Changes: 3.20

General:

• Add PetscOptionsBegin(), PetscOptionsEnd(), PetscOptionsInt(), PetscOptionsBool(), PetscOptionsIntArray(), PetscOptionsReal(), PetscOptionsRealArray(), and PetscOptionsScalar() for Fortran

• Add PetscAssertPointer() as a replacement for PetscValidPointer(), PetscValidCharPointer(), PetscValidIntPointer(), PetscValidInt64Pointer(), PetscValidCountPointer(), PetscValidBoolPointer(), PetscvalidScalarPointer(), and PetscValidRealPointer()

• Convert standard header-guards in PETSc header-files to #pragma once. Users relying on specific preprocessor definitions to determine whether particular PETSc headers (e.g. petscdm.h used to be guarded by PETSCDM_H) have been included will find that this no longer works. While header-guards are technically “public” (insofar that they appear in public header-files), their name and value are considered implementation details

Configure/Build:

• Add support for external-packages to prefer tarball download for regular use - as currently all packages prefer git clones. MPICH is a package using this feature. Here MPICH tarball will be downloaded for regular use. However on providing --download-mpich-commit=main option - configure download and builds from MPICH git repository

• Add support for external package SLATE, optional dependency for STRUMPACK

• Add support for external package ZFP, optional dependency for STRUMPACK

• Add support for external package ButterflyPACK, optional dependency for STRUMPACK
