  • The master branch has been renamed the main branch. If you have an
    existing clone of Castro, then do the following to update for this
    change. First, do git checkout master if you're not already on the
    old master branch. Then do git pull. This will gather the updates
    to the repo, but will fail with the message Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/master' from the remote, but no such ref was fetched. Then you can simply do git checkout main and your local
    repo should automatically switch to that branch and track updates from
    the upstream repo on GitHub. If you like, you can then delete the old
    master branch with git branch -D master.

  • The CUDA build no longer has a requirement that amr.blocking_factor
    be a multiple of 8. Though this is recommended for performance reasons,
    it was previously required due to correctness reasons because of the
    use of an AMReX Fortran function, amrex_filccn. As noted in #1048, this
    function is no longer required due to recent changes in Castro (problems
    overriding bc_fill_nd.F90 or bc_ext_fill_nd.F90 do not need to provide an
    initial fill of the ghost zone data before implementing their specific
    boundary conditions; this is now done for you). Calling this function
    may now result in race conditions and correctness issues in the CUDA
    build, so it should be removed from any problem setups. (#1049)

  • The functionality that permitted the rotation rate to change as a
    function of time, castro.rotation_include_domegadt and
    castro.rotational_dPdt, has been removed. (#1045)

  • A CUDA illegal memory access error in Poisson gravity and diffusion
    has been fixed (#1039).

  • The parameter castro.track_grid_losses has been removed. (#1035)

  • The parameter castro.print_fortran_warnings, which no longer had any
    effect, has been removed. (#1036)

  • PPM reconstruction has been added to the MHD solver (#1002)

  • The Reactions_Type StateData has been reworked so that its first
    NumSpec components are rho * omegadot rather than omegadot; then,
    the NumAux auxiliary components are stored, if the network has any
    auxiliary variables; then, rho * enuc is stored (enuc itself is
    removed), and finally the burn weights are stored. The checkpoint
    version has been incremented, so this version of the code cannot
    restart from checkpoints generated with earlier versions of the
    code. (#927)

  • A bug where refluxing between AMR levels resulted in incorrect results
    when a retry occurred in the previous timestep has been fixed. (#1018)
