  • The minimum C++ standard supported by Castro is now C++17. Most modern compilers
    support C++17; the notable exception is RHEL 7 and its derivatives like CentOS 7,
    where the default compiler is gcc 4.8. In that case a newer compiler must be loaded,
    particularly a version of gcc >= 7.0, for example by installing devtoolset-7 or (if
    running on an HPC cluster that provides modules) using a more recent gcc module. (#1506)

  • There can now be multiple _prob_params files throughout the source
    tree. We read the problem's file last and that takes precedence over
    any other _prob_params files found. (#1500)

  • The timestep limiter dtnuc_T has been removed. dtnuc_e and dtnuc_X
    are still available for controlling the burning timestep. (#1501)

  • A bug was fixed in the 2nd order true SDC (with reactions) that
    was giving the wrong solution and convergence (#1494). A second
    bug was fixed in defining the weights for the Radau quadrature
    when using true SDC (#1493)

  • Compiling with the PGI compiler is no longer a requirement for the CUDA build of Castro.
    We recommend using COMP=gnu with a version of gcc that is C++17 compliant (gcc >= 7).
