v2.16.4

What's Changed

Updates

• Dockerfiles
• README.md
• conda recipe

Full Changelog: v2.16.0...v2.16.4

v2.16.1b

Minor Updates:

• Badlands python package is now taken from https://github.com/badlands-model/badlands
• Lavavu container is no longer built separately - lavavu 1.19 is used directly
• Github actions update.

v2.16.0

New:

• New 3D free surface implementation (tested). The vertical coordinates of the mesh nodes are rebuilt by being advected and interpolated from the surface velocities, and then solving the steady state heat equation to get a uniform distribution. See the related example in docs/UWGeodynamics/examples.
• Build changes PEP 621, pyproject.toml, and all source code now under src.
• Move to Petsc-3.21.0.
• New G4A stats module for user statics measurements.

Changes:

• UWGeodynamics - 'ressources' folder is now 'resources' (but previous name is still supported).
  Modify docker building script to allow changing MPI implementation.

Fixes:

• Update UWGeoTutorials.rst #693.
• Fix for cohesion bug in Druker-Prager rheology. #707

Full Changelog: v2.15.1b...v2.16.0

Underworld 2.15.1

New:

• Move to Petsc-3.19.4
• New 3D free surface implementation. (Not fully tested).
• New install guides for Gadi and setonix.

Fixes:

• UWGeodynamics - add dynamic heating back into the advection diffusion solver, #669
• Using updated Badlands-2.2.3 without license issue.

Full Changelog: v2.14.1b...v2.15.1b

Underworld v2.14.1

New

• Pragmatic included in Petsc installation

Fixes

• 'temperatureDot' checkpointing automatically enabled for UWGeodyanmic models.
• Conda build method - feedstock-style

Underworld v2.14.0

New:

• New Dockerfile configuration resulting in smaller docker images.
• Move to Petsc-3.18.1.

Changes:

• Multiple mpi implementation images for HPC usage (Gadi and Setonix).

Fixes:

• Revert to HDF5 1.10. Fix for Checkpointing issues.

Underworld v2.13.1b

What's changed:

• Merge UWGeodynamics into Underworld (from underworld import UWGeodynamics as GEO).
• Compatibility with petsc 3.17.
• Update Docker images: Ubuntu 22.04LTS and mpich 3.4.3, python 3.10, petsc 3.17.1.
• Update install_docs/nci gadi.
• Improved cmake logic.
