Revision 7da74a3371ae573c669ac1d3658ee95b6dd8d2e3 authored by Leif Strand on 17 November 2006, 02:24:51 UTC, committed by Leif Strand on 17 November 2006, 02:24:51 UTC 
Revised everything having to do with runtime configuration:
 
launcher.xxx, scheduler.xxx, and job.xxx.

Lowered the prominence/importance given to .pml files...
and resisted my temptation to delete all reference to them :-)

(I think I'm pretty much done with the v2.1 manual at this point.
Reading the manual makes me tired, because it reminds me of how
much work remains to be done on the code itself.  Ease-of-use
could be substantially improved...)

Please send CitComS.py bug reports to cig-mc@geodynamics.org.


Version 2.1.0

* Imporved build procedure. The CitComS executable embeds python
  interpreter by default and is staticly linked with MPI library,
  which improves the portability of the code. 

* New input format (INI-styled .cfg)

* No need to specify launcher.nodes anymore, it is calculated from the mesher
  properties.

* Support of binary format output (using HDF5 library).

* Additional data output (including: stress, pressure, and horizontal average)
  can be enabled/disabled by changing the input parameters.

* Fixes for several bugs: issue 30, 35, 42, 44 and 55. See the Geodynamics
  Roundup issue tracker (http://geodynamics.org/roundup) and the file
  ChangeLog for details. Important bug fixes include:

  - Inconsistent times in C and Pyre. When 'fixed_timestep' is set
    and the grid resolution is insufficient, the Pyre part of CitComS
    could give the wrong model time. (Issue 35)

  - Accidental deletion of surf files by batchsurf.py. batchsurf.py is a script
    to combine the surf files. If the current working directory happens to be
    the output directory of CitcomS, the script would delete the original surf
    files. (Issue 55)


Version 2.0.2

* Fixes for several minor bugs: issues 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
  Most of these are installation-related.  See the Geodynamics Roundup
  issue tracker (http://geodynamics.org/roundup) and the file ChangeLog
  for details.



Version 2.0.1

* CitComS.py is now distributed under the GNU General Public License.
  See the file COPYING for copying conditions.

* CitComS.py now uses the GNU Build System (Autoconf, Automake, and
  Libtool).  See the file INSTALL for building and installation
  instructions.
