+ +v5.10.0 release notes¶
+Clawpack 5.10.0 was released on XX. See Installing Clawpack.
+Permanent DOI: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.XX
+Changes relative to Clawpack 5.9.2 (November 4, 2023) are shown below.
+To see more recent changes that are in the the master branch but not yet +released, see Changes to master since v5.9.2.
+Follow the links to see changes that have been made to the master branch of +each repository since the last release (v5.10.0) on XX.
+These changes should appear in the next release. If you need them now, +see Developers’ Guide for instructions on cloning and installing from the +master branch.
+To see documentation that has already been developed to accompany any new +features listed below, click on the “dev” branch of the documentation, in +the menu on the left hand side of this page.
+Changes that are not backward compatible¶
+-
+
The switch to meson made in v5.9.2 requires the installation of some +additional packages for developers or others who choose to clone the +repositories from Github. The instructions in Installation instructions for developers +now include instructions to:
+++pip install -r requirements-dev.txt +
as part of the installation.
+
+In GeoClaw, when solving equations on the sphere, a spherical source term +in the mass equation is now included by default. This term was missing +previously and so results may change. +See https://www.clawpack.org/sphere_source.html for more discussion +and instructions for omitting this source term.
+
Changes to classic¶
+None.
+See classic diffs
+Changes to clawutil¶
+-
+
$CLAW/clawutil/src/Makefile.common, the main Makefile imported by all +application Makefiles in the Fortran versions, has been improved:
+-
+
When using make new to recompile all routines, after the modules are +compiled all other fortran source codes are compiled in parallel, +speeding up the process.
+RUNEXE was added to provide a string to be inserted before the name +of the executable EXE in order to run it. This is necessary in +particular to run the new 2D Boussinesq code using MPI, see +Boussinesq solvers in Two Space Dimensions for instructions.
+(Support for this also added to +$CLAW/clawutil/src/python/clawutil/runclaw.py).
+
+If FC is any variant of gfortran then use the same flags as +gfortran.
+
+Support added to +$CLAW/clawutil/src/python/clawutil/data.py for checkpt_style==4 +in AMRClaw and GeoClaw (see below), and also for the +D-Claw code +for granular-fluid flows, +which is being updated to work with the latest version of Clawpack. +This is still work in progress.
+Other minor changes.
+
See clawutil diffs
+Changes to visclaw¶
+-
+
Change the default plotfigure.facecolor to white for plots made by frametools.py (rather than clawpack_tan).
+Add hillshade option to frametools.py for better visualization of topography.
+Add imshow_norm and imshow_alpha as ClawPlotItem attributes for imshow plots.
+Remove deprecated faceted kwarg in calls to pcolor from frametools.py.
+Option added to make mpeg movies when doing make plots. +Provided ffmpeg is installed, +simply include this line in setplot.py:
+++plotdata.mp4_movie = True +
Then _plots will include movie_figN.mp4 for each figno N listed in
+++plotdata.print_fignos +
and will also be linked from the _PlotIndex.html file.
+You can also now easily change the name of the movie (also for the .html +version created by JSAnimation and the .gif version if requested) via e.g.:
+++plotdata.movie_name_prefix = 'chile2010_' # default is 'movie_' +
Then _plots will include chile2010_figN.mp4 for each figure.
+
+Updates to matlab plotting routines.
+

+Changes to riemann¶
+-
+
New Riemann solver for the p-system.
+Clean up some other things.
+
See riemann diffs
+Changes to amrclaw¶
+-
+
Bug fix for case when the domain is periodic only in x and not in y.
+STOP feature added: If you create a (possibly empty) file named STOP in the +run directory then the code will stop at the end of the current coarse grid +time step, after writing a checkpoint file. Useful to kill a computation with +the ability to restart after fixing something.
+Most routines in $CLAW/amr/src/2d were cleaned up to replace do loop labels +and closing continue statements with more modern enddo, avoiding +many warning messages when compiling the code. +(Still need to clean up 1d and 3d, and classic code, but this cleans up +GeoClaw compilation a lot.)
+
See amrclaw diffs
+Changes to geoclaw¶
+-
+
For shallow water equations on the sphere, a spherical source term +in the mass equation is now included by default. This term was missing +previously and so results may change. +See https://www.clawpack.org/sphere_source.html for more discussion +and instructions for omitting this source term.
+1D GeoClaw code added, as described at GeoClaw in One Space Dimension. In particular there +are new directories $CLAW/geoclaw/src/1d_classic and +$CLAW/geoclaw/examples/1d_classic.
+1D Boussinesq code added in $CLAW/geoclaw/src/1d_classic/bouss and some of +the examples, as described in Boussinesq solvers in One Space Dimension.
+2D Boussinesq code added, as described in Boussinesq solvers in Two Space Dimensions. In particular there +are new directories $CLAW/geoclaw/src/2d/bouss and +$CLAW/geoclaw/examples/2d/bouss.
+Using the 2D Boussinesq version of the code requires PETSc for solving the large sparse linear systems +that arise, which also requires LAPACK, BLAS, and MPI; +see Prerequisites for the 2d Boussinesq code.
+checkpt_style == 4 is now supported, meaning to create a checkpoint file +at every output time. (As with other options, setting it to -4 means to +checkpoint at the same times but to alternate between two checkpoint files +rather than creating a unique file for each checkpoint, greatly reducing +storage if you only need the latest one.)
+Introduce integer(kind=8) variables for some topo_module variables to +handle very large topo files for which the index was overflowing.
+Introduce STOP feature as described in above for amrclaw.
+Improve calculation of number of steps to take (ntogo) when CFL number is +too large in one step. (Still have issues sometimes where code dies with +too many dt reductions….)
+Fix bug in python function clawpack.geoclaw.util.bearing and introduce new +clawpack.geoclaw.util.gctransect to compute points along a great circle +transect connecting two points on the sphere. (Transects obtained by +linear interpolation in x,y are fine over small regions but not for +global-scale transects.)
+Other minor bug fixes, improvements, and cleanup.
