• The density flux limiter was simplified and fixes a race condition
  (#646)

• The SDC algorithm can now use Radau quadrature instead of
  Gauss-Lobatto quadrature. (#666)

• The option castro.ppm_reference_eigenvectors has been removed. This
  is now used by default with the CTU PPM solver.

Castro 19.10

-- The SDC algorithm now implements the burning conditionals
depending on rho and T (react_rho_min, react_rho_max,
react_T_min, react_T_max) (#598, #654)

-- The SDC/MOL PLM reconstruction now implements reflecting BCs on
the interface states (#652, #654)

-- A well-balanced scheme has been added to the piecewise linear SDC
method, enabled with castro.plm_well_balanaced=1. At the moment
it only supports constant gravity. (#294, $654))

-- The weighting of the time-node fluxes stored in the flux registers
for SDC has been fixed (#654, #658)

-- As before, we can choose the reconstruction with PLM using the
castro.plm_iorder flag: 1 = piecewise constant, 2 = piecewise
linear slopes. Now we added a way to specify the limiter used
with the linear slopes. castro.plm_limiter = 1 will use the 2nd
order MC limiter and castro.plm_limiter = 2 will use the default
4th order MC limiter (previously there was no way to select the
2nd order limiter). (#654)

-- The Runge-Kutta based method-of-lines integration method has
been removed in favor of the SDC integration. (#657)

-- A new way of specifying the problem runtime parameters has been
introduced. They can now be specified in a plain text file,
_prob_params, and at compile time, the probdata_module is
automatically created. This automates the creation of the
probdata variables, the namelist for reading them, setting them
as managed for CUDA, and adds the ability to output the values to
a file (like job_info). This feature is opt-in. You need to set
USE_PROB_PARAMS in your GNUmakefile and then define the problem
parameters in a file _prob_params in the problem directory.
(#234, #619, #673)

-- The time to output is now stored in the job_info file (#365)

-- The SDC time advancement method has been documented

-- The job_info file now reports the number of GPUs being used.

Castro 19.09

-- You can now type ./Castro.gnu.ex --describe to see the list of
modules / compilers the code was built with (#660)

-- The reaction quantities are now computed as proper 4th order
averages for the plotfile, when using sdc_order = 4 (#647)

-- The velerr tagging now takes the abs() of the velocity component
to ensure we tag large positive and negative velocities.

Castro 19.08.1

-- Fix CUDA compilation

-- Remove special treatment of 4th order outflow BCs (see #648)
