  changes (#2838, #2845, #2861)

Release 24.05

24.05

• Changed how the shock flag is computed. It is now computed once,
  at the start of a timestep. It also takes into account sources
  such that the pressure jump is only the pressure that is available
  to drive a shock. (#2726, #2728)

• Fixed a boundary condition check in gravity (#2833)

• Some coverity and clang-tidy fixes (#2810, #2811, #2835, #2831,
  #2832)

• Fix the wdmerger initialization when the two stars are overlapping
  (#2829)

• Fixed the Castro retry mechanism when amr.subcycling_mode = None
  (#2821, #2824, #2826)

• Added more amr parameters to the job_info file (#2828)

• Added OpenMP to the SDC burn loop (#2770)

Release 24.04

24.04

• Some clang-tidy fixes (#2779, #2780, #2781, #2784, #2786, #2787, #2790,
  #2791, #2792, #2793, #2797, #2798, #2799, #2800, #2801, #2804)

• Fix species initialization in the Detonation problem (#2806)
  and let it work with NSE (#2765)

• Sync up with AMReX changes (#2794)

• wdmerger now reports composition of initial stars (#2767)

• flame_wave now checks if the atm_delta is too small (#2782)
  and stores X(ash) (#2773)

• a bounds issue in the true SDC integration was fixed (#2775)

Release 24.03

24.03

• Documentation updates (#2742, #2752, #2753)

• Fix some code warnings (#2737)

• Fixed the exact Riemann solver compilation (#2745)

• Fix an issue with large kernel sizes with ROCm in the reduction code
  in the reactions (#2749)

Release 24.02

24.02

• Lot's of code fixes from coverity and clang-tidy (#2736, #2734,
  #2735, #2731, #2732, #2733)

• Fix the boundary condition logic at a wall for Detonation (#2722)

• Reimplement the shock detection algorithm to account for sources
  and do a better job in multidimensions (#2711, #2710, #2709, #2704)

• Start the process of moving the runtime parameters to structs (#2688)

Release 24.01

24.01

• An option for unlimited PPM reconstruction was added (#2670)

• An option allowing for optional passive sources to the conserved
  state was added (#2678)

• A script diag_parser.py was added to allow for easy parsing of
  the global diagnostic files output at runtime (#2666, #2667)

Release 23.12

23.12

• The radiation solver port to C++ has been completed (#2638, #2648)

Castro 23.11

23.11

• Problem GNUmakefiles have been standardized and now allow for the
  problem to be compiled elsewhere (#2640, #2641, #2642, #2643)

• The true-SDC Newton solver has been made more robust and faster
  (#2586, #2602, #2605, #2606)

• Several problems that required the initial model grid spacing to
  be specified in the inputs file now automatically compute it as
  needed, including flame_wave (#2610), convective_flame,
  bubble_convergence, and hse_convergence (#2624), double_bubble,
  gamma_law_bubble, and hse_convergence_general (#2612)

• Outflow boundary conditions for the 4th order solver have been changed
  to no longer use the one-sided stencil (#2607)

• The ca_rad_source hook in Fortran has been removed. The existing
  problem_rad_source() hook in C++ can be used instead. (#2626)

• The compile option USE_AUX_UPDATE has been removed. If you want to
  manually update the auxiliary parameters, you can use an external
  source term or you can use the problem post-timestep hook. (#2614)

• The pressure is now always included in the x-momentum flux in 1-d
  Cartesian, and this fixes an issue at jumps in refinement with the
  pressure gradient (#2468)

• A bug was fixed in the 4th order diffusion operator that was introduced
  when it was originally converted to C++ (#2592)

• The 2nd order Radau integrator had the wrong quadrature weights
  (#2594)

Release 23.10

23.10

• True-SDC no longer evolves density as part of the reaction system
  and now uses the same ODE code path as simplified-SDC. This means
  we don't need our own custom VODE righthand side functions (#2559,
  #2560, #2567, #2578, #2580, #2584)

• The true SDC runtime parameter sdc_solve_for_rhoe has been
  removed. (#2572)

• The true SDC runtime parameters sdc_solver_tol_spec,
  sdc_solver_tol_ener, sdc_solver_atol have been removed.
  Instead the Microphysics integration tolerance parameters should
  be used. (#2571)

• The true SDC runtime parameter sdc_newton_use_analytic_jac has
  been removed. Instead the Microphysics integrator jacobian
  parameter should be used (#2573)
