- Various bug fixes
What you may have to change to be compatible
- Remove PPLIST symbol NEKNEK (not required anymore)
- Use valint instead of ubc in userbc for neknek
- Remove multimesh_create call from usr file (not required anymore)
- Adjust calls to interpolation wrapper according to new interface in interp.f
- Remove common block CTORQ from usr (now part of OBJDATA included in TOTAL)
- Use nekamg_setup tool instead of amg_hypre (required for semg_amg preconditioner)
- Your parameters to the reserved user space param(170) - param(200)
- Set lelr in SIZE for restart using muliple files (check value in file header)
- Use planar_avg() instead of planar_average_z etc.
- Rename AMG input files (example: amg_Aff.dat -> ethier.amgAff.dat)
