Release 2021.10.04

Upgrade instructions

From #3475 (Add and observe XCTS constraint norms):

ObserveNorms now takes the observation value tag as first template parameter. Pass ::Tags::Time to get the same behavior as before.

From #3538 (Enforce tags for Variables are derived from db::SimpleTag):

Any tag used in the list of tags on which a Variables is templated must derive from db::SimpleTag

From #3552 (Move parallel interpolator to ParallelAlgorithms.):

All the parallel interpolation framework is now in ParallelAlgorithms instead of NumericalAlgorithms.

From #3559 (Change source frame of ElementMap from Logical to ElementLogical):

If you use Frame::Logical this will now need to be either Frame::BlockLogical or Frame::ElementLogical depending upon which of the two frames the map uses or tensor represents.

From #3507 (Add block names to BinaryCompactObject domain, support per-block refinement):

When constructing a BinaryCompactObject domain creator from options, delete the AdditionToRadialRefinementLevel options. They have been replaced by per-block support for the InitialRefinement and InitialGridPoints options.

• If you used no additional radial refinement before, you can just delete the options:

  # New - uniform refinement
  DomainCreator:
    BinaryCompactObject:
      # ... (delete AdditionToRadialRefinementLevel options)
      InitialRefinement: 1

• If you had this additional radial refinement configuration before:

  # Old - additional radial refinement
  DomainCreator:
    BinaryCompactObject:
      ObjectA:
        # ...
        AdditionToRadialRefinementLevel: 1
      # ...
      OuterSphere:
        # ...
        AdditionToRadialRefinementLevel: 2
      InitialRefinement: 1

  you can reproduce it now with these options:

  # New - additional radial refinement
  DomainCreator:
    BinaryCompactObject:
      # ...
      InitialRefinement:
        ObjectAShell:   [1, 1, 2]
        ObjectBShell:   [1, 1, 1]
        ObjectACube:    [1, 1, 1]
        ObjectBCube:    [1, 1, 1]
        EnvelopingCube: [1, 1, 1]
        CubedShell:     [1, 1, 1]
        OuterShell:     [1, 1, 3]

Refer to the help string of the BinaryCompactObject domain creator for details.

From #3568 (Remove noexcepts):

Remove all noexcept specifiers.
