The old reduction interface will + remain available. + +New mechanism for configuring external libraries: + External libraries, such as e.g. HDF5 or LAPACK, can now be + configured via configuration scripts within thorns, instead of + relying on the central Cactus configuration mechanism. This + simplifies interfacing to non-Cactus libraries. A set of new thorns + in the CactusExternal arrangement use this mechanism. The old + configuration mechanism is still available. + +Cactus documentation format changed to PDF: + Documentation is now produced as pdf files (instead of postscript). + Figures in thorn documentation directories need to be updated from + eps to pdf as well. + +Core Thorns +=========== + +CactusBase/InitBase: + A new thorn CactusBase/InitBase helps ensure that initial data are + set up correctly on all time levels. It does not set up any initial + data by itself; it merely remembers how initial data are to be set + up, so that other thorns can check their actions against this thorn. + + +============================================================================== + + +KNOWN BUGS IN BETA 16 +===================== +(See Cactus bug tracking system for a complete list) + +============================================================================== + + +TEST MACHINES NOTES +=================== + +(Alphabetical by architecture.) + + * Cray XT-4 + + o kraken.nics.tennessee.edu with MPI (MPI: Native) + (PGI 7.2.5) + + -
