- Allow user definitions of head losses by zones (see cs_user_head_losses.c).
- Do not relax k and epsilon by default when using Bl v2 k turbulence model.
- When inserting boundaries (shuch as thin walls), vertices are now separated
on each side of those boundaries, for a true topological mesh modification.
cs_user_mesh_thinwall is also renamed to cs_user_mesh_boundary.
Numerics
--------
- Improve time stepping of the coupled solver for the components of Reynolds
stress tensor (irijco = 1).
* No clipping on Rij should appear when no flux rectonstruction is needed and
an upwind scheme is used (except those due to boundary conditions on R12).
* Add eigen_max function to cs_math.c
* EBRSM and SSG models are treated.
* Add a clipping indicator which can be activated to check where clipping
occurs in the output files
- Add and reorganize convection schemes (especially for VOF method)
* reorganize Roe-Sweby limiters.
* add Compressive convection schemes for accurate modeling of free surface
with VOF method.

vectors and scalars, in place of iterative gradient initialized by least
squares gradient (imrgra=4,5,6).
- Add a cooling towers module to simulate exchange zones.
- Add a convection-diffusion equation solver for additional vector variables.
Physical modelling
------------------
- Add a Volume Of Fluid algorithm:
* partly merge cavitation algorithm with VOF algorithm.
- Add data assimilation feature to atmospheric module
(optimal interpolation and nudging):

in cs_sles_it
* an optimal interpolation structure is created
* interpol grid and measures set structures are used as well
* multidimensional analysis are computed for multidimensional variables.
- Modification of the LES dynamic Smagorinsky clippings.
- Add internal coupling for scalars of two domains (for instance temperature
between solid and liquid, or enthalpy for electric arcs between plasma and
weldpool).
- Add sorption model treating non-equilibrium between solid and liquid phases
to the ground water flow module.
- Lagrangian module:
* add deposition and resuspension models on internal faces.
The user can the impose the motion of deposited particles. If integral
approach for porous modelling is set up (iporos=3), then the internal fluid
section is reduced by particle deposition.
* injection is now pseudo-continuous when injecting at every time step.
To revert to the previous behavior, the CS_LAGR_RESIDENCE_TIME value
must be set to 0 for newly injected particles.
* 2 new attributes, CS_LAGR_TR_TRUNCATE and CS_LAGR_TR_REPOSITION, may
be used to visualize particles with trajectory errors, rather than
remove them. Particles are now only removed when "completely lost",
which should never happen.
GUI changes
-----------

Architectural changes
---------------------
- Renamed Autovnv to studymanager.
- Remove dependency to Qt of GUI XMLengine.Case class, used by studymanager.
This dependency was introduced in version 3.0.

for movable builds, a CATALYST_ROOT_DIR environment variable may be used.
- Added general structures to handle boundary and volume zones.
- Extended run staging and submission to coupled cases. Temporary status file
is now in execution ad not scripts directory.
- Add handling of lmod-based environment modules.

- Replaced icond keyword by icondb, icondv to allow to enable wall condensation
and condensation on internals at the same time.
- Probes output activation is now based on field "post_vis" keyword, and does
not allow fine-grained per-variable probes selection anymore (this being little-used,
and feasible through use of additional probe sets).
- Prepared for cs_user_extra_op and cs_user_parameters translation to C in VnV base:
* removed Fortran arrays corresponding to members of cs_var_cal_opt_t C structure
* deployed use of get/set var_cal_opt everywhere
* added cs_post_util functions (rij post-pro for EVM models on a subset of cells)

* removed iprpfl indirection array between field indices and properties
numbers; iprpfl is kept for compatibility but is just an identity
function (hence still known in user subroutines);
* irom, iviscl, etc.. are now directly field indices (hence starting from 0)
* test on variability of specific heat (icp), isochoric specific heat (icv)
and volumetric viscosity (iviscv) are consequently shifted of 1
(-1 : uniform field, >=0: non uniform)
* renamed _owner utility subroutines
* renamed most used add_property_field into add_property_field_1d
* mesh viscosity now a 3-dimensional field when strictly orthotropic
* removed iroma, ivisla, ivista, icpa variables; previous values of these
fields now accessed by field_get_val_prev subroutine.
- Removed global_row number from matrix structures, as it was never used,
and could cause confusion with global ids such as those used with
range sets (which are realy used in some cases).
- Added range set structure, to ease operations related to handling of an
owning rank for distributed entities.
- Added matrix assembler structure, to allow more general assembly of
matrices, especially in parallel cases with rows matching elements
shared on ranks (needed for parallelization of CDO operators).

A priori, could be used only if the thermal turbulent flux was solved.
- Fix initialisation of flux and divergence boundary coefficients for coupled
vector variables (field with dim=3).

- When using boundary condition zones defined by the GUI, error reporting
for overlapping zones is improved, with associated visualization.
- When extruding boundary faces, the group class id of interior faces
previously on the boundary may by kept as an option.
This is the default using the GUI.
Changes
-------
- Turbomachinery module: for better restart behavior, the joined mesh
is now also handled using checkpoint/restart.
- GUI: remove titles from profile definitions, as these were only handled
by the obsolete Salome VISU module.
- Added some turbomachinery post-processing utility functions.
- Allow coupling of radiative transfer with 1d wall thermal module.
- Extend automatic postprocessing output to fields defined at vertices.
- Add boundary mesh extrusion function callable from user subroutines.

cs_selector_get_i_face_num_list, it is no longer necessary to build
selection mechanisms during the optional mesh modification step.
Numerics
--------
- Add optional multigrid solver for scalars with convection and diffusion,
based on the PhD work of Sana Khelifi.
- Lagragian module: new trajectory algorithm which does not loose particles even
for warped faces (cs_lagr_tracking).
- Improve robustness of Boundary conditions for wall functions of scalars.
Mainly impact Atmospheric flows.
- Add many convective flux limiters for convective schemes:
* Fix in Convection scheme when the density is variable and the theta
scheme is 1/2 so that the scheme is now conservative over time.
* add inline functions for vectors
* simplify non-relaxed inline functions
* use inline functions for temperature explicit balance (bilsct)
* Add an add hoc limiter, called Beta, which ensures that, for any
convective scheme and any time stepping, that the variable remains
between "min_scalar" and "max_scalar", to be given by the user.
* Implementation of the Roe-Sweby Limiters for all the convective
schemes (Original SOLU, CENTER, Standard SOLU)
* Creation of a new keyword: kst, for key source term;
we use it to add source terms in the Beta limiter
- Handling of linear solver errors is improved to allow re-try with
different solvers or parameters.
- Default to multigrid-preconditionned conjugate gradient for
most symetric linear systems.
- Improve performance and possible precision of reduction operations.

Architectural changes
---------------------
- Added parallel IO for MED output when underlying MED library is built
with parallel (HDF5) IO support.
- Extend control file mechanism with Python module communicating through
sockets (which may in turn be extended by an RPC mechanism); the
commands are currently limited to connecting, advancing a time step,
and disconnecting (in addition to control_file commands), but may
be extended.
- Simplify MEDCoupling output writer so as to generate MEDCoupling meshes
on the current partition rather than aggregating them to the root rank,
as this should soon be directly usable by a VTK adaptor.
- Convert Lagrangian and radiative module implementations to C.
This affects the associated user subroutines.
- Add basic (non-GUI) support for OAR resource manager.
- Add mesh adjacencies structure to allow direct access to a cell's
neighbor cells and boundary faces. This allows looping on
cells, as when computing a SpMV product using a CSR matrix,
rather than looping successively on faces.
- Improvements to postprocessing writer handling.
* add 'plot' and 'time_plot' writer types;
* time plot flushing behavior is now determined by the
cs_time_plot_set_flush_default() function, replacing the
Fortran 'nthsav' and 'tplflw' values;
* writers can now use the 'separate_meshes' option to create a
separate format-specific writer per mesh.
- SALOME version required for MEDCoupling is now version 8.0
in this version, MEDCoupling is a full standalone library and may
be used separately from the MED module.
Release 4.2.0 (December 23 2015)
================================
User changes
------------
- Automatic initialization of the Turbulence for EBRSM and k-omega models.
From a reference velocity (uref), the turbulence profiles are reset
after the first iteration. The velocity magnitude is also changed
so that the Reichard profile is imposed next to walls.
Activate it with reinit_turb=1 (in usipsu).
- Merge the bad cell and the mesh quality criterion for offsetting.
- Merge general boundary temperature handling with the radiative
"wall temperature", for unified logging and post-processing.
- Added optional saving of scalar variable boundary values as fields
(also done for temperature when a property).
- GUI: "check mesh" option is replaced by a new "preprocessor view": when
building a new case, the GUI only shows sections relative to mesh
selection and preprocessing, showing only the steps necessary up to
preprocessing. "Tools" menu entries and toolbar icons allow switching
from the preprocessing mode to the computation mode.
This new view encourages users to use the "preprocessing" run type,
which was previously available at the end of the GUI options,
instead of the "check mesh" option, which did not handle batch runs
or user subroutines.
- Add boundary cell thickness computation to mesh quality criteria.
Physical modelling
------------------
- Add gas mix thermo. and fix mass source term with the compressible module
(internship of A. Menasria):
* allow to select both gas mix (igmix) specific physics with compressible
(icompf) spec. physics

mass (igmxml)
* add a field pointer mapping for gas mix (mapping mix molar mass field)

gas mix (ivsuth option)
* move setting of ieos from uscfx1 to usppmo
* add thermo. relations for perfect gas mix in compressible thermo.
(also for BCs),
* igmix specific physics triggers switch of ieos to 3
* treat conduction term in total energy equation correctly in gas mix
(Cv depends on species)
* fix mass source term in compressible (momentum source term coming from
added mass has to be accounted for in simplified momentum equation during
mass balance step).
- Add precipitation/dissolution modeling for particle tracking.
- Add the added-mass term in Lagrangian particle tracking (activate it
with iadded_mass=1).
- Add FSCK radiative model for coal combustion.
Activate it in cs_user_parameters.f90 with imfsck=1.
- Add a wall function for the velocity based on scalable wall function
which is valid for both rough and smooth walls (activate it with
iwallf = 6 in cs_user_parameters.f90).
Moreover, the continuous wall function based on Van Driest (iwallf=5)
is extended to Eddy Viscosity Models, and the use of roughness is allowed.
For both wall functions, roughness must be specified in the field nammed
"boundary_roughness" in cs_user_boundary_conditions.f90 for instance.
Numerics
--------
- Add new preconditioning management layer to allow for use of multigrid
as a preconditioner.

Add functionalities to cs_locmat_t structure.
* Add convection for CDO vertex-based schemes.
Add advection field along with its post-processing.
Two advection operators are available related to the conservative or
non-conservative form of the advection operator.
Add post-processing of an equation (i.e. that of the related field).
* Add different ways to enforce boundary conditions for CDO vertex-based
schemes. Weak (Nitsche) enforcement, penalization and strong enforcement.
* Add a domain and an equation structures
Move cs_param_eq_t structure as a member of the cs_equation_t structure
* Add the computation of the wall distance for CDO vertex-based schemes

The GUI now uses this to prepare data upon submission.
- Some renames and simplifications in matrix fill types:
* to make things more generic, CS_MATRIX_33_BLOCK* is replaced by
CS_MATRIX_BLOCK*
* tuning for blocks assumes 3x3 blocks, but a specific CS_MATRIX_BLOCK_D_66
type is added (as a subcase of CS_MATRIX_BLOCK_D) to allow for specific
