## Highlights

- Major performance enhancements for reactor network calculations with large kinetic mechanisms. This comes from a new formulation for the reactor governing equations using species moles (rather than mass fractions) used together with a sparse, iterative solver in the ODE integrator that makes use of a semi-analytical Jacobian. ([`preconditioned_integration.py`](https://cantera.org/examples/python/reactors/preconditioned_integration.py.html), [#1010](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1010), [#1344](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1344), [#1363](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1363), [#1377](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1377), [#1411](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1411))
- Introduce `ExtensibleRate` Python class that can be used to implement new reaction rate parameterizations in Python, with parameters defined in YAML input files. These rate types can be used even when the main user application is not written in Python. ([class `ExtensibleRate`](https://cantera.org/documentation/docs-3.0/sphinx/html/cython/kinetics.html#extensiblerate), example [custom_reactions.py](https://cantera.org/examples/python/kinetics/custom_reactions.py.html), [#1382](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1382), [#1417](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1417), [#1456](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1456), [#1478](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1478), [#1494](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1494), [#1499](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1499))

- Introduce a C++ `SolutionArray` class, which is now used as the backend for the Python `SolutionArray` class ([E#137](https://github.com/Cantera/enhancements/issues/137), [#1385](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1385), [#1426](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1426), [#1458](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1458), [#1462](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1462), [#1464](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1464), [#1508](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1508), [#1520](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1520), [#1547](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1547), [#1585](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1585))
- Add "native" support for HDF5 as an input/output format for `SolutionArray` and 1D flames ([E#166](https://github.com/Cantera/enhancements/issues/166), [`flame_initial_guess.py`](https://cantera.org/examples/python/onedim/flame_initial_guess.py.html))
- Add a new thermo model, `coverage-dependent-surface` for representing surfaces where the enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity of each species may depend on its coverage and the coverage of other species in the phase. ([class `CoverageDependentSurfPhase`](https://cantera.org/documentation/docs-3.0/doxygen/html/db/d25/classCantera_1_1CoverageDependentSurfPhase.html#details), [E#59](https://github.com/Cantera/enhancements/issues/59), [#1135](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1135), [#1471](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1471), [#1529](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1529), [#1583](https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/pull/1583))
