Upgrade instructions

From #5557 (Add option to output subdomain matrices in elliptic solver):

In input files for elliptic executable, change the option ExplicitInverse to:

ExplicitInverse:
  WriteMatrixToFile: None

You can set this option to a filename to output the subdomain matrices for debugging or analysis.

From #5562 (Add Wcns5z for ghmhd, add Enable options to LimitLorentz & FixConservatives):

Need to add

    Enable: false # Only needed when not using Kastaun for recovery

(or true) to FixConservatives and LimitLorentzFactor in input files.

From #5561 (Bump min Catch2 version to 3.4.0):

Building unit tests requires Catch2 v3.4.0 now. See the Catch2 docs for installation instructions (it's a standard CMake configure-build-install).

From #5542 (Clean up Sphere TimeDependentOptions):

To use hard coded time dependent maps with the Sphere domain creator, you no longer specify the following option

  TimeDependentMaps:
    ...
    SizeMap:  # <-- Don't specify this
      InitialValues: [...]

From #5573 (Enable p-refinement for ScalarWave executables):

ScalarWave input files need to have additional options, as well as now using global time-steppers instead of local time-steppers. (See the diff of tests/InputFiles/ScalarWave/PlaneWave1D.yaml)

From #5583 (Allow timescale tuner to not decrease timescale):

If your executable has a Size control system, remove the DecreaseThreshold: and DecreaseFactor: options from the TimescaleTuner of the Size control systems. Note that you should keep these options for the SmootherTuner option of Size control.

From #5608 (Support Gauss points in elliptic DG schemes):

In elliptic executables add the Discretization.DiscontinuousGalerkin.Quadrature option. Set it to GaussLobatto to keep the previous behavior.

From #5593 (Limit time step to prevent control-system deadlocks):

Executables with control systems and global time-stepping will now work with any time stepper, not just AdamsBashforth. When using a non-AdamsBashforth time stepper the step size will gradually decrease, so you should include the ChangeSlabSize event to increase it again.

From #5498 (Update GrMhd Analytic Boundary Conditions):

Gh-based initial data (which uses the WrappedGr wrapper class to add Gh) will require a wrapper GeneralizedHarmonic in input files. For example:

TovStar:
would become
GeneralizedHarmonic(TovStar):

From #5641 (Add option for runtime element distribution):

Evolution and elliptic executables must now have a new option in the input file called

Parallelization:
  ElementDistribution: NumGridPoints

An exception to this are the *CharacteristicExtract executables. They do not need this new option.

From #5619 (Use wedge shape map transition in BCO domain):

For the BinaryCompactObject domain creator, you must add the following two options to each of the shape map blocks

BinaryCompactObject:
  ...
  TimeDependentMaps:
    ...
    ShapeMapA:
      ...
      TransitionEndsAtCube: true
    ShapeMapB: #Same as A

From #5626 (Make GrMhd and GhMhd executables use runtime initial data. ):

All Initial Data will now be identified by InitialData in the input file, rather than AnalyticSolution, AnalyticData, or InitialData.

The EoS must be explicitly identified in the input file for all evolutions. To achieve "legacy" behavior, of using the EoS associated with the Initial data, specify
EquationOfState: FromInitialData
This will extract the EoS from the initial data and promote it to a 3-d EoS for evolution.
