What is new?
-------------
For changes since release ELPA 2015.11.011 please have a loog at the Changelog file
a) ABI change
---------------------
Most importantly, the ABI of the ELPA libray changed!
A rebuild/relink of the user code using the ELPA library is mandatory!
Hopefully, this will be the last ABI change for some time.
b) C interface
----------------------
Most importantly, the ABI of the ELPA library changed!
New interfaces have been added, the old ones still exists, thus a rebuild
of your code (build with ELPA 2015.11.001) should not be necessary. However,
it is not guaranteed whether your Fortran compiler produces compatible
Fortran modules if content is added to this modules. To be on the safe sight,
re-compiling your application with the new ELPA version is not a bad idea.
ELPA now is shipped with a C interface to directly call the ELPA library (written in Fortran)
from C code. Header files are provided to declare the c functions.
Since ELPA is still a Fortran library it might be necessary to link it together with the needed
Fortran runtime libraries in your C code.
For details of the ABI changes (including the history of changes) please have a
look at the "LIBRARY_INTERFACE" file
Any incompatibles to previous version?
Any incompatibilities to previous version?
---------------------------------------
As mentioned before, the ABI of ELPA has changed! It will be necessary
to rebuild the programs using ELPA, if this new version should be used.
Beware, using the new library with code which was build with an older verion
should not even run. If it does, the results will be wrong !
As mentioned before, the ABI of ELPA was changed such, that there should be no
incompatibility with the previous version ELPA 2015.11.001. There is an
incompatibility with older versions than ELPA 2015.11.001 !
