## CHANGES in PETSc 2.1.5

#### General:

- Replace autoconf-configure with python-configure. Tested on Linux, IRIX, Alpha-OSF, Mac OSX
- Added PETSc interface to UMFPACK (Seq)
- SuperLU & SuperLU_DIST insterface is updated to the latest download versions. Complex version of these packages are now supported.
- Added Support for QR factorization into PETSc/SPOOLES interface (Seq)
- Added Support for installing PETSc with TAU instrumentation package. Please check config files in bmake/linux_tau.
- Added support for Cray SX-6 vector machine

#### Vec:

- Added VecMaxPointwiseDivide()

#### Mat:

- Added MatTranspose() for SBAIJ
- Added MatConvert_SeqAIJ_SeqSBAIJ()
- Added MatGetInertia()
- Added MatAXPY() to SBAIJ and BAIJ mat formats
- Added MatSetValuesBlocked() for SEQSBAIJ and MPISBAIJ formats
- Improved single precision SSE factorization routines
- Added scalable parallel binary viewer for MPIAIJ matrix

#### SLES:

- Improved LU and ILU damping for AIJ matrix type - New factorization damping policy (check manual)

#### SNES:

#### TS:

- Added TSGetDuration()

#### Other:
