GridapSolvers v0.5.0
From the beginning of the package, we have naturally wanted to extend the functionalities to GridapP4est and GridapPETSc. However, this comes at a cost: We depended on compatibility with the binaries/artifacts that power those two packages. This has been a downside in terms of compatibility, as showcased by the struggles we had during our JOSS publication. Moreover, the library has come to a point where we do not require PETSc or P4est for most things.
All this considered, I have decided to move all of this code to extensions. Extensions are a new feature of Julia 1.9, that allow conditional loading and extension of packages. This perfectly addresses our needs, so I see no downside of taking this path.
The only downside is that it limits our Julia compat to 1.9 and above. I however do not think this is an issue.
Breaking changes
- Due to the use of package extensions, only Julia versions above 1.9 are now supported.
- Moved GridapP4est, GridapPETSc and IterativeSolvers into extensions (i.e weak dependencies). Since PR#76.
