  1. Changed: The TrilinosWrappers::SparseMatrix::clear_row() function used + to call TrilinosWrappers::SparseMatrix::compress() before doing its work, + but this is neither efficient nor safe. You will now have to do this + yourself after assembling a matrix and before clearing rows. +

  3. Changed: Implicit conversion from Tensor@<1,dim@> to Point@ was previously possible. This has now been prohibited (but you can still do the conversion with an explicit cast) as such conversions are diff --git a/include/deal.II/lac/trilinos_sparse_matrix.h b/include/deal.II/lac/trilinos_sparse_matrix.h index 10cabcf12e..b0ec65344f 100644 --- a/include/deal.II/lac/trilinos_sparse_matrix.h +++ b/include/deal.II/lac/trilinos_sparse_matrix.h @@ -1288,10 +1288,7 @@ namespace TrilinosWrappers /** * Remove all elements from this row by setting them to zero.
