These new names are more consistent and logical because:
primitiveField():
primitiveFieldRef():
Provides low-level access to the Field<Type> (primitive field)
without dimension or mesh-consistency checking. This should only be
used in the low-level functions where dimensional consistency is
ensured by careful programming and computational efficiency is
paramount.
internalField():
internalFieldRef():
Provides access to the DimensionedField<Type, GeoMesh> of values on
the internal mesh-type for which the GeometricField is defined and
supports dimension and checking and mesh-consistency checking.
Non-const access to the internal field now obtained from a specifically
named access function consistent with the new names for non-canst access
to the boundary field boundaryFieldRef() and dimensioned internal field
dimensionedInternalFieldRef().
See also commit 22f4ad32b1
Given that the type of the dimensioned internal field is encapsulated in
the GeometricField class the name need not include "Field"; the type
name is "Internal" so
volScalarField::DimensionedInternalField -> volScalarField::Internal
In addition to the ".dimensionedInternalField()" access function the
simpler "()" de-reference operator is also provided to greatly simplify
FV equation source term expressions which need not evaluate boundary
conditions. To demonstrate this kEpsilon.C has been updated to use
dimensioned internal field expressions in the k and epsilon equation
source terms.

1. Any non-blocking data exchange needs to know in advance the sizes to
receive so it can size the buffer. For "halo" exchanges this is not
a problem since the sizes are known in advance but or all other data
exchanges these sizes need to be exchanged in advance.
This was previously done by having all processors send the sizes of data to
send to the master and send it back such that all processors
- had the same information
- all could work out who was sending what to where and hence what needed to
be received.
This is now changed such that we only send the size to the
destination processor (instead of to all as previously). This means
that
- the list of sizes to send is now of size nProcs v.s. nProcs*nProcs before
- we cut out the route to the master and back by using a native MPI
call
It causes a small change to the API of exchange and PstreamBuffers -
they now return the sizes of the local buffers only (a labelList) and
not the sizes of the buffers on all processors (labelListList)
2. Reversing the order of the way in which the sending is done when
scattering information from the master processor to the other
processors. This is done in a tree like fashion. Each processor has a
set of processors to receive from/ send to. When receiving it will
first receive from the processors with the least amount of
sub-processors (i.e. the ones which return first). When sending it
needs to do the opposite: start sending to the processor with the
most amount of sub-tree since this is the critical path.
Patch contributed by Bruno Santos:
- "etc/config.sh/CGAL":
- Indented the contents of the recently added if block.
- Added comment about using system versions.
- Library paths are now only added if the respective version is not "boost-system" and "cgal-system".
- "src/renumber/Allwmake":
It now relies on the previous file to get the version for
Boost (the same way as in "makeCGAL"). This is so that it will also
build "SloanRenumber" if "boost_version" is set to "boost-system".
- "applications/utilities/mesh/generation/Allwmake":
It now also relies on the script "config.sh/CGAL" to get the
version for CGAL. If "cgal_version" is set to "cgal-system", it
will now also build "foamy*Mesh" utilities and respective
libraries.
Resolves report http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1232
The deprecated non-const tmp functionality is now on the compiler switch
NON_CONST_TMP which can be enabled by adding -DNON_CONST_TMP to EXE_INC
in the Make/options file. However, it is recommended to upgrade all
code to the new safer tmp by using the '.ref()' member function rather
than the non-const '()' dereference operator when non-const access to
the temporary object is required.
Please report any problems on Mantis.

For multi-region cases the default location of blockMeshDict is now system/<region name>
If the blockMeshDict is not found in system then the constant directory
is also checked providing backward-compatibility
To compile with 64bit labels set
WM_LABEL_SIZE=64
in ~/OpenFOAM/dev/prefs.sh
source ~/.bashrc
then Allwmake in OpenFOAM-dev.
This will build into for example OpenFOAM-dev/platforms/linux64ClangDPInt64Opt
If WM_LABEL_SIZE is unset or set to 32:
WM_LABEL_SIZE=32
the build would be placed into OpenFOAM-dev/platforms/linux64ClangDPInt32Opt
Thus both 32bit and 64bit label builds can coexist without problem.
