This folder contains patches that modify the functionality of the current version of DAMASK prior to the corresponding inclusion in the official release.
* **fwbw_derivative** switches the default spatial derivative from continuous to forward/backward difference.
This generally reduces spurious oscillations in the result as the spatial accuracy of the derivative is then compatible with the underlying solution grid.
* **petsc3.7** adapts to API changes introduced between PETSc 3.6.x and 3.7.x for setting PETSc options.
