- `896 <https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/issues/896>`_:
Poor garbage collection with petsc4py 3.18.3 (was "Memory leak in

--------------------------

--------------------------

This maintenance release adds a new example contributed by
`Jon83Carvalho <https://github.com/Jon83Carvalho>`_,
clarifies many points in the documentation,
migrates all :ref:`CONTINUOUSINTEGRATION` to
`Azure <https://dev.azure.com>`_,
updates to using
`wheels <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/binary-distribution-format/>`_
for distribution,
and substantially refactors matrices to work more consistently across
solvers.

----------------------------

----------------------------

This release fixes assorted viewer issues, fixes a problem with convection
boundary conditions, and introduces spherical meshes.

.. attention::

There are
`known <https://travis-ci.com/github/usnistgov/fipy/builds/177879719>`_
`failures <https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/usnistgov/fipy/248/workflows/4babcd98-aafc-4931-a353-64bbb3c93cb6>`_
with the VTK viewers (bitrot has started to set
in since the `demise of Python 2.7`_). There's also a new parallel
failure in `NonUniformGrid1D` that we need to figure out.
