PSyclone Release 3.0

As discussed, we need to make a 3.0 release. Mainly to facilitate the new users of the 'code transformation' functionality and to emphasise that the API has changed since the 2.5.0 release.

[x] https://github.com/stfc/fparser/pull/451
[x] https://github.com/stfc/fparser/pull/450
[ ] #2701
[ ] FFSL support is required (#2661)
[ ] Document the OpenMP offload functionality (under https://psyclone.readthedocs.io/en/latest/transformations.html#openmp) and add/extend an LFRic example to show it.
[ ] #2739
[x] #2742 (PSyAD test-harness reproducibility)
[ ] #2755
[ ] #2697 Would be nice to have as it also fixes NEMO integration tests.
[ ] Update version in Spack (and update Wiki to remind us to do this)

We want this before SC24.

I might also consider #2483, that might be useful for work with the UM, but I need to check where this PR is exactly at

This task is almost complete so I have added it to the list.

@arporter Should we rename the "nemo" tutorials to Code transformation before this release as well?

Ideally, yes.

Ideally, yes.

I'll see if I can do this then

#2759 (which I assume should go into 3.0 as well) addresses a similar issue with library files. And there are the examples as well.

We should agree on a name - maybe just transformation? Or no_psykal?

For the folder names: generic or std_fortran are other options.

Thanks @LonelyCat124 and @hiker. I like "generic" but am happy to go with the consensus.

I had a chat with Sergi about the tutorials and we decided to leave that until we have time to redo them entirely, as they're very out of date.

Nov 04 '24 15:11 LonelyCat124

OK.

Nov 04 '24 16:11 arporter

generic sounds fine to me

[x] #2790 (which is useful for training) (should I perhaps move this up into the top level comment?)

We now have a hard deadline of 13th of December for this release. We should probably aim for at least a week earlier to allow for any unforeseen problems.

@arporter, it's Friday 13th of December for LFRic release to use PSyclone 3.0, which means we need to ideally be ready a week before that :)

The only thing outstanding now is #2701 (plus my small PR to update the OMP docs). Do you want to back-port your fix for this @sergisiso or shall we leave it? @TeranIvy has the new, 'user-supplied kernels with operates-on dof' functionality been tested do you know? We have CIUK from Weds to Fri next week so I would prefer to make the release on Monday or Tuesday if possible.

Release has been published on github and manually uploaded to pypi. RTD has updated. I've opened a PR on spack (https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/47964/files). I'll email the LFRic list now!
