[FLASH-USERS] No supportWENO flag?

[Sean Couch]

Hi James,

Yes, +supportWENO has been deprecated as additional guardcells (beyond 4) are not necessary for 5th-order WENO.  Use of WENO (order=5) with the unsplit solvers should be available now without this additional shortcut.  

Yes, upwind PPM slope limiters still require 6 guardcells and, hence, the +supportPPMUpwind flag in the setup line.

Documentation is always slow to catch up with the actual code ;-)
