Conduit provides APIs focused on simplifying data exchange in HPC simulations. It provides an intuitive model for describing hierarchical scientific data in C++, C, Fortran, and Python and is used for data coupling between packages in-core, serialization, and I/O tasks.

The 0.2.1 version is primarily a bug fix release, which includes:

• Fixes to support static builds, including on BGQ using xlc and gcc
• Bug fixes for Blueprint verify routines.
• The elimination of separate Fortran libs by moving Fortran symbols into their associated main libs
