Apologies: CW

User question about installing on WSL on Slack. ngsPETSc installation docs are possibly incomplete. If so we should bug them to updated the docs.

This fixes a memory leak bug, but also changes the checkpointing interface. This will break existing code. We need to publicise this first.

Aim to get this in before the first versioned release.

Looks very good and was definitely needed. Some comments about what level of detail is needed in the explanations before approving.

Note that PRs put in this section should either be trivial or already have been reviewed. Discussion-worthy PRs should be separate agenda items.

PB: #4073 Merged.

PB: #4012 (depends on #4073). API changes/deprecations can wait. Approved, automerge enabled for whenever CI runners are back up.

PB: #4082 Merged.

CW: #4091 Merged.
