Yes, Mix::precision will be used for the autostepping on the new algorithm, and the two precision fields that this ticket corresponds to are merely the output precision. The variables are iomanager::outputPrecision and iomanager::timePrecision.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Are these two separate variables? And are they distinct from the autostep 'precision' variable?
