2023.04

[2023.04] - 2023-12-04

Known Issues

• GCC 9 and below as well as GCC 11.1.0 are unsupported due to compilation issues. See prior releases for more details.
• NO_QUAD_PRECISION macro is no longer set by FMS, the ENABLE_QUAD_PRECISION macro has replaced prior usage of NO_QUAD_PRECISION. -DENABLE_QUAD_PRECISION should be set if quad precision is to be used, otherwise FMS will not use quad precision reals where applicable.

Added

• DATA_OVERRIDE: A new namelist flag use_data_table_yaml has been added to enable usage of the yaml format data_override tables. This allows an executable built with yaml support be able to accept either format.

Changed

• RESERVED KEYWORD CHANGES: Various routines in FMS have been updated to not use fortran keywords for variable names. The names changed were: data, unit, and value. This may affect usage of external code if argument names are explicitly used. Only required arguement names were changed to mitigate any breaking changes.
• TESTS: Changes the testing scripts to allow for the MPI_LAUNCHER environment variable override to work with any provided arguments.

Fixed

• CMAKE: Fixed build issue with CMake where precision default flags were being overwritten when using GNU and MPICH.
• AUTOTOOLS: Fixes issue affecting installs where the global libFMS.F90 module was not being installed correctly and adds post-install message.
• DIAG_MANAGER: Fixes issue with incorrect start_time functionality (from the 2023.02.01 patch)
