     Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
     ==============================
 
+o overhaul of IO so that we now have flags for MDSIO and/or MNC
+  - all verification tests compile and run with linux_ia32_g77
+  - defaults are compatible with current input files--nothing 
+    should change if you were not previously using MNC
+  - MNC output has been added in numerous places (eg. timeave)
+    but there are still a few writes not yet do-able with MNC
+    (this is in progress)
+  - flags now allow for either/or/both use of MDSIO and MNC and 
+    documentation will soon follow
+  - numerous small formatting cleanups for ProTeX
+o add version info (via BUILD_INFO.h) to MNC and stdout
+
+checkpoint54e_post
+o add two new packages
+  - pp81 (Packanowski and Philander, 1981), Richardson number and 
+    stratification dependent mixing
+  - my82 (Mellor and Yamada, 1982) level 2 turbulence closure scheme
+  - these scheme operate in a similar manner as KPP (without ghat, of 
+    course), however there is only one diffusivity that is used for both
+    temperature and salinity (and passive tracers)ç
+o add offline package
+o add "verification/dic_example" which contains a dic-gchem-ptracer setup
+  provided by Stephanie Dutkiewicz
+o genmake2: add ability to search for C compilers and cleanup test output
+  - fixes recent SX-6 problems and should help with others (eg. HP-UX)
+
+checkpoint54d_post
+o data.diagnostics: if levels() is unspecified then ALL levels are diagnosed
+o bug fix in pkg/cal/cal_addtime.F for TheCalendar='model' day count is wrong, 
+  leading to additional shift by 5 days each year of integration
+   (i.e. leading to considerable offset over the years)
+o update global_ocean.cs32x15/thsice: use z* + RealFW + staggerTimeStep
+o start with no AB and no initial filtering (staggerTimeStep):
+  change the results of test-exp: hs94.128x64x5, hs94.1x64x5 & hs94.cs-32x32x5
+o move ocean specific S/R calls from forward_step.F to do_oceanic_phys.F
+  (external loading & cpl import/export stay in forward_step.F)
+o update coupling interface to work with new staggerTimeStep
+o change MDSIO ptracers_pickup.
+o fix a bug in Flux deriv. vs Ts (pkg/aim_v23/phy_suflux_sice.F);
+o genmake2 fixes so netcdf now works on halem ("osf1_alpha_*")
+o bugs fixed in kpp_calc.F (ustarY) and external_forcing.F (Qsw & Partial-cell)
+
+checkpoint54c_post
+o replace surfaceTendency U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr by surfaceForcing U,V,S,T,Tice,Ptr
+  this affects (truncation error) output.txt of test-exp:
+   global_ocean_ebm,_pressure,.cs32x15(&.thsice), lab_sea & natl_box
+o pkg/kpp: replace pMask by maskC to reduce memory size (one 3.D array)
+o change Qnet to always be the net heat flux, (+upward).
+  affects (truncation error) output of natl_box exp.: updated
+o define the max number of passive tracers in PTRACERS_SIZE.h
+o start to test mnc routinely in exp0
+o add sea-ice loading (sIceLoad) as a new forcing field.
+
+checkpoint54b_post
+o add testreport "-j JOBS" option for parallel builds (tested and pretty 
+   impressive on Altix and Opteron systems)
 o diagnostics can now write NetCDF files through the mnc package
 o staggerTimeStep & NLFS: update pkg aim_v23 & thsice; update aim.5l_cs output
 o staggerTimeStep & multi-Dim-Advec: Exch(U,V) added
