     Notes on tags used in MITgcmUV
     ==============================
 
+o change port_rand funtion to allow to set the seed.
+o fix obscure MNC bug involving conversion between reals and integers
+  - it caused no problems with certain (eg. gcc, ifc) compilers but the 
+    new version is now more standards-compliant
+
+checkpoint57e_post
+o Adding eddy stress controls a la Ferreira et al.
+checkpoint57e_pre
+
+o fizhi pkg: fix AtoC and CtoA when called with same input & output array
+  update output.txt of exp. fizhi-gridalt-hs
+o add more "Z" dimensions and associated coordinate vars to MNC
+o pkg/exf: added twoDigitYear capability for option useExfYearlyFields
+o parameter calendarDumps: when set, approximate months (30-31 days) and years
+  (360-372 days) for parameters chkPtFreq, pChkPtFreq, taveFreq, SEAICE_taveFreq,
+  KPP_taveFreq, and freq in pkg/diagnostics are converted to exact calendar
+  months and years.  Requires pkg/cal.
+o diagnostics: add pickup functionality
+  - off by default for backwards compatibility
+  - current version only uses MDSIO -- MNC will be added
+o allow to use pkg diagnostics for LAND pkg output & Shapiro Tendencies.
+o pkg/shap_filt: fix for multi-tiles per face (CS-grid with EXCH2)
+
+checkpoint57d_post
+o pkg/thsice used in the ocean: fix tile Pb related to sIceLoad forcing
+o modify verification/ideal_2D_oce so that it tests the creation of mnc 
+  output from the diagnostics package
+o temporary fix in EXCH2_UV: add a 3rd call to fix the 24.tiles CS-grid set-up
+o make genmake2 more portable by using ".$FS" instead of ".f" for more
+  of the test compilations (eg. IBM xlf on Mac OSX w/HFS filesys)
+o add coordinate variables to the MNC output from the diagnostics package
+o change MNC-flags default value: true when useMNC=TRUE
+o add a "readgrid_mnc" flag to MNC and give model/src/ini_curvilinear_grid.F
+  the ability (off by default) to read the grid information using MNC 
+o lab_sea: use LSR_ERROR=1.E-12 for testing ; update output.txt
+o diagnostics: fix a bug (sub-set of levels); keep full precision when averaging
+o do snap-shot diagnostics at the middle of the time-interval (instead of 
+  at the end).
+o update exp. aim.5l_cs (use default LAND_OPTIONS.h file) and add
+  new test for AIM with thSIce + slab-ocean
+o cpl_aim+ocn test: update output (optfile & default GMREDI_OPTIONS.h)
+o move state variable diagnostics to the beginning of the time step ;
+  (note: still needs some work specially for snap-shot diagnostics)
+  duplicate & replace UVELVVEL diagnostics with UV_VEL_C & UV_VEL_Z
+
+checkpoint57c_post
+o Change testing option (-ieee) to get closer agreement between g77 & ifort
+o generate new output.txt files on faulks with g77 & the new -ieee option
+checkpoint57c_pre
+
+o add "_d 0" in freeze ; change some "FLOAT" to "DFLOAT" and went back (TAF);
+  update output.txt of exp. global_ocean.90x40x15
+o fix in ini_eos.F (one "_d 0" was missing): now g77 & ifc give much closer 
+  results; update global_ocean_pressure & global_ocean.cs32x15 output.txt
+o add saltFlux(+File) forcing capability with periodicExternalForcing
+o allow to use pkg diagnostics for GM-Redi & ThSIce output
+o diagnostics_fill: fill in up to sNx+1 or sNy+1 (if U,V or Z pt) for mnc.
+o improvements for the MNC output from DIAGNOSTICS:
+  - correct handling of the unlimitied dimension
+  - all dims now have associated coordinate variables
+  - variables located at U, V, and Corner ("Z") points are now written
+    with the correct horzontal dimensions (eg. 'Xp1', 'Yp1') so that 
+    *all* data points are output
+o added seaice_summary.F and removed obsolete ALLOW_SEAICE's from pkg/seaice
+o added pkg/seaice/seaice_monitor.F
+o mdsio_readfield.F can now read files visible only to master MPI process.
 o pkg/seaice: some test code for ice-modified ocean stress
 o exf_getffields interpolation defaults to bilinear for all scalar forcing
   fields (remains bicubic for wind velocity and stress).  This avoids, e.g.,
   spurious negative numbers for precipitation and humidity.  Will cause
   some small numerical differences for integrations using pkg/exf/exf_interp.F.
+o pkg/ctrl/
+  * Add ctrlvec diagnostics in pack/unpack for nondimensional I/O
+    May be enabled via doPackDiag
+  *  introduce z-scaling of 
+     + gradient (doZscalePack) and 
+     + control (doZscaleUnpack)
+o pkg/mdsio/
+  * enable useSingleCpuIO for state estimation (ctrl_pack/unpack) mdsio_gl.F
+  * N.B.: leave tiled I/O for tapelev (i.e. mds...vector)
 
 checkpoint57b_post
 o simplify options in diagnostics_fill arguments (remove weird combinations)
