Version 3.08

Bug fixes:

• Fixed incorrect "FLEX_LIB_DIR" for gnu and intel compilers; this bad setting was causing chem-kpp builds to fail for these compilers on Yellowstone

New/updated tests:

• gwd_opt=1 has been added for several em_real tests (42, 42VN, 68, 68NE, 68VN, and global)

Version 3.07

Highlights:

• Reduced total test time (~11000 seconds to ~10000 seconds)
• Fixed bug for tests that are re-run after compilation failure
• New tests
  • WRFDA PGI tests
  • New tests for mp_physics=5 and 95

Bug fixes:

• Fixed problem where compilation failure will result in incorrectly-created run directories that will always fail

New/updated tests:

• WRFDA PGI tests (now that WRFDA works properly with PGI)
• WRFDA 4DVAR and WRFPLUS tests are simplified to run in a reasonable time with -d compile
• New em_real test (73): adds mp_physics=5 capability
• Change existing em_real test (57): adds mp_physics=95 capability
• Modified em_real test 12 and 12 GRIB to remove problematic Grell scheme combination, remove 36 all together

Enhancements:

• WRFPLUS and WRFDA compilations are now built with -d option; this reduces total test time by 20-30 minutes on average
• clean script now accepts "--name" argument so that you can clear all tests of a given name
• run_from_github.py uses new clean script functionality to clean old build of same name if prompted by the user
• Old result reports (from the same tar-file name) are now moved to Runs/RESULTS/old
• The "Data" directory now has a text file to track which WTF version it works with; WTF will fail if the file is wrong or does not exist

Other updates:

• Namelist option reporting script now checks real8 options, deletes temporary files
• Properly link double-precision data tables where necessary; this allows the above-mentioned RRTM REAL8 tests to work
• REAL8 is no longer specifiable in .wtf files; it was causing trouble, and now we have specific real8 tests so this capability is pretty much obsolete

Version 3.06

Bug Fixes:

• In run_from_github.py
  • Fix error in check for Data directory
  • Fix usage statement typo
  • Fix command-line specification behavior
• Fix failures due to non-existent nmm_nest PBL namelist option

Version 3.05

Updates

• Some cu_physics schemes have changed their numbering schemes; this required updating some NMM namelists
• Check to see if Data/ directory exists; exit if missing
• In run_from_github.py
  • Now checks for existing tar files and warns user that all tests will be run
  • Checks to see if script will overwrite an existing tar file, makes user confirm they want to overwrite

Version 3.04

Bug fixes:

• In run_from_github.py
  • fixed issue where whitespace in the url or branch caused problems with the tar file name
  • fixed problem with default url
• In clean
  • Corrected problem with name collisions between runs and builds

Other updates:

• Update README which was badly out of date
• Allow command-line arguments for --url and --branch
• Add a "usage" function

Version 3.03

Critical fixes in this release:

• Some bug fixes in the real program (wrf-model/WRF#28) mean that existing namelists for vertical refinement cases are incorrect, and these cases will fail. These namelists have been corrected in this release.

New features in this release:

• New python script "run_from_github.py" to run the WTF straight from github.
• New python script "clean" for cleaning old/failed builds. Functions the same as the old scripts/clean script except it is in python and fixes some bugs in the old script

Other changes:

• The "tarFiles_WRF" directory has been renamed "tarballs". You can always change the directory name if you like, provided you modify the proper lines in the .wtf test files

Version 3.02

New features in this release:

• New python script "run_from_github.py" to run WTF straight from github.
• New python script "clean" for cleaning old/failed builds. Functions the same as the old scripts/clean script except it is in python and fixes some bugs in the old script

Version 3.01

The first release of the WRF Testing Framework on Github!
