Overview
The 8.8.1 release of ESMF is a patch release to the previously released 8.8.0. Please see the release notes below for a description of the changes.
Release Notes
- This patch release is backward compatible with ESMF 8.8.0. There were no API changes in this release.
- No bit-for-bit changes are expected for this release compared to ESMF 8.8.0.
- No changes were made to the ESMF regrid weight generation methods and applications. The ESMF tables summarizing the ESMF regridding status are unchanged.
- Fixed the ESMPy version string to avoid a VersionWarning in some contexts.
- Updated the internal version of the ParallelIO library (used when building with ESMF_PIO=internal) from version 2.6.2 to version 2.6.6, fixing a number of issues. Bug fixes most relevant to ESMF are:
- A fix needed for recent versions of NetCDF (4.9.3 or later) to avoid build errors with undeclared use of “_FillValue”
- A fix needed for CMake version 4
- Fixed an issue in ESMF_FieldEmptyComplete(). Previously, if the user specified a typekind and a replicated dimension (i.e. gridToFieldMap[i]=0 for some i), the method incorrectly returned with an error. Now the method completes successfully.
Known Issues
- Same as 8.8.0.
