Release v3.0.0 on 2026-05-28

Overview

Since release v2.1.7, main has advanced to the v3.0.0 development line. The most significant change is the merge of the GCM v12 codebase into main, along with supporting updates to physics, vertical levels, CI/build infrastructure, compiler compatibility, and MAPL integration.

Major changes

• Merged the GCM v12 codebase into main, establishing the basis for v3.0.0.
• Added a new radar reflectivity module (compute_radar_reflectivity.F90) and expanded calcdbz.F to better handle snow, graupel, hail, and liquid-skin behavior.
• Added L186 extended model top in m_set_eta.F90.
• Improved robustness in QSAT interpolation by adding bounds protection to saturation table indexing.
• Modernized source preprocessing by renaming selected files from .f/.f90 to .F/.F90.
• Updated CircleCI and GitHub Actions workflows to support the v12 integration path and newer tooling.
• Added compatibility fixes for Flang 22, Open MPI 5, and Intel ifx.
• Continued migration from older MAPL2-style usage to MAPL/MAPL3 interfaces.
