Monthly Newsletters - March 2022

Upcoming release, planned mid-March

What has changed?

The TGLF, GLF23, and NEO namelists have been separated from TRANSP namelist into separate namelists

MMM namelist name change to be consistent with all other namelists

What changes for users?

The variables specific to TGLF, NEO, GLF23 and MMM should no longer be indicated in the TRANSP TRDAT namelist. Users need to define in their TRDAT namelist the path to a template that TRANSP can use. Instructions can be found here.

NOTE: TRANSP Responsible Officers are testing these features and working on generating new templates, as needed. As soon as they give us a thumbs-up, we will release the new version of pshare and broadcast a message.

Deprecated Variables

IMPORTANT - We are actively working on cleaning up the code. As you are aware of, several modules - since long deprecated from TRANSP - have been removed from distribution. However, to avoid disruption to users, deprecated namelist variables were added to a special file that is checked against the TRDAT namelist. A script would then comment out those variables. Unless the user reads the log file from TRDAT for messages that a deprecated variable has been commented out, they would not even notice. For transparency, we are removing this special file. This means that - if your namelist contains any of those deprecated variables - TRDAT is going to fail.

A complete list of these variables is available on the website here and a link to download a text version can be found on the NEWS page that links to this page. The list will also be available for download on TRANSPHub. We recommend that you cross-check your namelist for any variable that belongs to this list, to minimize disruption when this release is put in production (expected around early April 2022).
