 ------------------------------
 
-- Not 0-diff vs. v17.13.1 because of [snow model fixes](https://github.com/GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm_GridComp/pull/813).
+- 0-diff vs. v17.13.1 (except for MAPL bug fix ([PR #734](https://github.com/GEOS-ESM/GEOSldas/pull/734)))
 
 - Notes:
-  - Release is designated "beta" because a tag (SMAP_NRv11.1) is used for GEOSgcm_GridComp in components.yaml (awaiting official GEOSgcm_GridComp release that includes [non-0-diff snow model fixes](https://github.com/GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm_GridComp/pull/813)).
-  - Release uses original GEOSldas repository structure.  Final release is expected to use revised GEOSldas repository structure.
