MAPL 2.70.0

This release of MAPL v2 has a couple fixes.

First, it updates ExtData better support machines where not all files might be found. That is, if a user was running in the year 2000, but the beginning valid_range was in 1998, before ExtData would fail if a 1998 file was not found.

Second, this fixes a bug that prevented R8 exports being written as R4 output in History.

All tests show this is zero-diff compared to MAPL 2.69 for GEOSgcm

---

This version of MAPL was tested with:

• Intel Fortran Classic (ifort) 2021.13
• Intel Fortran (ifx) 2025.3
• GCC 14.2.0 and 15.2.0
• NAG 7.2
• Flang 22.1

The libraries this version of MAPL is currently tested with are below.

• Baselibs 8.27.0
  • netcdf-c 4.9.2
  • netcdf-fortran 4.6.1
  • ESMF 9.0.0b10 (Note: MAPL only requires 8.6.1 at the moment)
  • GFE 1.23.0
    • gFTL 1.17.0
    • gFTL-shared 1.12.0
    • pFUnit 4.16.0 (optional)
    • fArgParse 1.10.0 (if -DBUILD_WITH_FARGPARSE=YES, default=YES)
    • pFlogger 1.18.0 (if -DBUILD_WITH_PFLOGGER=YES, default=YES)
  • UDUNITS2 2.28.8

Also, if you build with Baselibs and/or -DUSE_F2PY=ON, you should use (at least):

• ESMA_cmake v4.40.0

We recommend most external users set -DUSE_F2PY=OFF

We also require CMake 3.24 or higher.
