MAPL 2.59.0

[mathomp4]

This release of MAPL has some fixes, the most important of which is a fix to stretched grid attributes in ExtData (note: not ExtData2G), see #3926. This mainly affects our GCHP colleagues.

This release also fixed issues with 0d string handling in pfio.

All tests with GEOSgcm show this to be zero-diff to MAPL 2.58

This version of MAPL was tested with:

• Intel Fortran Classic (ifort) 2021.6.0 and 2021.13
• Intel Fortran (ifx) 2025.0
• GCC 13.2.0 and 14.2.0
• NAG 7.2

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

• Baselibs 7.33.0
  • netcdf-c 4.9.2
  • netcdf-fortran 4.6.1
  • ESMF 8.8.1 (Note: MAPL only requires 8.6.1 at the moment)
  • GFE 1.16.0
    • gFTL 1.15.2
    • gFTL-shared 1.10.0
    • pFUnit 4.11.1 (optional)
    • fArgParse 1.9.0 (if -DBUILD_WITH_FARGPARSE=YES, default=YES)
    • pFlogger 1.16.1 (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 v3.62.1

We recommend most external users set -DUSE_F2PY=OFF

We also require CMake 3.24 or higher.
