What's new?
Version 5.0.6 brings a few bug-fixes that only affect ncremap and
ncclimo users. Others can skip 5.0.6.

Work on NCO 5.0.7 has commenced and will improve ncremap support
for mbtempest, incorporate new mbtempest improvements, and further
improve support for quantization/compression algorithms.

Enjoy,
Charlie

NEW FEATURES (full details always in ChangeLog):

A. None

BUG FIXES:

A. ncclimo and ncremap provided by the E3SM-Unified on login nodes
(i.e., Conda, by Spack as on compute nodes) were unable to find
any Conda binaries when invoked within scripts (i.e., not
interactively from the command line) in corner case situations.
The solution is to avoid corner cases. Just kidding.
The solution is to upgrade. Thanks to Wuyin Lin for reporting this.

B. ncremap 5.0.5 sometimes overwrote user-specified values of sgs_frc
that were passed from ncclimo. This prevented ncremap from working
with sgs_frc variables in external files. The workaround is to run
ncremap separately from ncclimo. The solution is to upgrade.

C. ncclimo sometimes invoked the Bash basename() intrinsic on
non-existent arrays. This was annoying though non-fatal. Fixed.

D. ncclimo in timeseries mode would warn users to provide caseid
or fml_nm even though it did not need them. Fixed.
Thanks to Jill Zhang for reporting.
