Mar 1, 2026

March 2026: Delivered critical robustness and build stability improvements for FABM in schism-dev/schism. Implemented a group of fixes addressing runtime stability and build reliability across platforms. Highlights include safe defaults for non-negative variables, guarding vertical loops against zero kbe, and corrected macro handling for _FABM_MASK_TYPE_ to balance preprocessor directives. These changes reduce crash risk, stabilize CI pipelines, and improve maintainability, enabling smoother development and deployment cycles.

Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 monthly summary focusing on the SCHISM workstream. The primary delivery was the unstructured grid output handling (iof_ugrid) feature for SCHISM, enabling robust, CF-compliant data exports and improved metadata management. The work aligns with business goals of interoperability, data quality, and downstream usability for users analyzing SCHISM outputs.

Aug 1, 2025

August 2025 highlights: Build-system enhancements focused on Intel toolchain readiness and GOTM integration. Fixed GOTM build discovery to correctly locate and include GOTM sources in CMake. Introduced a strand@hereon specific CMake configuration to streamline builds for the Intel toolchain, including compiler paths, naming conventions, release flags for Fortran and C, and NetCDF integration. These changes improve build reliability, cross-environment portability, and CI stability, accelerating feature delivery and reducing integration risk.

July 2025 — Schism: Stabilized FABM masking by introducing a macro guard that activates FABM masking only when _FABM_MASK_TYPE_ is defined, resolving a long-standing undefined _HAS_MASK_ macro error. This reduces compile-time failures and improves cross-configuration builds for schism.

May 1, 2025

May 2025 monthly work summary for schism-dev/schism. Focused on portability and integration improvements for FABM environments. Delivered SCHISM-FABM portability and include path alignment feature, with conditional compilation of HAS_MASK and corrected placement of the SCHISM driver file within include directories. No major bugs fixed this month. The changes reduce build failures, improve cross-environment compatibility, and accelerate adoption for legacy FABM setups, enhancing deployment reliability and maintainability. Technologies demonstrated include C/C++ conditional compilation, include path management, cross-platform portability strategies, and version-controlled change tracing.

Apr 1, 2025

Delivered a targeted portability fix to ensure FABM library linkage on lib64-based systems, improving cross-platform build reliability for schism. The change stabilizes builds where FABM is installed in a lib64 directory, reducing install-time errors and streamlining deployment across Linux distributions.
