 * '''Wind turbine model''' (PALM): A wind turbine model was implemented ([wiki:doc/tec/wtm details]).

 === Major changes: ===

+* '''Humidity vs scalar''': Humidity and scalar are now separated.
+
 * '''Multigrid solver''' (PALM): Optimized multi-grid pressure solver is implemented.
+
+* '''Non-cycle inflow''': major changes and improvements for non-cyclic turbulent inflow and turbulence recycling.
+
+* '''palmrungui''': the mrun GUI was re-designed in python and renamed to palmrungui.
+
+* '''Surface layer''': Three different methods are now available to calculate surface-layer scaling variables and fluxes. This basically involves the calculation of the Obukhov length. Three different methods are not available ("old" circular method, Newton interation, and look-up table) (wiki:doc/tec/bc details]).

 * '''Surface treatment''': 
+
 * '''Topography implementation''': Topography is now considered via flag arrays instead of 2D index arrays. Overhanging structures like bridges are now possible, i.e., the limitation of surface-mounted topography does not exist anymore. A topography filter was implemented that fills holes that consist of only one grid point [wiki:doc/tec/topography#topo details]).
