 * '''LES-LES self-nesting''' (PALM-4U): Multi-stage LES-LES nesting is realized for most quantities (except chemistry) ([wiki:doc/tec/nesting details]). Also, two different 1D vertical nesting schemes are available.

 * '''Spin-up''' (PALM-4U): A spin-up mechanism is available for running land surface model, urban surface model and radiation scheme independently from atmosphere to generate steady-state soil and wall temperatures for initialization.

 * '''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''': Surface elements are not arranged in a 1D structure and a Fortran derived data type. This applied to default, land surface and urban surface elements.

 * '''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]).
