+Date: Mon Jun 2 11:39:50 MDT 2025
+One-line Summary: CDEPS: Allow anomaly forcings with any DATM
+
+Purpose and description of changes
+----------------------------------
+
+Updates CDEPS to version cdeps1.0.75, allowing anomaly forcings with any datm_mode. CRU-JRA thus now works with anomalies.
+
+Also brings in cdeps1.0.74: "In DATM with cplhist mode, make 1st timestep same as cam7 when using the cam7 option."
+
+
+
+Significant changes to scientifically-supported configurations
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Does this tag change answers significantly for any of the following physics configurations?
+(Details of any changes will be given in the "Answer changes" section below.)
+
+ [Put an [X] in the box for any configuration with significant answer changes.]
+
+[ ] clm6_0
+
+[ ] clm5_0
+
+[ ] ctsm5_0-nwp
+
+[ ] clm4_5
+
+
+Bugs fixed
+----------
+
+List of CTSM issues fixed (include CTSM Issue # and description):
+- [Issue #3209: [CDEPS] Allow anomaly forcings with any datm](https://github.com/ESCOMP/CTSM/issues/3209)
+
+
+Testing summary:
+----------------
+
+ regular tests (aux_clm: https://github.com/ESCOMP/CTSM/wiki/System-Testing-Guide#pre-merge-system-testing):
+
+ derecho ----- OK
+ izumi ------- OK
+
+ ctsm_sci (just three tests that were failing before)
+ derecho ---- PASS
+
+
+Answer changes
+--------------
+
+Changes answers relative to baseline: Yes (although not in tests)
+
+ Summarize any changes to answers, i.e.,
+ - what code configurations: CPLHIST
+ - what platforms/compilers: All
+ - nature of change (roundoff; larger than roundoff/same climate; new climate): Roundoff
+
+ Only affects first timestep under lnd_tuning_mode clm6_0_cam7.0.
+
+
+Other details
+-------------
+
+List any git submodules updated (cime, rtm, mosart, cism, fates, etc.):
+- cdeps updated from cdeps1.0.73 to cdeps1.0.75
