-The new 4.0.beta release of NEMO is now available for beta testing. The offical 4.0 release is scheduled for end 2018. The users and projects willing to make preliminary tests and contribute to the reliability of the future 4.0 release are very welcome to start testing this new version. This page gathers all the information needed for a quick start, and all feedbacks are welcome, see below.

          * vorticity: 2 new energy conserving scheme:  ENT with Coriolis defined at T-point (better for Flux form) and EET a variant of EEN where e3t is used instead of e3f (solved the issue with e3f specification but is not enstrophy conserving)
-     * SIMPLIFICATION
-         * revised structure of namlist_ref/_cfg and default reference values.
-         * lateral physics (LDF): simplification of user interface and removal of CPP keys
