- Baseline topography is updated. Now it is based on MERIT Hydro (Yamazaki et al. 2019)
- FLOW upscaling algorithm is being updated (in prep)
- The model core dynamics is almost similar with the previsous version (v3.6). - More flexible code structure in model coupling.

Update in v3.96a

- Bug fix in test gosh script. Restart file name was not appropriately specified.
- Bug fix in ctrl_maps. Domain boundary judgement had aproblem.

Update in v3.96

- FLOW upscaling algorithm was largely revised.

Update in v3.95

- Significant change in model code structure for more flexible model coupling.

Update in v3.94

- Bug fix in floodplain elevation profile (removal of negative value in fldhgt & flddif)
- Source code structure was significantly modified for more flexible model couping.
- Sample scripts for "netCDF I/O" and "Forecast-like run with hourly input"
