The first release of compass (Configuration Of Model for Prediction Across Scales Setups). compass is a python package and a set of associate tools that provides an automated system to set up test cases for Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) components. Currently, compass includes tests for the MPAS-Ocean and MALI (MPAS-Albany Land Ice) models.

The specific pull requests are too numerous to list.
