**Release date: (Unreleased)**

#### Model enhancement:
23
+
24
+
1. Improved calculation of drainage between soil layers ([GH#656](https://github.com/UW-Hydro/VIC/pull/656))
25
+
26
+
Drainage from upper layer to adjacent lower layer is calculated according to Brook & Corey curve (where drainage rate is a function of upper-layer soil moisture). In previous versions, a simple numerical solution is applied which uses the timestep-beginning upper-layer soil moisture to calculate drainage rate, and assume this constant rate over the entire timestep. This can cause unreasonably large drainage if the curve has a steep shape and when soil moisture is high. Now, the current version uses exact integral (instead of numerical solution) for layer drainage calculation.

+
28
+
2. Fixes for the CESM driver ([GH#642](https://github.com/UW-Hydro/VIC/pull/642))
29
+
30
+
1. Using correct fill value datatypes in MPI Gather steps
31
+
2. Updated state file name time step to be period-ending rather than period-beginning
32
+
3. Set the state file name to the RASM case ID
33
+
4. Removed decimal point for missing values for unsigned integers
34
+
5. Create dummy forcings when initializing the model (so that there is forcing data for the first time step)
35
+
6. Changed pressure units from kPa to Pa
36
+
7. Fixed bug that prevented using the correct local domain grid cells in `cesm_put_data.c`
37
+
8. Changed reference temperature units from Celsius to Kelvin in `cesm_put_data.c`
