Nightly development build for MODFLOW 6 binaries.
The develop branch of the MODFLOW 6 repository contains bug fixes and new functionality that may be incorporated into the next approved MODFLOW 6 release. Each night, Fortran source code from the development branch is compiled on windows-2022, macos-12, and ubuntu-22.04 runner images using Intel Fortran. The binary executables released here are release candidates for the next approved version of MODFLOW 6 but are considered preliminary or provisional.
The nightly builds are available as operating-system specific release assets (win64.zip, mac.zip, and linux.zip). The distribution includes:
- mf6[.exe]: MODFLOW 6
- mf5to6[.exe]: the MODFLOW 5 to 6 converter
- zbud6[.exe]: the zone budget utility for MODFLOW 6)
- libmf6[.dll/so/dylib]: a dynamic-linked library or shared object version of MODFLOW 6
- code.json: a JSON file containing version information and other metadata
Each release also includes a copy of the 'MODFLOW 6 – Description of Input and Output' document (mf6io.pdf) for the latest MODFLOW 6 release candidate.
Release tags are based on the date, with format YYYYMMDD. Nightly builds are retained for 30 days in the event that there are issues with the latest release candidate.
Any issues with the nightly build should be posted on the main MODFLOW 6 GitHub repo and flagged with the nightly build label.
