Changes in version 1.8.1.9000                      

  - Removed tests/Rcheck_reference.log, which was used to ignore
    historic check messages that have now been fixed.

                        Changes in version 1.8.1                        

  - model2netcdf.FATES no longer writes separate <year>.nc.var files for

    these as needed.
