+For nested runs, all versions posterior to \ttt{r1027} are broken. However, the interface between the WRF dynamical core and the LMD physical parameterizations has been significantly improved in \ttt{r1243}, which fixes nesting runs and simplifies restart runs. Those improvements remain to be extensively tested more extensively, but getting an operational model with nesting and restart runs will only require now minor adjustments that will be committed in subsequent revisions of the model.
