updating the rma_trunk copy of the CHANGELOG for the
upcoming push to manhattan.  there are still matlab
script changes which will be added to the rma_trunk
before the merge and commit.

 - Important performance fix if model does vertical conversion for localization.
-Results were not wrong but performance was poor if 'distribute_mean = .true.'
-was selected in the &assim_tools_nml namelist.
-Now distributing the mean runs in close to the non-distributed time and uses
-much less memory for large models. This only impacts models which do a vertical
-conversion of either the observation or state vertical coordinate for localization
-AND which set &assim_tools_nml :: distribute_mean = .true. to use less memory.
-When using a distributed mean "convert_all_obs_verticals_first = .true." should
-be set.  If your observations will impact most of the model state, then
-"convert_all_state_verticals_first = .true.' can also be set.

-+ Aug 31 2018 :: WRF Polar, CICE, obs_diag files               Revision: 12807
++ Apr 24 2019 :: cam-fv refactor, posteriors optional, QC 8   $Revision$
 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
+- The CAM Finite Volume (cam-fv)  model_mod.f90 has undergone substantial 
+  refactoring to improve simplicity and remove code for unsupported CAM variants
+  while also supporting WACCM and WACCM-X.  Namelist changes will be required.
+
+- CAM-FV setup and scripting support added for CESM 2.1, including advanced
+  archiving and compression
+
 - fix for WRF's wind direction vectors when using the Polar Stereographic 
   map projection.  Thanks to Kevin Manning for the fix.
 
-- removed 'allow_missing_in_clm' flag from the &assim_tools_nml namelist in
-  the CICE work directory.  The flag moved to a different namelist and the
-  CICE model doesn't care about it.
+- Add filter namelist option to avoid calling the posterior forward operators 
+  and to not create those copies in the obs_seq.final file.
 
-- increased the maximum number of input files to obs_diag from 100 to 10000.
+- Use less memory if writing ensemble member values into the obs_seq.final file.
 
-- Yongfei Zhang and Cecilia Bitz added improvements to the CICE model and 
-  observation converters and forward operators. These changes also use the
-  locations of the 'new' glade filesystem. They used CESM tag: cesm2_0_alpha06n
+- added a DART QC of 8 for failed vertical conversions
 
-- Worked with Yongfei Zhang to remove prototype codes and more completely
-  document observation converters and data sources for cice assimilation.
+- updated Matlab scripts support QC=8 and no posterior in obs sequence files.
 
-- Default routines now create a time variable as time(time) to allow multiple
-  files to be concatinated along the unlimited dimension more easily.  Also
-  conforms to the netCDF convention for coordinate dimensions.
+- sampling error correction table now has all ensemble sizes between 3 and 200

-+ Nov 01 2018 :: Adaptive Inflation, dewpoint, obs_diag        Revision: 13006
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+- closest_member_tool should be compiled with other MPI targets
 
-- Updated dewpoint equation to avoid dividing by zero given a very unlikely
-  scenario (r12832)
-
-- More efficient implementation of adaptive inflation 
-
-- Removed test files from cice
-
-- Updated the developer_tests to include more cases.
-
-- Updated oned/obs_diag.f90 to support 'obs_seq.out' files.
-
-- Better error and informational messages in various routines.

-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-- The CAM Finite Volume (cam-fv)  model_mod.f90 has undergone substantial 
-  refactoring to improve simplicity and remove code for unsupported CAM variants
-  while also supporting WACCM and WACCM-X
-
-- cam-fv setup and scripting support added for CESM 2_1, including advanced
-  archiving and compression
-
 - COSMIC_ELECTRON_DENSITY has been moved from obs_def_gps_mod.f90 to 
   obs_def_upper_atm_mod.f90, which has new quantities for 
   ION_O_MIXING_RATIO and ATOMIC_H_MIXING_RATIO
 
-- Namelist option to select whether or not to compute posterior estimates of
-  observations
-
