ANNOUNCEMENT: WRF-Hydro v5.4.0 Released

We are pleased to announce the release of the WRF-Hydro Modeling System, version 5.4!
This was over a year in the making and has several new features and many small enhancements and bug fixes. In addition, this is the first release to use ReadTheDocs to host our updated and overhauled documentation, which is a major improvement. For more details, please see the README.md and NEWS.md files included with the model code.
- The source code is available here: https://github.com/NCAR/wrf_hydro_nwm_public
- The online documentation is here: https://wrf-hydro.readthedocs.io/en/
- Please cite this version using the DOI 10.5281/zenodo.15040873; see https://zenodo.org/records/15040873 for more information and a full citation
Also, please note that starting with WRF-Hydro v5.4, CMake (https://cmake.org) is the preferred build system. The legacy configure/compile scripts are still present, but should be considered deprecated and will not be supported in the future.
We'd like to extend a big "thank you” to our developers, partners, and users across the community and the world. You are the reason for our success!
WRF-Hydro Team, NSF NCAR
