+One-line Summary: Rpointer files for restart now have the simulation timestamp in the filename
+
+Purpose and description of changes
+----------------------------------
+
+Add the simulation timestamp to the rpointer files. Also update submodules with this change
+in CMEPS and CDEPS as well as updated cime to handle it.
+
+Add a "clm" level directory under usermods_dirs so that the component where user-mods reside
+is declared and to make them function the same as test-mods.
+
+
+Significant changes to scientifically-supported configurations

+
+Does this tag change answers significantly for any of the following physics configurations?
