Notably:

## Fixed in this release update

✅ Regional Ancillary Suite: queue settings have been fixed  
✅ Regional Nesting Suite: automated house-keeping of driving data

Any testing of the netCDF output and the changes made above would be welcome.  
What should be observed:

- The RAS should run **much** quicker. At the very least the runtime should be more consistent. Previously it was using HUGEMEM queues, which can often suffer very long wait times.
- The RNS should use a lot less disk space in total, and not increase with overall run length. @mlipson noted above the driving data should be capped at 30GB, but we have not independently verified this figure yet.
