Comparison of the files

The differences in the fire module files between the submitted version and the release can be seen in this comparison.

How was the comparison obtained

To track the files, branch WRF_release_3.3 was created in our repository, starting from the files as submitted. One bug fix was applied, giving the final version submitted for the WRF release. We have then copied over separately the fire module files from the WRF 3.3 release at http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/src/WRFV3.3.TAR.gz, giving the comparison of the fire module files above. Finally, the rest of the files in the WRF release was copied over in order to get the final files in the release.
