CICE6.6.1 is a minor update from CICE6.6.0 from November, 2024 and includes Icepack1.5.1.

This release has a few significant updates including the addition of a sea-level ponds option, addition of a semi-implicit coupling scheme as needed for NASA/GEOS, and support for a MOM supergrid file. It also has several bug fixes including a fix to the outgoing longwave calculation and a fix to the ponds implementation in Icepack. There are a few enhancements, mostly for history output and coupling. Finally, the zsalinity option has been officially deprecated in this version. Note that some new pond history field diagnostics have been added but these are not supported yet for the topo ponds option.
