They can also indicate if they want the messages displayed in the terminal as well, under Run:Terminal. The default is `TRUE`.

- The `qmap` calibration method has changed with the new version of CST_QuantileMapping().
- The order of the parameters of the input functions has changed.
- `archive` is no longer a mandatory parameter.
- More informative error message when experiment and reference grids do not match.
- Success messages, loading summaries and warnings are now written to the log file.
