+One-line Summary: Change history time to be the middle of the time bounds
+
+Purpose and description of changes
+----------------------------------
+
+ Making the change in order to be consistent with CAM and to make history output more intuitive.
+
+
+Significant changes to scientifically-supported configurations
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Does this tag change answers significantly for any of the following physics configurations?
+(Details of any changes will be given in the "Answer changes" section below.)
+
+    [Put an [X] in the box for any configuration with significant answer changes.]
+
+[ ] clm6_0
+
+[ ] clm5_1
+
+[ ] clm5_0
+
+[ ] ctsm5_0-nwp
+
+[ ] clm4_5
+
+
+Bugs fixed
+----------
+List of CTSM issues fixed (include CTSM Issue # and description) [one per line]:
+ Partly addresses issue #1059
+
+Notes of particular relevance for users
+---------------------------------------
+Caveats for users (e.g., need to interpolate initial conditions):
+ The history time variable now equals the middle of the time bounds.
+ Instantaneous history tapes now do not include time bounds.
+ Mixed history tapes do not change the treatment of instantaneous fields or move them to separate tapes, yet.
+
+
+Notes of particular relevance for developers:
+---------------------------------------------
+Caveats for developers (e.g., code that is duplicated that requires double maintenance):
+
+Changes to tests or testing:
+ This tag introduces changes to the mosart/rtm testlists.
+
+Testing summary:
+----------------
+
+ [PASS means all tests PASS; OK means tests PASS other than expected fails.]
+
+  python testing (if python code has changed; see instructions in python/README.md; document testing done):
+
+    derecho -
+
+  regular tests (aux_clm: https://github.com/ESCOMP/CTSM/wiki/System-Testing-Guide#pre-merge-system-testing):
+
+    derecho ----- OK
+    izumi ------- OK

+If the tag used for baseline comparisons was NOT the previous tag, note that here:
+
+
+Answer changes
+--------------
+
+Changes answers relative to baseline: Only time variable
+
+  Summarize any changes to answers, i.e.,
+    - what code configurations: all
+    - what platforms/compilers: all
+    - nature of change: only the time variable
