FZJ-IEK3-VSA/RESKit: v0.5.0
Abstract
RESKit v0.5.0 Release Notes Release Date: July 10, 2026 Previous Version: v0.4.4 (June 25, 2026) ✨ New Features & Workflows ERA5 weather-data preparation pipeline: A new download_and_process function that downloads, processes, and tiles all ERA5 variables required by a given workflow in a single call. It is source-agnostic, supports both wind and solar workflows, accepts lists of workflows, stores processed variables in a dedicated /processed subfolder, and is robust to tiles crossing the antimeridian. New example notebooks cover ERA5 wind/solar preparation and manual downloads (#277, resolves #155). Optional long-run-average adjustment in wind_config: A new enable_lra_adjustment boolean parameter lets you skip the long-run-average wind-speed adjustment. When set to False, all LRA-related parameters have no effect (#287, resolves #214). ⚠️ API Changes wind_config gains a required enable_lra_adjustment argument. Existing code that calls wind_config directly must pass this parameter (True reproduces the previous behavior). 🧪 Tests, CI & Docs README updated to document the new download_and_process function and the updated manual-download notebook. Updated Codecov require_changes configuration (#289). 📦 Dependency Updates pvlib minimum raised to ≥0.10.0 (from 0.9.0, range >=0.10.0,
