[0.1.3] 2025-11-20

[ADDED] Solar thermal model
[ADDED] PV model
[ADDED] Rankine cycle CHP model
[ADDED] Converter controller: for converting generic to fluid mix mapping as a functionality addition
[FIXED] Supervisor controller
[ADDED] Option to rerun time step with run_timeseries
[ADDED] BHP parameters adapted and updated tutorials
[ADDED] NetworkCoupling controller: Can be used to create a coupling between a prosumer and a pandapipes or pandapower network and a tutorial demonstrating building an energy system that couples multiple networks

[ADDED] Supervisor controller: allows dynamic attribute control based on input conditions and logical rules.
[ADDED] SupervisorData class: handles input structure for the supervisor controller.
[ADDED] Rule class: defines single-condition logic to modify prosumer attributes.
[ADDED] CombiningRules class: supports logical combination (AND/OR) of multiple Rule instances.
[DOCS] Added detailed documentation and usage examples for the supervisor.

[ADDED] ConstProfileController now supports automatic period detection from the DataFrame via a period column if no period is explicitly set.
[CHANGED] Improved period handling logic to reduce user configuration burden and improve flexibility.
[UPDATED] Tests and tutorials to reflect the new behavior in period detection and ensure compatibility with updated controller logic.
[FIXED] Runtime Warning due to negative value inside np.log
[CHANGED] merged duplicate code from dry cooler and heat exchanger

[ADDED] check_levels function: ensures that all controllers in a prosumer have the same execution level (with exceptions for ConstProfile and pandapower/pandapipes).
[ADDED] check_controllers_orders function: validates that initiator controllers execute before responder controllers, based on level and order attributes.
[ADDED] check_mappings_orders function: checks that controller mapping orders are continuous and start from zero.
[ADDED] check_order argument to the prosumer constructor: allows enabling or disabling all order validation mechanisms.
[UPDATED] Tests and tutorials to comply with new order checking mechanisms (minor fixes for compatibility).
[FIXED] Incorrect reference to “pandapipes” in CONTRIBUTING.rst now correctly mentions “pandaprosumer”.
[CHANGED] Unit correction in dry_cooler.rst documentation.
[ADDED] q_exchanged_kw in Heat Exchanger result columns.

[FIXED] ice chp documentation
[FIXED] period handling in documentation
[FIXED] compatible python version in pyproject.toml
[CHANGED] directory of tests folder - so standard installation does not install tests
[ADDED] Contributing.rst - contribution guidelines
