Zero length

This catches situations where a cache file on reload is found to be zero length. These files are now deleted automatically, and the integration should complete startup successfully, but probably using more API calls than normal (which will almost certainly cause API quota exhaustion issues if a zero length cache is encountered).

If the file noted is solcast.json then this will be the case, and forecast history will be gone.

Restore this file from backup (if you have it) then reload, or decide to move on as is, with history lost.

Report instances of this occuring in a discussion (we would like to hear about it happening, and explore the reason why), but please do not raise a code issue if it occurs. It was an issue for your install, which now automatically gets fixed; the integration cannot read a zero-length cache.

Add granular dampening delta adjustment

If doing roll-your-own granular dampening, then the same log/exp dampening adjustments can be applied to your factors too. You need to be acquiring estimated actuals for this to work.

Advanced option rename, deprecation, error situations

Some advanced options have been renamed, and these are flagged in issues raised in HA.

When format/option issues occurred in the past the logs needed to be viewed to work out what had gone wrong. These issues are now called out instantly using Home Assistant issues raised in the GUI.
