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_processfunction 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/processedsubfolder, 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 newenable_lra_adjustmentboolean parameter lets you skip the long-run-average wind-speed adjustment. When set toFalse, all LRA-related parameters have no effect (#287, resolves #214).
⚠️ API Changes
wind_configgains a requiredenable_lra_adjustmentargument. Existing code that callswind_configdirectly must pass this parameter (Truereproduces the previous behavior).
🧪 Tests, CI & Docs

download_and_processfunction and the updated manual-download notebook. - Updated Codecov
