 - Free-carrier absorption (FCA) and free-carrier plasma dispersion (FCPD) nonlinearities inside `TwoPhotonAbsorption` class.
 - `log_path` argument in `set_logging_file`, set to `False` by default.
 - `ErosionDilationPenalty` to `tidy3d.plugins.adjoint.utils.penalty` to penalize parameter arrays that change under erosion and dilation. This is a simple and effective way to penalize features that violate minimum feature size or radius of curvature fabrication constraints in topology optimization.

-### Changed
-- `DataArray.to_hdf5()` accepts both file handles and file paths.
-- `ModeSolverMonitor` is deprecated. Mode field profiles can be retrieved directly from `ModeMonitor` with `store_fields_direction` set.
-- The log file for a simulation run has been modified to include more information including warnings collected during execution.
-
-### Fixed
-- Add dispersion information to dataframe output when available from mode solver under the column "dispersion (ps/(nm km))".
-- Skip adjoint source for diffraction amplitudes of NaN.
-- Helpful error message if `val` supplied to `SimulationData.plot_field` not supported.
-- Fixed validator that warns if angled plane wave does not match simulation boundaries, which was not warning for periodic boundaries.
-- Validates that no nans are present in `DataArray` values in custom components.
-- Removed nans from Cartesian temperature monitors in thermal simulations by using nearest neighbor interpolation for values outside of heat simulation domain.

-## [2.6.0rc1] - 2024-01-11

-### Added
 - `tidy3d.plugins.design` tool to explore user-defined design spaces.
 - `ModeData.dispersion` and `ModeSolverData.dispersion` are calculated together with the group index.
 - A utility function `td.medium_from_nk()` that automatically constructs a non-dispersive medium when permittivity>=1, and a single-pole Lorentz medium when permittivity<1.
 - Integration of the `documentation` alongside the main codebase repository.
 - Integration of the `tidy3d-notebooks` repository.
 - `tidy3d develop` CLI and development guide on the main documentation.
 - Added a convenience method `Simulation.subsection()` to a create a new simulation based on a subregion of another one.

+- Users can toggle task caching through `from tidy3d.web.core.environment import Env` and `Env.enable_caching(True)` to enable, `Env.enable_caching(False)` to disable, or `Env.enable_caching(None)` to use global setting from web client account page.
