v0.11.2

Frequenz Dispatch Client Library Release Notes

Summary

This release updates the frequenz-api-dispatch dependency to v1.0.0-rc3 and adapts the client to the latest API changes. It introduces more specific component categories and new event names while maintaining backward compatibility.

Upgrading

• InverterType.SOLAR is now deprecated in favor of InverterType.PV. The old name can still be used but will be removed in a future release.
• The following dependencies were updated:
  • frequenz-api-dispatch to v1.0.0-rc3
  • frequenz-client-common to v0.3.6
  • grpcio to v1.72.1

New Features

• ElectricalComponentCategory: The client now uses the more specific frequenz.client.common.microgrid.electrical_components.ElectricalComponentCategory for targeting components.
  • The new property TargetCategory.category2 will return an ElectricalComponentCategory.
  • The existing TargetCategory.category property is preserved for backward compatibility and returns the corresponding ComponentCategory.
• Support secrets for signing and verifying messages.
  • Use the new env variable DISPATCH_API_SIGN_SECRET to set the secret key.
  • Use the new sign_secret parameter in the DispatchClient constructor to set the secret key.
• Added auth_key parameter to the dispatch-cli and the new variable DISPATCH_API_AUTH_KEY to set the authentication key for the Dispatch API.
