 - Added support for `__round__` (`round(quantity)`), `__pos__` (`+quantity`) and `__mod__` (`quantity % quantity`) operators.
 - Add `ReactivePower` quantity.
 - Add `ApparentPower` quantity.

 This library provides the following types:

 - [Current][frequenz.quantities.Current]: A quantity representing an electric current.
 - [Energy][frequenz.quantities.Energy]: A quantity representing energy.
 - [Frequency][frequenz.quantities.Frequency]: A quantity representing frequency.
 - [Percentage][frequenz.quantities.Percentage]: A quantity representing a percentage.
 - [Power][frequenz.quantities.Power]: A quantity representing power.
+- [ReactivePower][frequenz.quantities.ReactivePower]: A quantity representing reactive
+  power.
 - [Temperature][frequenz.quantities.Temperature]: A quantity representing temperature.
 - [Voltage][frequenz.quantities.Voltage]: A quantity representing electric voltage.
 
-Additionally, for each of those types, there is a corresponding marshmallow

 There is also the unitless [Quantity][frequenz.quantities.Quantity] class. All
 quantities are subclasses of this class and it can be used as a base to create new
 quantities. Using the `Quantity` class directly is discouraged, as it doesn't provide
