This release comes with a special improvement for weather forecast, we are replacing the scrapper method with a new method using the Open-Meteo API: https://open-meteo.com/
This API provides high resolution forecasts at 15min intervals for any location in the world.
A big improvement to obtain accurate PV production forecasts.
