 - **default.cfg** input data upgraded from rev4.117 to rev4.118, default for bioenergy demand and GHG prices changed from R32M46 to R34M410, `rcp4p5` used for SSP2-NPi2025 in line with MAGICC climate outcome and REMIND assumptions.
 - **default.cfg** changed running magpie by default with optfile for specified solver settings (Tol_Optimality)
 - **script/start/test_runs.R** Test runs adjusted based on availability from coupled runs for R34M410. 
+- **scenario_config.csv** SSP2 food system assumptions for ScenarioMIP VLLO to avoid sudden jump of calorie intake after 2025
+- **scripts** request 24h for SLURM jobs (except for medium which still requests 7 days)
+- **scripts** disaggregation.R moved disaggregateLandConservation function to magpie4
 
 ### added
 - **default.cfg** added option to set Tol_Optimality (GAMS solver setting) to a certain value (GAMS-default 1e-7, new MAgPIE-default 1e-8)

 ### fixed
 - **18_residues** fixed equation for cluster level production of crop residues in flexreg_apr16 realization
+- **44_biodiversity** expanded age-classes from 150 to 300 years in line with `ac` set. This bugfix is crucial for the BII indicator.
