This release standardizes all inputs and outputs as .csv files. Most data formerly read from .tab or .dat files is now read from .csv files (Switch will automatically upgrade these the first time you run a model with the new version). All outputs are also now created as .csv files. It is recommended that you update your model data preparation and analysis scripts to create or read .csv files. Note that non-indexed parameters should now be stored in .csv files with a header row listing the parameter names and a single data row showing their values.

The two exceptions are the total_cost.txt output file and gen_multiple_fuels.dat, which remain unchanged. (Note that gen_multiple_fuels.dat will likely be factored out in the next release.)

This release also includes includes the following minor updates:

  • Updated installation instructions
  • Switch version number and website are now shown in the startup banner when
    running with --verbose flag; solve messages have also been improved slightly
  • Minor bugs have been fixed in example files

Please see CHANGELOG.md or the github repository for a complete list of changes.

This release is recommended for all users. Please see INSTALL.md for complete installation instructions.
