The R reader for Antares Simulator studies, pinned to whatever the simulator ships next

r-packageenergy-modelingapi-compatibilitybreaking-changessimulation
◆Current state
antaresRead loads Antares Simulator studies from disk or the Antares Web API into R. Its release history maps one-to-one onto simulator versions: 2.9.2 for Antares 9.2, 2.9.3 for 9.3, and the 3.0.x line for the study-format changes that followed. The recurring work is the converted study version format (9.0 becoming 900) which has now been fixed or re-fixed in three consecutive releases, and 3.1.0 turns that churn into a declared breaking change as Antares Web 2.33.0 introduces yet another numbering scheme.
◆Where it's heading
The package is a compatibility layer whose roadmap is set entirely upstream, and version identity is where it keeps getting cut. The same .getSimOptionsAPI() version-format fix appears in 3.0.0, 3.0.1 and again in 3.1.0 — three passes at one problem, which suggests the API and disk representations of a study version have not converged. Alongside that, API-mode work is displacing disk-mode work: dedicated endpoints for output listing, district definitions, per-area output handling.
◆Prediction
The next release will most likely track the following Antares Simulator or Antares Web version, and given the 3.1.0 breaking change, a follow-up correcting the new numbering scheme is a reasonable expectation.

    Breaking: new API study-version numbering from Antares Web 2.33.0

    Declares a breaking change as Antares Web 2.33.0 switches API-mode version numbering again, and adds a dedicated endpoint for listing study outputs. The third consecutive release to touch the study version format, which is now the package's most persistent source of churn.

    Reads the new MIN GEN thermal output variable from Antares 9.2

    Updates the variable mapping so the MIN GEN - MWh thermal output introduced in Antares 9.2 is readable, and repeats the converted version-format fix. Straightforward upstream tracking of the kind that drives most releases here.

    Fixes area output imports for Antares 9.3 studies

    A bugfix-only major version handling Antares 9.3 area outputs when column sets differ between areas, plus tolerance for missing district properties and case-insensitive date parsing. The version bump reflects the format break upstream rather than new capability here.

    Version bump for CRAN release

    A version bump cut solely to publish to CRAN, with no functional content. Packaging bookkeeping between the substantive 2.9.3 and 3.0.0 releases.

    Adds support for Antares Simulator 9.3 studies

    Extends reading to Antares Simulator 9.3, picking up new short-term storage properties and updated thematic trimming. The body defers detail to the upstream changelog, which is the standard shape of a version-tracking release in this package.

    Adds read_storages_constraints() for Antares 9.2 storage constraints

    Adds a new reader for short-term storage additional constraints alongside expanded cluster parameters and optional time series for Antares 9.2. A genuine addition to the read surface rather than a compatibility patch, which sets it apart from the releases that follow.
