 The model is suitable both for operational studies and generation and transmission expansion planning studies. The continental scope and highly resolved spatial scale enables a proper description of the long-range smoothing effects for renewable power generation and their varying resource availability.

 * Pre-commit CI is now part of the repository's CI.
-* The heuristic distribution of today's renewable installations is now enable per default.
-* Marginal costs of conventional generators are now taking the plant-specific efficiency into account.
+
+* The software now supports running the workflow with different settings within
+  the same directory. A new config section ``run`` was created that specifies
+  under which scenario ``name`` the created resources, networks and results
+  should be stored. If ``name`` is not specified, the workflow uses the default
+  paths. The entry ``shared_cutouts`` specifies whether the run should use
+  cutouts from the default root directory or use run-specific cutouts.
