+# Changelog
+
+Notable changes to `isp-workbook-parser`, for people using the package
+(new workbook versions, renamed/removed/added tables, and new or changed public config/API)
+
+## [2.9.0] - 2026-09-15
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for IASR workbook version 7.8 (final 2026 ISP workbook).
+    - Includes new "Hybrid site limits" sheet and 7 new tables.
+    - More details of workbook changes here:
+  [workbook_content_changes_7.8.md](https://github.com/Open-ISP/project-planning/blob/main/ISP2026/workbook_content_changes_7.8.md).
+- `skip_checks` table config option: Allows you to opt a specific table out from specific validation checks, (rather than disabling all checks for it).
+
+### Changed / Fixed
+
+- **Table renames** (impacts version 7.8 of the workbook, as well as 7.3/7.5 retrospectivelly).
+  - `*_reduced_energy_efficiency` → `*_lower_energy_efficiency`
+  - `flow_path_augmentation_cost_slower_growth_CNSW-NNSW` →
+    `flow_path_augmentation_costs_slower_growth_CNSW-NNSW`
+  - Two clashing table names resolved (one of tables was previously being shadowed/ignored):
+    - `water_for_hydrogen` →
+    `desalination_electricity_demand_for_h2`
+    - `embedded_storage_consultant_scenario_mapping`
+    → `aggregated_storage_consultant_scenario_mapping`
+- Fixed a validation issue that resulted in some tables dropping rows when a table's second column happened to be blank
+  - (affected `marginal_loss_factors_existing_generators` in 7.8).
+- Fixed sanitiser handling of `[footnote]`-style markers and notes containing `$` amounts (which were previously partly sanitising the values).
+- Cells holding two distinct values (e.g. `"250 (generation) 325 (pump)"`) are intentionally returned as text (instead of choosing, for example, the first value).
+- Dropped Python 3.9 support; added Python 3.14.

    - These specify the name, location, columns and data range of tables to be extracted from a particular workbook version. Optionally, rows to skip and not read in (e.g. where AEMO has formatted a row with a strike through to indicate that the data is no longer being used) and columns with merged rows can also be specified and handled.
    - These are included with the package distributions.
 3. `Parser` loads the MS Excel workbook and, by default, will check if the version of the workbook is supported by seeing if configuration files are included in the package for that version.
