 # Version Info
 
+2.9.8 - 2026/03/22<br>
+** potential breaking changes **
+Update to use Mode Scheduler API v3.
+This adds 'properties' to f.schedule that describes the work modes and parameters supported on different inverters.
+f.work_modes and f.settable_modes are now set dynamically from the properties.
+The period parameters that are sent are trimmed to the supported set and unused parameters for the mode are removed.
+** API v3 rejects unsupported parameters. This limits the testing I can do for different inverters. Please report any issues **
+API v3 removes the previous ability to send disabled time periods. If you try to send a disabled period, set_period() will return None.
+set_period() now supports 'reactive_power' as a parameter.
+set_schedule() now supports 'is_default'. See Open API documentation for more info on what this does.
+charge_needed() changed from using min_soc for battery hold to using ForceDischarge with fdpwr=0 when timed_mode=2.
+charge_needed() default configuration now has forecast_selection=0 so settings will be updated if a forecast is not available.

 2.9.7 - 2026/03/18<br>
