 - Users can now set demand to zero in `demand.csv` ([#871])
 - Fix: sign for levies of type `net` was wrong for inputs ([#969])
 - Fix `--overwrite` option for `save-graphs` command ([#1001])
+- Fix broken `Eq`/`Ord` consistency for `AssetCapacity`: equality is now aligned with
+  `total_cmp` ordering ([#1158])
