Release 0.7.0

[TimoDiepers]

Cuts 0.7.0. Bumps __version__ and closes out the [Unreleased] changelog section — no code changes.

Contents

One user-facing change, the installation-impact fix from #61:

• An installed unit's production temporal distribution is its lifetime output, not its annual output. Before, the sum over the operation window was read as the per-year rate, so one unit delivered its whole lifetime production in every operating year and its construction and end-of-life impacts were amortized over n times the output it actually delivers (n = length of the operation window).
• var_installation and var_operation both count process units, so OperationCapacity compares them directly.
• Postprocessing capacity outputs report annual capacity, comparable with production.

Why minor and not patch

It is a bugfix, but taking it is not a no-op for users:

• Optimization results change for any process whose operation window spans more than one time step. Construction-heavy technologies move most; single-year windows are unaffected.
• existing_capacity and the deployment and operation limits now carry a different unit. Values calibrated as an annual capacity must be multiplied by the number of operating years, or the model is silently wrong.

A patch release reads as "safe to take blind", which this isn't.
