v0.2.0

PyThrust v0.2.0

This release adds the new rate-map battery workflow for mission and endurance analysis.

Highlights

• Added RateMapBattery support for state-dependent battery voltage from OCV and resistance curves.
• Added BatteryState, BatteryPoint, and BatteryIntegrationResult for battery operating-point and integration outputs.
• Added battery integration modes for current, C-rate, power, voltage, load resistance, and internal power loss.
• Added target-DOD integration helpers and energy knockdown factors inspired by bat-perf.
• Integrated rate-map batteries into the propulsion solver through battery_state.
• Added an example Li-ion cell dataset and new rate-map battery examples.
• Improved documentation for battery modeling, API usage, examples, and theory.

Validation

• Expanded battery model tests and solver tests.
• Compared rate-map behavior against bat-perf MATLAB/Octave outputs.
• Verified docs build with mkdocs build --strict.

Compatibility

BatterySpec remains available as a compatibility alias for FixedVoltageBattery. New code should prefer importing FixedVoltageBattery or RateMapBattery directly.
