Version 1.10.2

[BDonnot]

• [BREAKING] the runner.run_one_episode now returns an extra first argument:
  chron_id, chron_name, cum_reward, timestep, max_ts = runner.run_one_episode() which
  is consistant with runner.run(...) (previously it returned only
  chron_name, cum_reward, timestep, max_ts = runner.run_one_episode())
• [BREAKING] the runner now has no chronics_handler attribute (runner.chronics_handler
  is not defined)
• [BREAKING] now grid2op forces everything to be connected at busbar 1 if
  param.IGNORE_INITIAL_STATE_TIME_SERIE == True (NOT the default) and
  no initial state is provided in env.reset(..., options={"init state": ...})
• [ADDED] it is now possible to call change_reward directly from
  an observation (no need to do it from the Observation Space)
• [ADDED] method to change the reward from the observation (observation_space
  is not needed anymore): you can use obs.change_reward
• [ADDED] a way to automatically set the experimental_read_from_local_dir flags
  (with automatic class creation). For now it is disable by default, but you can
  activate it transparently (see doc)
• [ADDED] possibility to set the grid to an initial state (using an action) when using the
  "time series" classes. The supported classes are GridStateFromFile - and all its derivative,
  FromOneEpisodeData, FromMultiEpisodeData, FromNPY and FromHandlers. The classes ChangeNothing
  and FromChronix2grid are not supported at the moment.
• [ADDED] an "Handler" (JSONInitStateHandler) that can set the grid to an initial state (so as to make
  compatible the FromHandlers time series class with this new feature)
• [ADDED] some more type hints in the GridObject class
• [ADDED] Possibility to deactive the support of shunts if subclassing PandaPowerBackend
  (and add some basic tests)
• [ADDED] a parameters (param.IGNORE_INITIAL_STATE_TIME_SERIE) which defaults to
  False that tells the environment whether it should ignore the
  initial state of the grid provided in the time series.
  By default it is NOT ignored, it is taken into account
  (for the environment that supports this feature)
• [FIXED] a small issue that could lead to having
  "redispatching_unit_commitment_availble" flag set even if the redispatching
  data was not loaded correctly
• [FIXED] EducPandaPowerBackend now properly sends numpy array in the class attributes
  (instead of pandas series)
• [FIXED] an issue when loading back data (with EpisodeData): when there were no storage units
  on the grid it did not set properly the "storage relevant" class attributes
• [FIXED] a bug in the "gridobj.generate_classes()" function which crashes when no
  grid layout was set
• [FIXED] notebook 5 on loading back data with EpisodeData.
• [FIXED] converter between backends (could not handle more than 2 busbars)
• [FIXED] a bug in BaseMultiProcessEnvironment: set_filter had no impact
• [FIXED] an issue in the Runner (self.chronics_handler was sometimes used, sometimes not
  and most of the time incorrectly)
• [FIXED] on RemoteEnv class (impact all multi process environment): the kwargs used to build then backend
  where not used which could lead to"wrong" backends being used in the sub processes.
• [FIXED] a bug when the name of the times series and the names of the elements in the backend were
  different: it was not possible to set names_chronics_to_grid correctly when calling env.make
• [IMPROVED] documentation about obs.simulate to make it clearer the
  difference between env.step and obs.simulate on some cases
• [IMPROVED] type hints on some methods of GridObjects
• [IMPROVED] replace np.nonzero(arr) calls with arr.nonzero() which could
  save up a bit of computation time.
• [IMPROVED] force class attributes to be numpy arrays of proper types when the
  classes are initialized from the backend.
• [IMPROVED] some (slight) speed improvments when comparing actions or deep copying objects
• [IMPROVED] the way the "grid2op compat" mode is handled
• [IMPROVED] the coverage of the tests in the "test_basic_env_ls.py" to test more in depth lightsim2grid
  (creation of multiple environments, grid2op compatibility mode)
• [IMPROVED] the function to test the backend interface in case when shunts are not supported
  (improved test AAATestBackendAPI.test_01load_grid)
