+## [6.0.3] - Upcoming
+
+**Summary**: Bugfix release fixing `cluster_weight` loss during NetCDF roundtrip for manually constructed clustered FlowSystems.
+
+### π Fixed
+
+- **Clustering IO**: `cluster_weight` is now preserved during NetCDF roundtrip for manually constructed clustered FlowSystems (i.e. `FlowSystem(..., clusters=..., cluster_weight=...)`). Previously, `cluster_weight` was silently dropped to `None` during `save->reload->solve`, causing incorrect objective values. Systems created via `.transform.cluster()` were not affected.
+
+### π· Development
+
+- **New `test_math/` test suite**: Comprehensive mathematical correctness tests with exact, hand-calculated assertions. Each test runs in 3 IO modes (solve, saveβreloadβsolve, solveβsaveβreload) via the `optimize` fixture:
+ - `test_flow.py` β flow bounds, merit order, relative min/max, on/off hours
+ - `test_flow_invest.py` β investment sizing, fixed-size, optional invest, piecewise invest
+ - `test_flow_status.py` β startup costs, switch-on/off constraints, status penalties
+ - `test_bus.py` β bus balance, excess/shortage penalties
+ - `test_effects.py` β effect aggregation, periodic/temporal effects, multi-effect objectives
+ - `test_components.py` β SourceAndSink, converters, links, combined heat-and-power
+ - `test_conversion.py` β linear converter balance, multi-input/output, efficiency
+ - `test_piecewise.py` β piecewise-linear efficiency, segment selection
+ - `test_storage.py` β charge/discharge, SOC tracking, final charge state, losses
+ - `test_multi_period.py` β period weights, invest across periods
+ - `test_scenarios.py` β scenario weights, scenario-independent flows
+ - `test_clustering.py` β exact per-timestep flow_rates, effects, and charge_state in clustered systems (incl. non-equal cluster weights to cover IO roundtrip)
+ - `test_validation.py` β plausibility checks and error messages
+
+---
+
## [6.0.2] - 2026-02-05
**Summary**: Patch release which improves `Comparison` coordinate handling.

Unit tests for the flixopt framework.
-This module defines a set of unit tests for testing the functionality of the `flixopt` framework.
-The tests focus on verifying the correct behavior of flow systems, including component modeling,
-investment optimization, and operational constraints like status behavior.
-
-### Approach:
-1. **Setup**: Each test initializes a flow system with a set of predefined elements and parameters.
-2. **Model Creation**: Test-specific flow systems are constructed using `create_model` with datetime arrays.
-3. **Solution**: The models are solved using the `solve_and_load` method, which performs modeling, solves the optimization problem, and loads the results.
-4. **Validation**: Results are validated using assertions, primarily `assert_allclose`, to ensure model outputs match expected values with a specified tolerance.
-
-Tests group related cases by their functional focus:
-- Minimal modeling setup (`TestMinimal` class)
-- Investment behavior (`TestInvestment` class)
-- Status operational constraints (functions: `test_startup_shutdown`, `test_consecutive_uptime_downtime`, etc.)
+.. deprecated::
+ Superseded β These tests are superseded by tests/test_math/ which provides more thorough,
+ analytically verified coverage with sensitivity documentation. Specifically:
+ - Investment tests β test_math/test_flow_invest.py (9 tests + 3 invest+status combo tests)
+ - Status tests β test_math/test_flow_status.py (9 tests + 6 previous_flow_rate tests)
+ - Efficiency tests β test_math/test_conversion.py (3 tests)
+ - Effect tests β test_math/test_effects.py (11 tests)
+ Each test_math test runs in 3 modes (solve, saveβreloadβsolve, solveβsaveβreload),
+ making the IO roundtrip tests here redundant as well.
+ Kept temporarily for reference. Safe to delete.
