 # Frequenz Microgrid API Release Notes
 
-## Summary
-
-In this release, the Microgrid API has been updated to use the latest version
-of `frequenz-api-common`, in addition a few improvements and a bug fix.
-
-## Upgrading
-
-- This release upgrades `frequenz-api-common` to version `v0.6.1`. Please refer
-  to the release notes for [v0.6.0](https://github.com/frequenz-floss/frequenz-api-common/releases/tag/v0.6.0)
-  and [v0.6.1](https://github.com/frequenz-floss/frequenz-api-common/releases/tag/v0.6.1)
-  of `frequenz-api-common` for more information.
-
-- A new RPC named `AddComponentBounds` has been introduced, which accepts only
-  inclusive bounds. The old RPCs `AddComponentInclusionBounds` and
-  `AddComponentExclusionBounds` have been removed.
-
-- The enum `ComponentBoundsTargetMetric` has been removed in favour of the
-  `Metric` enum from `frequenz-api-common`.
-
-- The polarity of reactive power has been changed to follow the IEEE 1459-2010
-  standard definitions. In this standard, positive reactive power is inductive
-  (current is lagging the voltage), and negative reactive power is capacitive
-  (current is leading the voltage).
-
-## New Features
-
-- The `AddComponentBoundsRequest` message has a field `validity_duration` which
-  allows the user to specify the duration for which the bounds are valid. The
-  bounds will be automatically removed after the specified duration. The client
-  can select between 5 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes. If set to
-  `UNSPECIFIED`, the bounds will be valid for a default duration of 5 seconds.
-
-- The request messages `SetComponentPowerActiveRequest` and
-  `SetComponentPowerReactiveRequest` have a new field named `request_lifetime`
-  which allows the user to specify the duration for which the power setpoints
-  are valid. If this field is not specified in a request, the power setpoint
-  will be valid for 60 seconds.
-
 ## Bug Fixes
 
-- The CI was unable to catch unused imports in the proto file before. This has
-  been fixed by adding a new step to the CI to build using `protoc` with the
-  `--fatal-warnings` flag.
+- Fix a dependency issue by pinning the `grpcio` version and related libraries.
