2023.5.27

Changes

• Updated style for plots
• Add map scale
• Updated colour levels for velocity and hurricane colour tables
• Updates to Cfradial support
• Removed no longer used code

Fixes

• IRIS RAW decoding at the presence of extended headers

2023.5.17

Changes

• Initial support for CfRadial format, tailored at files generated by PyART. Files need to have an extension .nc in order for the format to be detected. As a result, Python's NetCDF4 module is now a required dependency

2023.3.30

Changes

• Too numerous to count over the 5 years but here are the main points:
• Added support for JMA's GRIB polar radar data format
• Added support for Japanese language
• Added Doppler histogram function
• Added DBZ Mask function
• Set working directory automatically according to the last opened file(except for cache directory)

Fixes

• Open Data changes over the years: DWD switching to HDF5, KNMI switching to a new system requiring an API key. Ability to enter set an API key has been implemented(but you'll need to get your own one!)

2018.3.26

CAUTION! Back up your config.json as the default configuration has been changed.

TRV 2018.3.26

Changes

• Tweaks for user interface under Linux systems
• Added window icon for Linux and Windows.
• Place names are now displayed via dynamic data points file which is based on Natural Earth dataset.

Fixes

• Some issues have been fixed involving compressed Level 2 data files, especially when they contain messages of other types between MSG31 ones.
• Updated the list of German radar sites. Emden has been decommissioned while Ummensdorf has had its site ID changed at least in the open data server.
• DORADE decoder has been tweaked to handle more data sources. So far I've had experiences with(and therefore also support implemented for) old DOW data from late 2000's as well as U-Mass X-Pol data from 2016.

2018.3.19

FIXED: Adding Rmax when reading Nexrad Level 2 (at least in current format)
FIXED: Properly detecting whether running Linux or not (necessary for Arabic script rendering).
ADDED: Demo videos of a possible way of installation under Ubuntu and Windows.

2018.3.18

• NEW: IRIS RAW support (files need to end with .raw extension)
• NEW: crude DORADE support
• FIXED: HDF5/IRIS products processing when creating PseudoRHIs.

Sharp edges possible, especially with DORADE.

EDIT: This release has now been superseded by 2018.3.19

2018.3.12

NEW: Thunder icon for Dynamic Data Points
NEW: Py3-specific and Py2-specific startup scripts

FIXED: Linear interpolation menu option not getting enabled
FIXED: UI issues when initializing dealiasing of online German data.
FIXED: Original velocity data getting overwritten in memory with dealiased data when viewing DWD BUFR files.
FIXED: Mixed up undetect/nodata values used for reading DWD BUFR data.

Other changes:

• Tweaks in HDF5 Reader's data model
• Tweaked multithreaded downloading

2018.3.6

New:

• German open data
• Dutch open data
• Crude velocity dealiasing (half-manual)
• Preliminary ODIM H5 export (some data cannot be fully converted up the standard)
• Doppler Scale, aimed at investigating velocity data bins.
• Additional language support
• Fixes to PseudoRHI data mouseover
