BowEcho v0.34.10

This release improves WoFS reliability and navigation, makes several existing
radar and storm-analysis controls easier to reach, and reduces warning-polygon
work outside the visible map.

WoFS

  • Georeference calibration now counts a sounding only after its fetch, decode,
    and OCR work completes. A completed progress count therefore finishes
    normally, while worker failures become visible and retryable.
  • Catalog refreshes preserve the selected run and domain instead of silently
    returning to an older default. A selected live run continues advancing as
    new initialization times arrive, and Latest domain explicitly returns to
    the newest available domain.
  • Product search matches official names, product slugs, and persistent custom
    aliases. Products can be renamed or reset without truncating the catalog.
  • Validated georeferences add a state-centered hint to broad domain names.
  • Latest MRMS can add low-level or composite reflectivity alongside WoFS
    without replacing or recentering the current WoFS view. It is clearly
    identified as the latest independent observation rather than a time-aligned
    historical WoFS field.

Radar and storm workflow

  • A followed storm now reports motion speed, direction toward which it is
    moving, and projected valid times at +15, +30, and +45 minutes.
  • The maximum storm-track selector is beside the Storm tracks control, and the
    existing gate filter is directly below More products.
  • Recent raw Level-II cache files can be reopened from a site-labeled
    Cached KXXX... action without downloading them again. The action is
    presented as a retention-limited cache rather than permanent archiving.
  • Swath controls now explain that track length follows the loaded radar loop
    and point to the frame and loop-loading controls used to extend it.
  • The tropical-cyclone track layer is available directly in the map layer list
    and uses BowEcho's existing official NHC, JTWC, and GDACS data paths.
  • The status bar reports the full U.S. state name and abbreviation beneath the
    pointer independently of radar-gate inspection.

Layers and aircraft profiles

  • + Add layer is now part of the main Map layers section instead of a
    disconnected section below it.
  • SPC outlooks have an optional Outlines only when zoomed out setting that
    keeps outlines and labels visible while skipping distant fill tessellation.
  • Current and previous aircraft profiles can be searched by airport code,
    ascent or descent, source, and UTC date or time.
  • The aircraft-profile settings menu remains open while its controls are used.

Warning performance

  • Warning polygons that are definitely outside the visible pane are rejected
    before simplification and exact same-family union work. Visible warning
    geometry retains the existing overlap-safe fill path.

Guide updates

  • Guide search and documentation now cover recent cached radar files,
    rebuilding previous storm tracks from an archive loop, and extending radar
    swath duration.

Operational notes

  • Every official release asset is built from the v0.34.10 tag by GitHub
    Actions. Matching .sha256 files are published beside the Windows, macOS,
    and Linux downloads.
