BowEcho v0.34.10
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
v0.34.10tag by GitHub
Actions. Matching.sha256files are published beside the Windows, macOS,
and Linux downloads.
