Weather Watcher Live 6.0.0.51 (Beta)

A new version of Weather Watcher Live has been released: http://www.SingersCreations.com/Weather-Watcher-Live.asp

The changes are as follows:

CHANGED: If the selected weather station is down and/or not currently reporting data, Weather Watcher Live will automatically pull data from the closest available weather station. If this happens, the station name at the top of the forecasts in the main Weather Watcher Live window will display the next closest station name instead of the selected station name.

FIXED: Included JavaScript handling to prevent JavaScript errors from popping up in Google mashup when station search fails.

FIXED: The Weather Watcher Live tray icon was not always reverting from italic text to normal text after the next successful weather update.

FIXED: The correct sunrise/sunset times were not being pulled from the WeatherBug data feed for weather stations outside of the US. The WeatherBug data feed does not have correct data for some weather stations, so this change will not resolve all sunrise/sunset issues.

FIXED: Stations were not always switching properly from the "Change Active City" system tray menu.

Weather Watcher Live 6.0.0.44 (Beta)

A new version of Weather Watcher Live has been released: http://www.SingersCreations.com/Weather-Watcher-Live.asp

The changes are as follows:

ADDED: "Today's Max" and "Today's Min" tray tooltip values -- to display the max/min temperatures reached.

CHANGED: The "Today's High" and "Today's Low" tray tooltip values now display the high/low from the Daily forecast.

CHANGED: Hourly forecast data was caching for 12+ hours for most weather stations. Made a tweak to decrease the cache time. WeatherBug is currently working to release a permanent fix (should be out soon).

FIXED: Links to "World --> [TWC] Close/Far Local Satellite" maps in the Weather Watcher Live map list.

FIXED: For some weather stations, the wind was resetting to "N 0" after updating the weather.

Weather Watcher 5.6.30

A new version of Weather Watcher has been released:
http://www.SingersCreations.com/Weather-Watcher.asp

The changes are as follows:

FIXED: Links to "World --> [TWC] Close/Far Local Satellite" maps in the Weather Watcher map list.

FIXED: Adjusted the weather data cache time to prevent the weather data from being locally cached too long. This caching issue was most noticeable when the weather was updated between 12 AM - 1 AM.

Weather Watcher Live 6.0.0.40 (Beta)

A new version of Weather Watcher Live has been released: http://www.SingersCreations.com/Weather-Watcher-Live.asp

The changes are as follows:

FIXED: The temperature images in the slider at the bottom of the "NOW" section of the main Weather Watcher Live were not displaying the images properly when displaying the temperature with tenths and in Celsius.

FIXED: After changing the conversion settings in the "Conversion" tab of the Weather Watcher Live Options window, the main Weather Watcher Live window was not refreshing to reflect the new conversion settings.

FIXED: The map image in the "NOW" section of the main Weather Watcher Live window was being cached too long for locations outside of the US -- causing the map image to either not display or display an outdated map image.

FIXED: Wind was not converting properly in the Hourly forecast.
