GenericRadar: all versions and old releases

GenericRadar v0.6.6
Smoother, clearer map navigation with seamless basemaps and uninterrupted radar imagery.

Basemap and navigation improvements
- Raster map tiles now meet cleanly without visible cracks; vector boundaries
remain continuous across zoom levels.
- Previously loaded basemap detail stays visible until its exact replacement
is ready, preventing black flashes while zooming.
- Cursor-anchored animated zoom and inertial panning make map movement smooth
and predictable.
- Disable animation at Settings → Navigation → Smooth camera motion if
immediate movement is preferred.
- Radar imagery is smoothly resampled during movement; decoded gate values,
scientific readouts, and underlying radar data are unchanged.
- Live low-tilt following, Level 1 I/Q reprocessing, surface observations,
placefiles, and current-view/animated-loop exports remain available.
- Pure Rust implementation with no new dependencies.

Downloads
GenericRadar.exe is the locally built and verified Windows binary. Windows
may show a SmartScreen warning because the application is not code-signed.
Additional Windows x64/ARM64, Linux x64/ARM64, and macOS Intel/Apple Silicon
packages are compiled from the same tagged source. Non-Windows builds are not
flight-tested.

Data credits
NEXRAD Level II is produced by NOAA/NWS and served from the
Unidata-hosted unidata-nexrad-level2 and
unidata-nexrad-level2-chunks buckets. Surface METAR observations are
published by the NOAA/NWS Aviation Weather Center; historical reports and
supplemental station networks are served by the Iowa Environmental
Mesonet. Additional sources include NOAA/NWS api.weather.gov,
NOAA/NSSL KOUN Level 1 data, USGS The National Map, and
OpenStreetMap contributors. Optional user-selected placefiles belong to
their respective providers. Research-radar fixtures and applicable CC BY 4.0
attributions are documented in DATA-SOURCES.md.

Cross sections, live-feed resilience, and a choice of toolbar.
- Cross sections draw discrete radar beams by default: one band per tilt
with honest gaps where the radar never sampled, half-beamwidth extents
after Zhang et al. (2011). The smooth interpolated view remains as a
toggle in the section window. Closing the window now disarms endpoint
placement.
- When a site's realtime chunk feed dies upstream, the app now falls back
to the Level II archive bucket and keeps the picture current, labelled
"archive fallback" with its true age; it returns to the realtime feed
automatically when that leads again. A stalled feed is announced on the
toolbar and on the pane instead of silently ageing.
- Two toolbar styles, one setting apart (Settings > Appearance): the
compact menu bar (default) and the everything-visible row from v0.1.0.
- Frame age readouts on the status line and pane headers; contrast-audited
chrome in both theme benches.
The executable is unsigned; Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run.
To build from source: cargo build --release -p workstation_app --bin GenericRadar.
