Lataa BowEcho 0.34.2

BowEcho v0.34.2
This release adds a full sounding-correction workflow, faster warning
inspection, broader European alert coverage, and substantial radar, satellite,
WoFS, and placefile improvements.
Sounding correction lab
- Added a separate, resizable, non-destructive correction lab for editable
model soundings.
- Correct thermal, moisture, and wind profiles independently, with
variable-specific depth, domain, and blend shapes, including draggable custom
profiles.
- Added visible QC for supersaturation, dry instability, invalid states, and
wind-seam kinks, plus an optional reversible dry convective adjustment.
- Sounding plots, parcels, hodographs, and diagnostics update immediately from
the corrected profile; Reset original restores the untouched source.
- Save fingerprint-bound projects, export CSV or SPC/SHARPpy RAW, import RAW
soundings, and run deterministic batch experiments over up to four correction
fields.
Warnings and Alerts
- Clicking warning polygons now opens compact geo-anchored cards with every
warning at that point, including wind, hail, tornado/damage tags, expiry,
issuing office, dismiss controls, and links to full details.
- Added automatic warning-source selection: NWS for operational US radars and
official MeteoAlarm Atom/CAP feeds for supported European radar countries,
with manual source and country selection available.
- MeteoAlarm warnings include severity-aware accents, full details, and
official CAP links. The anonymous public feeds do not provide polygon
geometry, so BowEcho presents them honestly as list/detail warnings without
inventing map placement; historical timeline sync remains NWS-only.
- SPC mesoscale-discussion map clicks now open Alerts directly, and official MD
graphics can be opened in a larger scrollable viewer with Fit, 100%, and
10-400% zoom controls.
Satellite and WoFS
- Fixed cached GOES RGB composites bypassing the selected spacecraft or sector,
which could produce convincing previews but empty map coverage.
- Fixed inverse-grid indexing on very wide and antimeridian-crossing satellite
domains so coverage remains reachable across the full frame.
- Added Center on satellite coverage and clearer messages distinguishing an
out-of-sector view from a transparent visible-light frame at night.
- WoFS drapes now continue loading and syncing when the WoFS window is closed.
- Added accurate ready/loading/unavailable/error states so stale or unvalidated
frames are never labeled active.
- Added a high-visibility mode that lifts low-alpha WoFS guidance without
recoloring, repositioning, or filling transparent pixels.
Downloaded placefiles
- Added multi-file import for downloaded local placefiles, including .txt,
uncommon extensions, and extensionless files.
- Local sources persist in the Layers list and support the same enable, refresh,
reload, and remove workflow as URL feeds.
- Relative local sprite-sheet references resolve beside the placefile, with
clearer load status and generation-safe refresh handling.
Radar products and quality of life
- Replaced abbreviation-heavy product chips with a categorized, full-name
product browser covering base moments, velocity, volume/hail, dual-pol,
precipitation, quality, texture, and simulation fields.
- More products exposes the extended catalog; advanced sweep products
compute lazily when selected, while KDP remains automatic when its source
metadata are trustworthy.
- Added one-click editing for the active radar product's color table under
Custom > Appearance.
- Added a sidebar collapse handle, direct Undo for workflow presets, and
native-resolution sounding-board image capture.
- Moved loop frame-count selection beside Load Loop for a clearer loading
workflow.
DWD radar
- DWD now prefers quality-controlled polarimetric reflectivity, falls back
through simpler filtered and raw variants when necessary, and enables
available ZDR, RhoHV, and PhiDP moments by default.
- Missing optional dual-pol products no longer prevent the base
reflectivity/velocity volume from loading.
