Real Weather v2.0.0-beta-1

Real Weather change log

• 🚀 Completely overhauled configuration file and system. Real Weather now uses TOML for its configuration. Long ago, Real Weather outgrew the usefulness of JSON as a configuration language. JSON is great for simplicity, but today Real Weather has so many different config options, some with complex behavior, that a more useful language like TOML makes a lot of sense. TOML not only allows comments in the configuration, but uses a more human-readable and forgiving syntax than JSON. Stuff has also moved around, so make sure to view the updated README for a detailed explanation of each available option.
• 🚀 Add support for using aviationweather.gov as a weather provider (no API key required!).
• 🚀 Allow using the METAR report time over the system time for updating mission time.
• 🚀 Add new command line interface options for advanced use. See more details in the README or by passing -help when running Real Weather.
• 🚀 Allow multiple weather APIs to be configured as fallback options.
• 🚀 Add more granular control to how Real Weather updates weather. You can now disable/enable each component of weather updates.
