pyRadar / News: Recent posts

0.4 is updated to use NOAA's ftp server, for file downloads. This is instead of the old method of scraping NOAA's website for the files that no longer works due to changes on NOAA's web site. In addition to the new data source, duplicate radar images should no longer be added to the loop if there is not an update to the radar image during pyRadar's update cycle. Also, any new radar images that would normally be missed due to a long update cycle on the client side or an update of < 5 min. on the server side will now be included in the normal update. This will insure that the loop contains the 10 latest images published by NOAA.

pyRadar v0.3.1 is available for download in the project files section. This release is a bugfix for v0.3 and corrects an issue with adding frames to the loop.

pyRadar v0.3 is available for download in the project files section. New features include the automatic loading of the last 10 radar images into the loop as soon as the loop is loaded and both the increase in the number of looped frames (from 4 to 10) and a reduction in the time between looped frames (5 seconds to 1 second).

pyRadar v0.2 is available for download in the files section. New features include the ability to have custom station lists on a per user basis, and a -bc version for anyone who has trouble running the standard release, due to older Python or pyGTK+ versions. (Most of the code for the -bc version thanks to Steve M)

I would like to thank everyone who helped me test the -bc version.
