Change Log for FFWLD

v1.0.0beta02	2026-08-31

    This release is merely a patch release to the 1.0.0beta cycle.

    - Bugfix: cnvt_rain(): ignore dimensional aspect of units (/hr) when
              comparing current units against desired units
    - Change humidity display format to one decimal point of precision
    - Change solar_energy display format to two decimal points of precision

v1.0.0beta01	2026-08-18

    This release is simply a promotion of 0.1.2 (Alpha) to Beta status.

    Version Numbering Change

	With this release there will be a change in the way FFWLD versioning
	is done.

	- Rather than bumping the third digit of version numbers for Alpha
	  or Beta releases, new Alpha and Beta releases will take the
	  next Production release's version number, with "alphaNN" or
	  "betaNN" appended.
	- The last digit of the version number will be reserved for patch
	  releases. Alpha and Beta versions of a patch release will retain
	  that patch version through Production.

v0.1.2 2026-08-10

    Breaking Changes

	- Config section [labels] has been renamed to [card_labels]
	- Config option wind_dir_alpha has been moved from [card_labels]
	  to the new [text] config section and renamed wind_dir

    This Alpha release adds:

        - THSW measurement
        - Configurable timezones (UTC, local)
	- Customization/localization for timestamp prefix/intro text
	  (in the new [text] configuration section)
        - Finer-grained barometric pressure trend indicators
          (3 increased to 5)
	- Distinct badge icons for Dew Point, THW, and THSW
	- Improved badge UV icon
	- Updated ffwld POD (documentation)

v0.1.1 2026-08-03

    This Alpha release adds wind gust direction and barometric pressure
    trend indicators to weather card and badge output.

v0.1.0 2026-08-02

    Promoted v0.0.5 Alpha to v0.1.0 Beta

    Change wind_speed and wind_dir to use WeatherLink 2-minute averages

    Add wind_gust using WeatherLink 10-minute peak wind speed

v0.0.5 2026-08-01

    Breaking Changes

        Configuration option convert_rain_to_mm has been replaced by
        convert_rain_to.

        convert_rain_to takes explicit "in" or "mm" units instead of a
        boolean true/false value.

    Now correctly handles both inch and metric rain collectors.

    Rainfall units now default to the collector's native units. Use
    convert_rain_to to override the native units.

    Reworked badge icons and increased measurement value size by 1 point
    to improve readability.

v0.0.4 2026-07-30

    Breaking Changes

        Now requires Perl 5.10 or later

        Now requires Config::IniFiles for configuration file processing

    Added support for explicitly selecting sensor sources by lsid rather
    than relying on automatic detection.

    Added support for configuring which measurements to display and, for
    card and badge renderers, in which order.

    Added support for basic localization via the [labels] configuration
    section.

    Added support for wind speed on the Beaufort scale

    Added the -t (test) command-line option.

    Added the -j command-line option to allow sourcing raw WeatherLink JSON
    from a local file. (Such a file can be created using ffwld's raw_json
    renderer without the pretty_print option.)

    Refactored internal observation processing to simplify the addition of
    new measurements and output formats.

    Temporary files are now created in the destination directory of the
    final output file to ensure atomic updates across filesystems.

    Improved error detection and reporting.

v0.0.3 2026-07-17

    Now supports configurable units in the output mirroring the capabilities
    of the WeatherLink console.

    Now supports web badge generation.

v0.0.2 2026-07-14

    WeatherLink®-PWSD renamed to FFWLD

v0.0.1 2026-07-10

    Original Released
