QuteScoop Changelog

What's new in QuteScoop 2.1.12 Beta

• added:
• some more settings values (no UI), can't remember all. One was
• 'datasources/sondeUrl' for sonding data (alt:temp/dewpoint/wind) -
• just in case you want to use other data than provided by FSrealWX -
• thanks Silvio by the way!)
• show air temperature and spread (= temp - dew point) from sonde
• data
• text shadows in some places on the map
• for developpers: JobList allows for consecutive execution of
• several jobs (used in Launcher)
• fixed:
• when closing, remembered map position 1 was overwritten. This was
• counter-intuitive because one could save map position 1 via the menu
• or CTRL+1. It is now saved in position 9. There is an option
• 'remember position on close' in preferences. User is directed to
• preferences when he is about to save on this position.
• removed some references to Nokia. Qt is now maintained by Digia.
• sanitized sonde station names
• changed:
• removed labels for aircraft on the ground (declutter map)
• removed some unnecessary sonde stations
• wind arrows not belonging to the currently selected altitude are
• rendered darker. (configurable via Preferences->Weather, span
• of shown adjacent altitudes is new, too)
• wind arrows have adjustable size (Preferences->Weather)
• GUI stays responsive during sonde data decoding
• for developpers: any class itself should be responsible for its needed
• network data. See SondeData.h for an example.
• This allows more flexible use of functionality in other places
• for developpers: switched all network requests away from QHttp (which
• is obsolete) to new QNetworkRequest network infrastructure (Exceptions:
• MetarModel and *_cloudDownloader which will both be reworked soon).
• for developpers: more code style refactoring (see 2.1.11beta). Some
• 'const' added for locally used, never changed variables (I believe
• it is better although the compiler might just do that itself...
• I don't know... const-correctness is an acknowledged art in
• C++, though,
