AccessiWeather v0.6.0
Added
- Forecaster Notes now brings NWS text products into the app, including Area Forecast Discussions, Hazardous Weather Outlooks, and Special Weather Statements for supported US locations.
- HWO and SPS notifications can alert you when important NWS text products change, alongside the existing alert and discussion notifications.
- Saved US locations now cache NWS zone metadata, and Edit Location shows the forecast zone and NWS office when available.
- You can now copy the full alert details from the alert dialog in one click.
- Alert details can be shown in a single combined view, with configurable date formats for alert timestamps.
- Edit Location lets you toggle Marine Mode on an existing saved location without removing and re-adding it.
- Marine Mode forecast presentation is expanded for coastal locations.
- Precipitation notifications now use probability and short-range precipitation guidance, with adaptive polling that checks more often when rain looks likely.
- View > Precipitation Timeline opens a Pirate Weather minute-by-minute precipitation timeline.
- NOAA Weather Radio can show more nearby stations from inside the radio dialog, and station results are filtered by WeatherIndex availability.
- You can choose whether Add/Edit/Remove location buttons appear near the location picker or below the forecast content.
- Optional rule-based weather impact summaries add practical context to current conditions and forecast changes.
Improved
- Main window layout, grouping, section sizing, window titles, status handling, and keyboard navigation were polished for screen reader workflows.
- Event Center navigation and related UI behavior were cleaned up.
- Settings dialog labels and accessibility behavior were improved.
- Discussion AI summaries stay hidden until requested, reducing clutter.
- The user manual and Help menu entry were updated to match the current app.
- Automatic mode keeps fusion-first behavior while reducing unnecessary API calls.
- Pirate Weather duplicate fetches were reduced.
Fixed
- Windows Action Center and toast activation are more reliable, including cold-start activation and alert activation payload handling.
- Alert notifications no longer repeat every few minutes in automatic mode.
- Alert notifications are processed on the initial weather fetch.
- Auto-update checks now recover from sleep and hibernation instead of silently missing the 24-hour check.
- Windows startup detection is target-aware, reducing false startup setting states.
- Forecast timezone labels and forecast wind units now honor the selected location and unit preferences.
- AVWX API keys persist through secure keyring storage.
- Toast text escaping, app identity repair, notifier shutdown, and notification task cleanup were hardened.
- Test-only keyring and clipboard interactions were made hermetic so CI does not touch developer machine state.

Nightly 2026-04-19
Added
- You can now copy alert details to the clipboard with one button — works in both the separate-fields and combined views, and grabs everything including issued/expires timestamps (#609).
- New Single combined view for alerts: read the entire alert (headline, description, instructions, issued/expires) in one scrollable text box. Pick your preferred date format too — ISO, US short, US long, or EU (#608).
- Edit Location dialog lets you enable Marine Mode on a location you already saved, no need to delete and re-add it. Available from a new bottom-row button and the Location menu (#607).
- Marine Mode forecast presentation is finished end-to-end — marine content now flows through the main forecast and daily forecast display when a marine-enabled location is selected (#554).
- New probability-based precipitation notification: get alerted when precipitation probability crosses a threshold you set in the next hour, with smart deduplication across 50–70%, 70–90%, and 90%+ bands. Toggle and tune it from Settings → Notifications (#571).
- Adaptive minutely precipitation polling: when the hourly forecast shows rain coming, AccessiWeather automatically polls more often so you don't miss short rain events, then backs off when things clear up to save API calls (#576).
Fixed
- Add and Remove Location buttons are back on the bottom button row, restoring the natural tab order from the location dropdown straight into the forecast content for screen reader users (#606).
