Release Notes

What's new, improved, and fixed in each release of LuxWX.

1.0.26 — 2026-04-26

A big visual refresh on the E-Ink display, calmer alerts, better forecast accuracy, and shipping polish for the device store.

NEW

  • Redesigned E-Ink onboarding screens LuxWX — Setup, Claim, Updating, Resetting, Reconnecting, Bad Password, and Network Missing all share a clean new frame: bold header with status color, accent stripe, and footer. Bigger visuals where they help, QR codes you can scan from your phone, clearer next-step text on every screen.
  • Forecast screen visual lift on E-Ink LuxWX — Smooth temperature-tinted sparkline (cold → warm gradient under the curve) replaces the flat bar look. New persistent status header at the top of the screen carries the time, WiFi, battery, and onboard temperature/humidity in one always-on band. Day labels in uppercase, redesigned daily panels, precipitation ledge under the sparkline.
  • Auto delivery emails for device store orders LuxWX — When you order an E-Ink display, you'll get email updates as the package ships, goes out for delivery, and arrives. Address verification at checkout also catches typos before the label is bought.

IMPROVED

  • Status screen polish on E-Ink LuxWX — The Status screen now uses the same shared layout anchors and footer (WiFi + battery icons) as the redesigned onboarding screens, so every screen on your display reads as one consistent design.
  • Alerts no longer chatter near their thresholds LuxWX — Alerts now apply proper hysteresis, so a value hovering right at a threshold won't flip your alert on and off repeatedly.
  • WeatherFlow account linking via token LuxWX — If you link your WeatherFlow account by entering a token, the validation now reports actual results instead of rejecting every token as invalid.

FIXED

  • Forecast accuracy at extreme cold + low humidity LuxWX — Wet-bulb temperature can no longer exceed dry-bulb temperature on the rare combination of conditions where the math used to allow it.
  • Platform reliability LuxWX — Various stability, security, and data-integrity improvements behind the scenes.
