Release Notes

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

1.0.28 — 2026-05-12

Your alerts work better — they fire when they should, stop when they should, and stay quiet at night.

IMPROVED

  • Your displays show more accurate battery levels LuxWX — Battery percentage on your displays now uses a calibration matched to your specific device. The reading is closer to reality, especially when the battery is getting low.

FIXED

  • Alerts no longer flicker on and off LuxWX — Lightning, hail, and UV alerts used to fire and clear in rapid bursts when conditions hovered near the trigger point. An alert now holds steady once it fires and only clears once conditions have actually settled.
  • Sustained-wind alerts fire again LuxWX — Sustained-wind alerts weren't firing on real sustained wind. They are now.
  • Spray-window and disease advisories give you real lead time Vineyard — Spray windows, powdery mildew, and botrytis advisories were being skipped whenever the forecast was more than two days out, so they rarely fired in time. They now cover the full forecast horizon, so you can plan ahead.
  • Advisory alerts stay quiet at night Vineyard — Spray and disease advisories no longer wake you up after sunset at your station, and you can set your own quiet hours per alert if you want a tighter window.
  • Minimum-duration alerts now work LuxWX — If you told an alert to only notify you when conditions hold for at least a few minutes, that setting was being ignored. It's now honored.
  • You won't get two alerts at once for the same thing LuxWX — When weather crossed multiple alert levels at the same moment, you used to get both the lower and higher alert. Now you just get the higher one.
  • Your alert wait-time setting is honored on older alerts LuxWX — Some alerts you set up a while back were re-notifying too quickly. They now respect the wait time you configured.
