Revision history for Perl extension Geo::WeatherNWS. 1.054 Mon Jan 1 12:12:00 2018 - Switched from using POSIX module to File::Temp module 1.051 Tue Mon 27 22:13:00 2012 - Add POD documention for new functions. 1.05 Mon Nov 26 21:27:00 2012 - Address bug 14632 (METAR Decoding) from dstroma. - Address bug 27513 (Geo-WeatherNWS returns wrong station code) from Guenter Knauf. - Changes to deal with undefined values used for calculations to avoid warnings. To make it easier to check for undefined values, some calculations were moved into functions. - Windchill is now returned as undefined for temperatures above 50 F or wind speeds below 4 mph. - The knots to mph conversion is slightly different. - The distance conversion is slightly different. - We now round results instead of truncating them to integers, which will provide slightly different answers in some cases. - The value "ptemerature" is now spelled "ptemperature" Added wind speed in kmh - Fix bug for handling conditions without modifiers - Relax rules for ICAO names to allow numbers as well as letters for the last 3 characters - Change ICAO website - Change http web site from weather.noaa.gov (which is being phased out) to www.aviationweather.gov 1.041 Wed Nov 14 22:00:00 2012 - Minor changes: removed unneeded /d after tr, made network tests optional, check status of opens. 1.04 Wed Aug 10 10:00:00 2011 - Changed default ftp server name to tgftp.nws.noaa.gov, added ftp timeout, did some restructuring, added tests and some documentation 1.03 Sun Feb 9 13:52:00 2003 - added the getreporthttp call to get the metar data from the nws website at http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl 1.02 Sun Feb 9 12:45:00 2003 - changed ftp connection to passive to work behind firewalls - added automated station code provided by Jim Metzger 1.01 Thu Aug 08 13:07:00 2002 - updated version number and docs - fixed "isn't numeric" error in remarks processing 0.23 Fri Aug 02 10:28:00 2002 - fixed some documentation errors - added new wind chill calculation formula 0.22 Thu May 16 16:14:00 2002 - fixed temperature reading /pressure reading errors 0.21 Mon Feb 25 08:50:00 2002 - added support for mb encoded pressures (Q[XXXX]) - added decodeobs function to decode metar obs from a string 0.20 Sun Feb 24 11:33:00 2002 - added support for template files 0.19 Sun Feb 24 10:25:00 2002 - added support for error codes - added support for changing the server/user/directory settings 0.18 Wed Jan 23 21:26:08 2002 - added support for fractional visibility readings - fixed "uninitialized value" bugs 0.17 Tue Dec 18 11:46:52 2001 - original version; created by h2xs 1.20 with options -XA -n Geo::WeatherNWS
