First Public Release

Windows Users

NOTE: This does not work on Windows 11 ( that did not exist as an operating system when this was original compiled ). I will need to dedicate some time to reworking this to support Windows 11, but it might be a while before I can allocate free time to this.

HEADS UP:

Windows Defender will likely yell at you for trying to install this as I did not pay the $600 for a Code Signing License.

What's New in v0.8.0:

• Add ability to change Primary Location to one of your Saved Locations
• Prevent opening app more than once
• Add support for Launch at Start
• Fixed 24 hour time settings as that was not working correctly
• Fixed empty default App Launch Icon setting for Windows & Linux users
• Added swipe gesture for forecasts for those Touchscreen & Trackpad users
• Set app background color to prevent weird white glitch sometimes seen on app load
• Fixed bug on MacOS where Menu Icon was stuck being selected if app Opened
• Added better support for handling when the app breaks

What's New in v0.7.0:

• Support for Arabic, German, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Malay, Portuguese, Russian & Chinese
• Preferences should all be working as expected
• Minor Bug Fixes
• More improvements for CPU / GPU

IMPORTANT:

You'll need to update to this version to keep the app working as the API had to be updated to address some preference saving issues. All previous preference data had to be wiped for this fix.

This release should be the last major update before production release (v1.0.0). The next release will just address any OS specific bugs that pop up, and any minor tweaks I can make to improve the look and feel of the app.

Hopefully by end of next weekend I will have a new website up at https://weatherbarapp.com with this app in place for everyone to share.
