Update to Weather Now

Weather Now release 5.0.9330 came out this afternoon. The only difference is the way it stores weather lists.

When you go to the site, it shows you the weather in a short list of places from around the world. If you register by logging in with a Microsoft account, you can personalize this list. Previously the app stored this personalized weather list as part of the user's profile and stored the system default list (shown to unregistered users) as a simple configuration setting.

This release moves weather lists to their own data structure, so that (a) administrators can edit the system default list on the fly and, eventually, (b) users can have multiple lists. This also means the app now has a designated weather list editing page.

Next up on the feature roadmap:

• Create and edit multiple weather lists per user
• Choose which weather lists to show on the main page
• Show normal and record temperatures for some US stations
• Show historical climate data for some US stations

That said, I have another major project that will take precedence over these updates, so I don't expect another Weather Now release until late fall or even early winter. And if you want to see a new feature on the app, let me know in the comments.
