OK Folks,
Hopefully we've got these problems remedied. We tested several users configurations with the InstaWARN summary and it all appears to be working as intended.
Evan also implemented the code to physically remove and respawn the IWUpload process (for Watch/Warning Map uploads) should that process somehow hang.
########################################
Upgrade: http://www.interwarn.com/iwupgrade415.exe
Full Vers: http://www.interwarn.com/interwarn415.exe
########################################
Should no major issues be noted over the next 2 days, the software will be released publicly.
The following is a list of most of the changes from V4.0.
- Made use of new UCAR satellite imagery and looping techniques.
- "Watch Status Report" message under the National menu from the Storm Prediction Center will now use the Watch Outline Update product.
- During a transition period until local offices begin issuing the new Watch County Notification product operationally, InterWARN will also load in the Watch Outline Update product from the Storm Prediction Center into the local Bulletin's screen. This will allow users to receive a county-based watch product in their Bulletins tab and ensure the InstaWARN plug-in is updating with all active bulletins.
- Removed obselete SLS.ini file from the program
- Modified code so that users with a direct EMWIN feed will not continually attempt to download graphical products from the Storm Prediction Center. These produts will be correctly received at the interval selected under the configuration screens.
- Adjusted window size for several graphical maps that were being cut off to a small degree.
- Corrected several current conditions locations.
- Fixed problem with current conditions failing to use backup server.
- Corrected rare problem where a corrupted graphical map plot file would cause InterWARN to crash with an exception fault error.
- Improved logging capabilities to diagnose potential future problems. Under the Help menu, users will find a Logging menu with two entries (Normal -- default, and Verbose). At the request of the support staff, users may be asked to invoke "Verbose" logging to provide additional information to the support staff to address technical issues.
Enjoy!
Scott
