Current Release: HAMweather 3.9.8.4 - June 27,
2006
Changes in HW 3.9.8.4 (Jun 27, 2006)
- NOAA is no longer offering the HWO & SPS in the XML feeds, so edited the fc_special.ini
and the Warnings.php to allow the new IWIN replacement site to be used For
Special/HWO.
- added support to plain sockets to handle fetching data from a webserver and specifying the
port # (if not 80) as part of the server name. i.e. www.server.com:8080, SimpleHTTPClient.php
- Added support for %%day_winds#%% and %%day_winddirs#%%
Thanks to http://www.weatherfox.com/
for providing the code to implement this (ported
from perl version)
- update USA.php to add support for new space charactor at the beginning of each line
in zfp on the weather.gov server
- Fixed FetchZandH.php to handle hicon when sunset = NONE
- fixed bug that would give a place not found error you if searched by us public zone id and the location
name was not in the places table. FetchZandH.php
- Bug fix for FetchIntWx.php for IntWx HWdata Support.
Changes in HW 3.9.8.3 (May 7, 2006)
- Added a fix for when the end hour < begin hour. HW3 will display the correct day or night icon
for current conditions.
- Now allow PWS data source to be different from the normal METAR data source with the
addition of new INI settings in the fc_metar.ini:
pws_url=pws.hamweather.net
pws_prefix=/weather/current/%%find_place%%
pws_postfix=.html
Changed fc_metar.ini.php, FetchZandH.php
- Several people started having issues with international currents. This is because
the new NOAA XML servers only serve US currents, no international, but they also
now check the last 3 letters of the international icao, if they match the last 3
letters of an US ICAO they redirect to that, thus causing HW to display data for the
incorrect location. To handle this better the fc_metar.ini.php was updated to include
a different server set to pull for international locations. so the XML can be used
for US locations since its usually updated faster than some of the other servers
while other sources can be used for non us locations.
Changed fc_metar.ini.php, FetchZandH.php, FetchMetar.php
- Fixed bug with debug_mode=3 changed hw3.php
- Fixed bug in mysql usage if entered a city name only, the db would
always be queried with a fuzzy search even if a location was found
in the non fuzzy search changed mysql.php
- Added support for 'FULL_COUNTRY_XX' in a template to return the
full countryname. SQL only changed hw3tparser.php
- Added support for the Optional HWdata International Wx subscription service.
This service allows HW to display Internaitonal forecasts in
3,6, 12 or 24 hour formats based on subscription. See http://www.hamweather.com/hwdata
for more information.
Added:
configs/fc_intwx.ini.php
configs/intwxinfo.ini.php
configs/intwxinfo_long.ini.php
hamlib/HW3Plugins/FetchIntWx.php
templates/intwx.html
templates/include/intwx_interval3or6.html
templates/include/intwx_interval24.html
templates/include/nav_intwx.html
- Fixed notification error that displayed for users using the freeware
database & getting US forecast for a location with no closesy icao set.
Edited the FetchZandH.php
- Fixed bug in NOAAADDS.php where noaa sentthe negative sign as -
which kept the module from determining negative temperatures
- Added new regex to the NOAAADDS.php that will make it compatiable with
the SimpleHTTPClient for users who cannot use the new cURL client
Changes in HW 3.98 (Mar 11, 2006)
- edit the tafINT.html template to change pands= to
icao= to fix issue when a city name may be the same as an ICAO.
- added support to pull zone forecasts from www.weather.gov, which
should be an improvement over weather.noaa.gov. Changed FetchZandH.php and fc_zone.ini.php
- renamed main class in Canada.php to CAZone so there were no conflicts when
using %%FORECAST lines in a template that fetched US & CA zones. changed
Canada.php and FetchZandH.php

- Added support for %%hepoch%% which is the epoch of the metar update.
changed FetchZandH.php
- modified the Canada.php to help block wind speeds from being caught as temps

hw3.ini.php in uppercase HW would never use the default state. Changing the
default country to lowercase solved this. Added line to handle this in the
code as well
- changed NOAAXML.php to use the new observation_time_rfc822 node for time
instead of observation_time, because the new node includes the offset from
GMT, making it easier and more accurate to convert back to GMT. This also
corrected a bug with locations in the Atlantic Standard Time time zone which were displaying their times off by 4 hours.
- correction of bug in the FetchZandH.php that caused days to be off for currents
for servers in the timezones that are +GMT that occasionally displayed the
currents date, a day ahead.
- add support for new "cl_" template formatting command that will "clear" all
non word or space characters from a template variable. changed template.pm
- edited the Cookies.php for php 5 in cases when $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS is not
set by default to use the newer $_COOKIES
- edited USA.pm to handle the phrase for "Near steady temperature at xx"
- fixed bug in the NOAARSS.php which was causing HW to display the current hour:min
for the warning issue date.
- made changes tot he SimpleHTTPClient.php to improve support for "301 permantly moved"
and 404 not found errors and "300 multiple choice" errors (the latter from the
NOAA XML source)
- Fixed issue in FetchZandH.php and FetchMetar.php which were preventing HW3
from falling back to the secondary ICAO when a 404 error occured.
- corrected issue with hplace/hstate variables not working when using noaa xml
for currents
- changed the weather.gov domain to www.weather.gov in the fc_warnings.ini so that
the redirect message from noaa would cause issue in HW3perl

configs/fc_canexrad.ini.php and configs/fc_canexradloop.ini.php added
include/nav_ca_radar.html, include/nav_ca_radar_loop.html and configs/canada_radars.ini.php
- Modified HandleInput.php to use $_GET and $_POST instead of the
older variables, since some php 5.x users were having issues with this.
- modified FetchZandh.php to better handle ICAOs with very old
metar reports.If the first ICAO has data older than a day then HW will fall back to the second
ICAO.
- Updated the fc_warnings.ini to add the [Warnings
Addin] section to allow blocking HWO and SPS from displaying in the warnings
- Updated the NOAAXML.php to make the %%hwinddir%% variable be in abbreviated form
to match the other sources. Also added conversion for VARIABLE to VRB since this was missing
- updated the templates/include/local_radar_ridge.html and local_radar_loop_ridge.html
to display the warnings overlay only for base reflectivity
- Added support in Warnings.pm to get the title
"SHORTTERM FORECAST" when using SRH as the source for warnings.
- edited wxinfo.ini to change Fog & mist to Fog and Mist so not to cause errors
for xml output
- Modified the ParsePlace.php to add better support for
canadian Postal Codes
- Added support for HW3 to use a new look up 3 letter airport codes.
via new table in the database. Note that since the database is rather large, Its an optional download for from the HWdb Download Site. Changed parsePlace.php
and HWmysql.php. This is supported in SQL usage only.
- Added new fields to the ICAOs table. Which are included in the latest HWdbs, which allow it
to display the local zone forecasts & current conditions, radar etc when looking up an US
ICAO.
- Added new CurlHTTPClient which can be used in place of the

casing as used by HW3perl. This corrects issues where HW3perl & HW3php were installed on same
server using the same cache and each were storing the same metar data but with different casings
- Support for Tropical depression advisory in Warnings.pm
- Switched %%html_fc_warningtext%%hwcounter%%%% in warnings.html to
<pre>%%warnings_text%%hwcounter%%%%</pre> to give better formatting
- added support for %%hvisibility_meters%% when an metar observation is used
Changes in HW 3.06
- Added support for new Environmental Canada radar image format, changed local_radar_ca.html,
local_radar_loop_ca.html, added canexrad.ini, canexradloop.ini, FetchCANexRadLoop.pm
- added support for new template variables for the MOS items:
Note "#" in the variables below should be between 1 & the total hours available.
Wind chill: %%mos_wc#%%
Heat index: %%mos_hi#%%
Day of month: %%uc_get_mos_item#_vvDAY%%
Day of week num between 0 (Sunday) - 6(Saturday): %%uc_get_mos_item#_vvWDAY%%
Day of week name: %%uc_get_mos_item#_vvWDAY_FULL%%
Day of week name - 1st three letters: %%uc_get_mos_item#_vvWDAY_SHORT%%
Month number between 01 - 12 : %%uc_get_mos_item#_vvMONTH%%
Month Name: %%uc_get_mos_item#_vvMONTH_FULL%%
Month Name - 1st 3 letters : %%uc_get_mos_item#_vvMONTH_SHORT%%
Year: %%uc_get_mos_item#_vvYEAR%%
- fixed bug in template.pm that was causing HWI=XXXX:xxxxx not to work, thus
causing the imaps for Canada not to work properly
- updated wxinfo.ini to match the perl version
- added support for %%base%% template variable which is the code_path
- fixed bug in template.php which caused some variables not to display properly
- fixed bug with system not always displaying the correct icons
- Fixed bug when dpp= empty string it was being treated as do not parse
not iw must actually be set to something.
- added very simple fuzzy search ability in sql db usage. If you are using the sql DB then
there are two settings you can add to the [Database Access] section of the hw3.ini:
allow_fuzzy_search=1; will allow the simple fuzzy search to be turned on
fuzzy_min_chars=4; sets the minumum num of chars a fuzzy search can be performed on.
i.e. you wouldnt want to do a fuzzy search on "a" that woudl return hundreds of results
currently the default is "4"
Currently the fuzzy search only works when entering a place name only. HW3 will
then look for the "place" or "place county" if not found then it will do a simple
sql " like 'place%'" (where "place" is the location being searched). Thus if you type in
"montgom" HW3 would return several locations that began with "montgom" in the place name.
in future releases i will add the capability for fuzzy searches when looking up "place, state"
and possibly support for real fuzzy searches using the various perl modules for
handling such searches. (i.e. if you entered montgomeyr and meant montgomery..
a true fuzzy search would return a list of locations that were similar to what you entered
thus listing "montgomery" for you to choose from.)
- fixed bug where [Database Access] flatfilepath setting was not working correctly
- New DEBUG mode secuirty features:
1 - added support for a new debug mode. In the HW3.ini [SystemSettings] section, You can
now set debug=3, then HW3 will look in the same [SystemSettings] section and compare
"debug_pw" to the querystring/post parameter "debugpw". If they equal then HW3
will set debug mode to the querystring/post parameter "debug".
2 - debug mode now can be turned on by a special config file loaded with the
config parameter. Thus you can set debug_mode = 0 in the hw3.ini then no one can
view the debug info, but then if you create a new ini file and put in the configs directory
and add the following to it:
[SystemSettings]
debug_mode=1
then the standard hw3.cgi?debug=1 will not turn on debug mode you would need to
use something like hw3.cgi?config=xxxx&debug=1 where xxxx is the name of the
secret ini file which turns on debug mode.
This second debug security feature can also be used with the 1st debug password
security feature as well. just add "debug_pw=xxxx" setting to the secret xxxx.ini file as well
then you will need to use a url like: hw3.cgi?config=xxxx&debugpw=yyyyy&debug=1
where xxxx is the name of the secret ini file (minus extension) and yyyyy is the debug
password and debug=1 is the setting to set debug mode too.
- cookie can now save any template variable that is available at the moment before a
template is outputted.
- "place,state" lookup will now look for "place, state" or "place county, state" but will return
the place if both a place & place county are available (SQL version only)
- added support for %%close_icao_total%% and the arrays %%close_icao#x%%
and %%close_icao_code#x%%
These are pulled from the altplace info where the 2 closest icaos are listed. In the
future if additional icaos are added them you can do a "other close locations" conditions
etc
- Fixed issues with DST and added support to use the servers daylight savings time setting to automatically
handle setting DST. In the hw3.ini [SystemSettings] section if "use_system_DST"
is set to 1 then HW3 will use the servers DST setting to handle DST. If not there
or set to zero then HW3 will use the older methods of using the value
in the setting in the [SystemSettings] labeled "DST"
- began adding support for better cache handling of expired zone forecasts. By adding
support for %%forecast_expired%% for US & canadian zone forecasts as well as
%%forecast_expiration%% with the expiration time in GMT format and
%%forecast_local_expiration%% for the forecast expiration time in the locations
local time zone if available.
- fixed so when mode=1 parm is passed, county, icao, zone, fips etc parms will not be passed
from previous look up
- In the %%FORECAST command you can not use mode & dpp interchangably.. mode=1 & dpp=1 will
both make HW3 parse the place given in the parameters of the %%FORECAST command
- fixed bug with %%FORECAST .. mode=1 not resetting the BADPLACE flag.
Thus if in a template you have %%FORECAST command with a bad place, it would
not find any future places in %%FORECAST commands.
- added found_warning template var for warning search
- added support for %%warnings_expiration%%, %%watches_expiration%%,
%%special_expiration%% in GMT time
- added support for %%warnings_local_expiration%%, %%watches_local_expiration%%,
%%special_local_expiration%% in the locations local time when possible
- Added the ability to make HW3 use the day icon for %%hicon%% and %%day_icon#%%
when the night icon is not defined.
- Added the ability to make HW3 allow for a separate display name for weather types at
night time for use with %%hicon%% and %%day_icon#%%. This will allow you to do
things such as when the forecast states "clear" you could display the word "sunny" during
the day and "clear" at night. If no night time display name has been defined then HW3
will continue to use the day time display name. To add a night time display name
open the configs/wxinfo.ini. Each line is defined as
WeatherType=DayDisplayName|DayIcon|NightIcon|NightDisplayName
Most lines will look similar to:
CLEAR=Clear|sunny.gif|sunnyn.gif
if you wanted to change this line so that "Sunny" displayed during the day but
"Clear" displayed at night.. edit the line to look like:
CLEAR=Sunny|sunny.gif|sunnyn.gif|Clear
- added support for HURRICANE LOCAL STATEMENT in warnings.pm
- Made change to properly support county names in the search when entering
a name only. I.e. if you enter "Montgomery" it will look foor Montgomery and
Montgomery County
- fixed bug with FetchWxData not caching data which had the word "error" in it when
it was not actually an error.
- fixed bug with HW3 stating "Flood Warning" in place of "Flood Statement"
- added support for dpf=-# so that it will pull previosu forecasts from the beginning of the
data array. "-1" will pull the 1st item from the data aray, -2 would remove the first 2 items
from the data array. As normal,. positive numbers pull from the end of the data array.
- added support for dpf=all to remove all previous forecast data
- tweaked temp parseing for 3 new phrases in USA.pm
- added the ability for you to put "debug_no_show=1" in a section and that section will
not display in the HWdebug view. BTW the [Database Access] section will never display
in the debug view.
- added Night time name display feature
- minor change so %%hwi= ... %% can have a space after the = sign
- now handles the Hawaii zone forecast date format.
- zone_rows.html template will not attempt to display more icons than are in
%%day_total%%
- Made the MOS icons be based off the same INI settings as used by the
current conditions.
- Made change to properly support county names in the search when entering
a name only. I.e. if you enter "Montgomery" it will look foor Montgomery and
Montgomery County
- added new template variable. %%used_icao%% will be set to 1 if an icao was used to
get the place information, otherwise it will be set to 0
- made changes to the placeparser.pm and nav_state.html template so that when you
search via the icao.. the nav state bar will work a little better in that it will notprompt
you that the place could not be found.. but instead will only display the
zandh and hourly track Options. In a future release i will make a change so that
all the icaos place names are added to the altplace databases so that the normal
search will work allowing it to find the matching wxzone etc
- fixed so new hwvvars values can be defined in the %%FORECAST template command
- Fixed bug with shwv variables
- fixed bug with warning fetching, changed fc_warnings.ini as well
- fixed bug with individual zone caching.
- incorrect us-zones.txt file was included in previous flat file betas which blocked the
lookups via the state zone number
- fixed issues with the zone=xxZ### parameter. was displaying the incorrect state
- fixed support for state=xx&zone=### method of searching
- minor change so %%hwi= ... %% can have a space after the = sign
