新晴天钟再次进行了若干修正,详列如下:

  • 重写了XML和JSON API;
  • 民用及民用简化版加入了“零星阵雨”和“局地阵雨”两种天气状况,民用、民用简化版及两周展望进行了一些发报机制修正;
  • 预报页面加入地址解析功能,预报图表下方同时显示图例以及相关信息。

  若无重大改动,晴天钟将在7月31日前正式切换到新平台上使用,旧平台网站界面将不再对外提供服务,但预报界面(含API)将至少运转到今年底。

A few modifications are made on the new 7Timer platform. They are:

  • Re-write the XML/JSON API output.
  • "Occasional showers" and "isolated showers" are added to CIVIL and CIVIL Light forecasts, plus some adjustment of the forecast scheme.
  • Adding current site geocoding of the forecast pages, as well as in-page icon definition table. Sun/moon/twilight information as seen on the old platform are also migrated in.

As my time for the development of the new 7Timer has already run out, I have no plan for further major revision. If no serious bugs are found, the new platform will become official by July 31th. The web interface of the old platform will then be deprecated and can not be accessed, while the old forecast diagrams as well as their APIs will be operational until no early than Dec. 31, 2011. I recommend all program/website developers to migrate to the new version APIs.
