Hello all,

  I cheerfully annouce that 7Timer! V3.0 finally release! This first version has these changes and improvement:

• Add forecast for precipitation and sea level pressure
• Weather map query form
• 7Timer! Panel remove, but still could be query if neccessary
• 7Timer! weather map archive
• Website upgrade, make it easier for use
• Index page upgrade, add a comparasion of latest satellite 

  Now the next step would be: seeing. In my spare time (fewer and fewer now:-(but I still have time as my latest sim-test result was good) for 7Timer!, I would do research for how to output seeing from GFS.

  As usual, mail me if any comments or questions...

  Okay, that's all. From now on 7Timer! Panel will not be the main part of 7Timer! System anymore. However, if anyone want to request one, I would still let it go, but for most users, I advice you to use the weather map only, as the resolution of GFS is too low to garantee the acuracy of local forecast. As the ARP has run today, all new panels will be update tomorrow, around 12hUT.

  And what am I going to do now, for 7Timer!V3?

1. I will firstly fix the bugs in Weather Map section (previously call forecast maps), and add explanations on that page.
2. Archives for weather map will be available -- now you could only query it manually in FTP, but I will soon write a javascript page for query purpose.
3. Delete some unuse 7Timer! panels. -- please note, if you occasionary use your panels and want to keep them on, please let me know -- use comment forms or emails are okay.
4. Write new FAQs.
5. Modify the look of website, mostly the front page.
6. Add new forecast parameters, like pressures, seeings(if I could manage), etc.
7. Use 160+ hours forecast instead of 120 hours.

  This plan will be fix one by one and will take a long time to finish it. I'm going to finish No.1 now... good luck to me! ^_^

  And wish you enjoy 7Timer!V3.
