经过努力，CIVIL服务已经在10月31日恢复。若干新脚本正在编写中，上线运行后可以有效应对高流量的情况。

The CIVIL service has been fully resumed on Oct 31. A few new scripts are being written, and we are confident that traffic volume like early and late Oct can be handled with these new scripts.

　　应用页面添加了三个新应用：用于安卓的One More Cloud Widget、Vortex Planetarium以及iOS的Sky Harbinger，欢迎各位尝鲜！

We are happy to add three additional apps that involve with 7Timer data on the apps page: One More Cloud Widget and Vortex Planetarium for Android, and Sky Harbinger for iOS.

　　从9月29日前后开始，晴天钟服务器出现访问不稳定的情况，更新也受到影响，经初步检查是服务器网络进程负载过高所致，但详细原因需要在长假结束后管理员作进一步检查。因此对您造成的不便，我们深表歉意。

We notice the service has been in disruption since Sept 29, causing connection difficulty and data update failure. This is caused by overloading server due to heavy traffic, but we need to contact server administrator for further examinations. The examination will not take place until Oct 7 due to the national holiday week in China. We apologize for any inconveniences.

　　在上海天文台汤海明版主及服务器维护人员以及IBM工程师的努力下，晴天钟网络服务于今晚18时左右恢复，预计首批更新将在22日1点左右放出。

Under the efforts from Mr. Tang Haiming and the maintainance crew at Shanghai Astronomical Observatory as well as from the IBM rescue engineers, the web service of 7Timer server was resumed around 10h UT today. The first release of data is expected to be done around 17h UT.

　　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.
