What's New in Undercast Weather Aether
1.7.1
August 19, 2026
• Data integrity. Location-switch data bleed fixed. Switching cities quickly could show the new city with the old city's weather, alerts, and timezone — a cancelled fetch silently finished and overwrote the screen. Every fetch now re-checks that it still speaks for the screen before writing. Aether no longer zeroes hourly UV. Whenever Aether corrections were on, every hourly UV value silently became 0 (which also fed the hero display). Background refresh stops destroying the AQ hoard. The 25–55 min background pass was wiping each location's cached air quality, UV, AQ forecast, and ZIP — forcing re-polls and re-geocodes and defeating the hoarding design. It now carries them forward. • Timezones (all fixed for remote locations) Arc time markers ("now / 4p / 8p") were in device time while everything else showed location time — phone and watch. Day-detail header could show the wrong weekday across the dateline. EPA UV hours parsed in device time, shifting the whole UV curve; fixed on phone and watch (the watch now resolves and caches each location's timezone, and uses it for solar noon too). CloudKit learning-record merge compared days in UTC while records were created in local time — two devices on opposite sides of UTC duplicated outcomes. Merge now agrees with the local calendar day. • Alerts & watch The 2-minute home alert poll now actually fires notifications and Live Activities — previously a tornado warning it caught waited up to 15 minutes for the next full refresh. Watch location service no longer leaks/hangs on concurrent requests, and waits for the permission prompt's answer before requesting a fix (first-launch failure fixed). • Visual Duplicate weekday label ("FRI … FRI") removed from extended-day rows. Map temperature legend labels now sit at their true positions — "32" is under the freezing color. The 24-Hour Clock setting now applies everywhere: sparkline axis, UV bars, arc markers, day-detail axis, astronomical times (previously only the hourly strip). Watch UV tile no longer shows yesterday's peak as "current" at night.
