Thanks @marekd...I found a minor bug regarding the time slider of "New snow" and "Rain accumulation". Slider is the normal version without acummulation of next 24, next 2,3,5,10 days. Slider hasn't any effect to the accumulation either...

Hi, I found two minor bugs:
1 Accumulation slider works now nicely in PC, but in mobile there is two time slider top of each other https://snag.gy/xU2e0w.jpg
2 In the parameter selector parameters can be in funny order. For example "Wind gusts" are not situated under the "Wind" but inside the "Clouds" and so on https://snag.gy/NX2Snu.jpg

Can you tell if temperature labels near cities are available for free version in API v4? I found temperature values at network panel, but it doesn't show up in map.

@Olexandr11 We had to disable this option off because it was a huge load for our servers. Actually I do not think you found these values at network communication, we do not send them at all.

Thanks @marekd Now I noticed that there is gfs isobars (pressure) in the "Icon" at the moment...

marekd

@saaneuvos Yes, it is on purpose. For API purposes, isolines are generate from global models only. Maybe it will be changed sometimes.

@marekd You mentioned "we hope Windy will be compatible with the newest leaflet soon," that is, v.1.4.0. We previously used the gratis API and had plans to incorporate the paid API. However, we've developed our new app focused on ever-improving Leaflet versions (currently 1.4.0, and tracking as it develops in future). So we have been unable to use the Windy API. We did attempt to use this test, but I think we misunderstood in that it still required 0.7.7. May I ask, is there a timetable for the compatibility with 1.4.0 so we can come back into the paid API fold and also help test?

marekd

@tedsolutions This testing API version is still based on leaflet 0.7.7. But I would be optimistic, leaflet 1.4.0 is almost there! :-) Stay tuned.

@marekd In windy.com there is isobars for IconEu, but all the other isolines are from other model. Before18.5.0 there was also isobars in IconEu in API4...

Just to keep you up to date with the leaflet update. Right now we are testing client 19.0.0 with leaflet 1.4 in Europe region. If everything will work, we are going to release this version to the whole world. Then, after a couple of days, we will release new API library with client 19.0.0 for public test. So you can expect API with leaflet 1.4 compatibility in 2 or 3 weeks.

@marekd said in Windy API v4 - 18.5.0-rc public test:

marekd

@bardek We already using leaflet 1.4 in windy.com website. We are about to publish API based on Windy 19.0.0 at first half of May. Thank you for your patience and sorry about small delay :-)
