pyRadar is retrieves and displays radar images
from NOAA's NEXRAD radar stations, which are
located around the United States and its
territories. These images are released into the
public domain on behalf of the American public.

This version uses NOAA's FTP server for file downloads. Duplicate radar images should no longer be added to the loop if there was not an update to the radar image during pyRadar's update cycle. Any new radar images that would normally be missed due to a long update cycle on the client side or an update of less than 5 minutes on the server side will now be included in the normal update. This will ensure that the loop contains the 10 latest images published by NOAA.

Looping now loads the last 10 radar images as soon as looping is enabled. It shows a full loop almost instantaneously. The loop has been increased to 10 frames from the previous 4 frames. Loop speed has been increased to 1 second a frame. The last settings file format was changed for compatibility between the -bc and standard branches. An error in the -bc branch that prevented the last config from being saved has been fixed.
