- Fixed a bug where sometimes current conditions cannot get parsed, and as such PyWeather crashes.
- Fixed a bug where the current dew point can be shown as -9999F (-9999C) and this invalid data doesn't get caught.
- Fixed a bug where the current humidity can be shown as N/A& and this invalid data doesn't get caught.
- Fixing a "bug" where PyWeather sometimes can't hit Google's geocoder, but after a relaunch it can (try 3x to get a location)
- Fixing a bug where PyWeather does not detect duplicate hurricane data due to Wunderground's API being not so nice
- Fixing a bug where if extra tools is disabled and the user goes into the input to enable it and enters no, extra tools will appear anyways.

- Fixed a minor bug where PyWeather wouldn't catch bad humidity data for current conditions.
- Fixed a bug where configsetup script set the default geocoder scheme to https, which caused issues on platforms that don't support the geocoder running in the HTTPS scheme.
OTHER CHANGES:
- The Git Updater has been completely removed, as it's been unreliable. A universal updater will be introduced later in time.
- The configupdate file will now properly catch a bad section error (not a plain except)
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Tide data may not be fully available for some cities. I'm working on a fix for 0.6.4 beta.
- Attempting to exit out of historical weather is bugged. I'm also working on a fix for 0.6.4 beta.
- Hurricanes in hurricane data will show up twice. I've already contacted Wunderground about the issue, but they haven't responded back. A fix is coming in 0.6.4 beta.
- A custom geocoder key won't work without an https-enabled scheme. There is a temporary fix in 0.6.3 beta, but a more comprehensive fix will be coming in 0.6.4 beta.
- The configsetup script will default to an http scheme regardless of if your OS is https compatible or not. A more comprehensive fix will be coming in 0.6.4 beta.
NEW FEATURES/REMOVALS
- Adds the ability to view yesterday's weather. - Thanks to @ModoUnreal for coding this in!
- Adds the ability to view hurricane data in PyWeather.
- Adds the ability to view tide data in PyWeather.
- Adds the manual configuration of 3-day and 10-day hourly cache times. - Thanks to @ModoUnreal for coding this in!

- Adds the ability to input decimal numbers into cache times during setup.
- Adds the ability to manually define a version you're upgrading to in the configupdate script in the event your versioncheck file is gone.
- Removed the configdefault script. The configsetup script has taken it's place now.
- Added up-to-date and no matching version messages in the configupdate script.
- Minor UI changes.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a critical bug where if geopy wasn't installed before setup, Pyweather Setup would install geocoder INSTEAD of geopy, and throw an error.
- Fixed a bug where I forgot to globalize variables relating to emptying the radar cache.
- Fixed a bug where if your configuration file failed to load, cache times were set insanely high (5 seconds for alert data, etc)

- Fixed a bug where you weren't able to exit out of the summary screen when viewing historical data.
- Fixed a bug where wind chill data in celsius in historical hourly displayed "kph" instead of a degree C symbol.
- Fixed a bug where the 10 day forecast cache expire time was running off of the hourly cache time.

- Fixed a bug where if some almanac data wasn't available, PyWeather would crash - Thanks to @ModoUnreal for reporting the error!
- Fixed a "bug" where if you had no connection to the updater at boot with it enabled, PyWeather would exit instead of continue Thanks to @creepersbane for reporting the error!
- Fixed a potential bug where proper code to catch invalid sunrise/sunset data was not implemented.
OTHER CHANGES
- ModoUnreal is now an awesome contributor!
- The setup script will now forcefully write out a versioninfo file at the top of the script.
NEW FEATURES/REMOVALS
- Adds caching and refreshing to PyWeather. After a user-defined amount of time, a cache will expire for certain components of PyWeather, prompting a re-fetch of data. A manual refresh option will also get added, in which a flag is enabled to refresh the cache.
- Removed the dependency on geocoder, and by extension, removed the unnecessary reverse geocoder, and
- Added the dependency of appJar.
- Loading times have been increased by about 0.2 seconds, due to the removal of the unnecessary second geocoder.
- Added the last-resort option when installing Colorama in the setup file, and a warning to all last-resort options.
- Adds an experimental radar to PyWeather.
- Adds error checking for imports on all scripts (non-standard libraries)
- Adds a progress indicator during setup configuration.
- Adds requests as a necessary library to setup.
- PyWeather Setup now validates your API key after you input it (and after the backup)
- PyWeather Setup will now update PIP packages with user approval.

- Removed the keybackup script.
- Minor UI changes.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a major bug where the PyWeather Git updater wouldn't, uh, fully update.
- Fixed a bug where configsetup's directory checking wasn't 100% compatible with Windows.
- Fixed a bug where if the sunrise/sunset/moonrise/moonset hour was 0, PyWeather wasn't correcting it to a 12.
- Fixed a bug where if you entered a weird name to check the weather for, an encoding error would occur.
- Fixed a major bug where alerts wouldn't iterate, due to a non-defined config variable.
- Fixed a super tiny bug where a logger.info statement would not print in the setup file, unless Geopy was not installed.
- Fixed a bug in the setup file, in which if sections were already added to a config file without the configprovisioned flag, PyWeather Setup would not run.
- Fixed a bug in which custom directories really didn't work for the backup API key in the setup script
- Fixed a bug in which PyWeather wasn't properly parsing wind data shown as "Variable". UI changes have been made to accommodate this data type
- Fixed many bugs in which PyWeather was unable to properly catch errors when parsing historical data, and wrong dates.
OTHER CHANGES
- Geocoder dependency was removed, as noted above.
- The PIP installer during setup now uses urllib, which is unreliable. An option was added for a user to manually download necessary files.
- Fixes a critical bug where a user couldn't provision their config file when they first downloaded the program.
- Fixes a critical bug where if a user attempted to use the configuration defaults program, the program didn't properly reset their config file.
The clever title comes from the addition of alerts, and the gigantic backbone update too.
NEW FEATURES/REMOVALS
- Adds an "About" page to PyWeather.
- Adds alerts information to PyWeather, including (of course) the ability to turn it on and off.
- Adds the option to show release notes through the updater.
- Adds the option to view when the next release should be dropping through the updater.
- The "What would you like to do now" menu will get switched to only a number-based input.
- Fixes for config stashing in regards to Git updating. There's a lot to do, so get a system where we can effectively update a user's config file for a lot of scenarios.
- Removed support for overriding version information. It won't work with the new updater when it comes to config updating.
- Adds error catching for a bad geolocator fetch in pyweather.py/setup.py.
- Minor UI changes.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug where if your backup API key couldn't be found, key validation was entirely skipped. I guess this was intentional, but now your primary key is still validated, but if your backup key couldn't be loaded at first boot, it'll stop before trying to validate a non-existent backup key.
- Fixed a bug where when running configdefault.py, "PYWEATHER BOOT/validateapikey" wasn't reset to it's default value.
- Fixed a bug where if you enabled update checking at boot, PyWeather would crash from an old JSON loading definition.
- Fixed a bug where in historical hourly information, if you had the iteration counter on, it'd print in red.
- Fixes a bug in which if validating your API key wasn't enabled, a variable wasn't defined, crashing PyWeather at boot.
NEW FEATURES/REMOVALS
- Adds the raw traceback output in keybackup.py
- Changes the error message when the config file fails to load (the potential for the file to not get loaded)
- Removes the error catching of a bad config file load, it's useless.
- Adds a fallback to doing a system "sudo pip3 install library" if a library is found not to be installed. (in setup)
- Added a warning to users using Python 3.0-3.4 in the setup script, it's known to cause errors.
- Switches the "here's the full traceback" thing from logger.error to a pure printout.
- Adds version checking in the setup script, while trying not to be Windows 10.
- Adds a warning to users on Python 3.5/3.6 and running Linux about Geocoder failing during install.
- Adds the ability to fetch all JSON files using a backup key, if the primary one fails. This is accomplished by using the first JSON fetch as a test, and seeing if a KeyError occurs. If a KeyError occurs, the backup key will be substituted.
- Adds the option to cancel a pending shell command in PyWeather setup (Ctrl+C), and increases the time until the command is executed to 5 seconds.
- Adds the ability to update with git through the command line.
- Adds back the iteration detections for historical hourly. This is accomplished by doing a for loop before user data is shown, and calculating the total amount of iterations that need to be done.
- Adds the ability to override the version number defined in PyWeather. This was done for debugging reasons.
- PyWeather is now using requests to get the API .json files, in favor of better reliability.
- Made error messages less vague. Hurray?
- Minor UI changes.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug in which if tracebacks were enabled in the updater, the tracebacks wouldn't print properly, as such, producing a traceback. Huh.
- Fixed a bug in all scripts that involved issuing HTTP requests. This is now improved with user strings, and should prevent random 400 errors.
NEW FEATURES/REMOVALS:
- Removes if verbosity == True in the separate updater, and keybackup scripts.
- Adds the ability to load your backup key if PyWeather can't access your primary key.
- Adds the raw traceback output in updater.py/setup.py.
- Adds the logger displaying configuration options at the start of every script.
- The backup key will now stay static to backkey.txt, with a configurable directory (thanks to @ModoUnreal for the PR).
- Changes the non-critical traceback print function from an info level to a warn level in all scripts.
- Catches up the setup file with the new configuration options added in 0.5 beta.
- PyWeather Updater will now show the release tag, even when PyWeather is up-to-date.
- In setup, the key-reconfirmation is now a while true infinite loop. - Done, and tested!
- Adds a check for "None" in of rain in the 10-day forecast, and -999 mph winds in the 10-day forecast on the current day.
- Rewrites multiline prints in setup.py (thanks to @gsilvapt for the PR/notifing me of the issue, and @Rhomboid on /r/learnpython for a good solution).
- Adds the configdefault.py script, to reset all configuration options to their default.
- Minor UI changes.
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a bug in which if the config file wouldn't load in the updater, the variable showReleaseTag wouldn't get defined, and it would presumably crash.
- Fixed a bug in which in the keybackup script, the logger name was not
pyweather_keybackup_0.5.1beta(it was insteadpyweather_keybackup_0.4.2beta. - Fixed a bug in which if Wunderground gave >60 minute intervals for historical hourly information, PyWeather would only display 24 iterations. With this, the iteration break detection is gone, so a user may see "enter to continue", with no data following that.
- Fixes multiple bugs with UI issues in historical hourly, and 10-day hourly information.
- Fixes a "bug" in which if the config file couldn't be loaded, the error wasn't properly caught. This is actually useless in practice, so hurray for wasted time!
- Fixes a "bug" in which if the config file couldn't be properly written to in scripts, the error wasn't properly caught.
- Fixes a bug in which the logger name wasn't properly defined.
- The naming comes from a combination of adding history (back), and 10-day future (future). Sorry.
- This release is so big, I've had to separate new features from bug fixes.
NEW FEATURES/REMOVALS:
- Adds historical weather information to PyWeather.
- Adds output of the raw traceback in PyWeather errors (pyweather.py ONLY, on by default.)
- Adds 10-day hourly weather to PyWeather (you'll hit enter 40 times!...by default).
- Adds a method in which PyWeather will display rain data for the day/night if the temperature is above 32F. Otherwise, it'll just show snow data. Fixes the bug in which the detailed forecast showed both rain/snow data.
- Adds a config option I can't really describe here (fetching the 10 day JSON at boot, or the 3 day JSON at boot/10day when needed)
- Reworks the config file some, sections are now where they need to be (aka verbosity has it's own section)
- Adds the ability to turn off the "enter to continue" things in the 10-day/hourly forecasts
- Adds the ability to set the interval in which the "enter to continue" will appear
- Adds the ability to show how many iterations are left in the enter to continue thing (if it's on)
- Removes the if verbosity == True garbage in the setup file.
- Adds the option to view the release tag in the updater.

- Fixes a bug in which if exceptions occurred when fetching the almanac .json, the exception wouldn't get caught.
- Fixes a bug in which if astronomy data couldn't be fetched (in more details), PyWeather would completely exit.
- Fixes a bug in which the setup script wouldn't start, because copy and pasting is a thing.
- Fixes a bug in which if the config file wouldn't load, the sunrise/sunset data would show up on the summary screen
- Adds an autoupdater to PyWeather
- Adds the ability to configure the config file in the setup script
- Adds verbosity (of course it did) to almost all scripts (yay)
- Adds the ability to "back up" your API key, and a script to do it (it's very simple...)
- No more if verbosity == True in the main PyWeather script.
- Fixes a bug in which sunset/sunrise times would show 6:0, when it was really 6:00, etc.
- Fixes a bug in which if the sun/moon data or almanac data wasn't prefetched on summary, in the detailed view, every time a user viewed the data, a new API call was made.
- Cleans up some legacy code.
- Minor UI changes.
- Fixes a bug in which detailed sun/moon data wouldn't get shown
