GenericRadar v0.6.2

What changed

  • Operator-selected local playlists are unlimited by default. A background preflight estimates decoded RAM and asks Continue or Cancel only when the estimate exceeds 16 GiB; it never refuses the load. Optional frame/RAM limits remain available, while unattended live feeds retain bounded fallback history.
  • One-cut Archive II/Message 31 research exports now assemble into a logical multi-elevation volume only when their internal volume sequence, radar identity, exact recorded position, acquisition date/VCP and radial timing agree. Ambiguous files remain independent, and the same conservative assembly applies inside mobile deployment ZIPs.
  • DORADE, CfRadial and ODIM volumes expose exact producer-native fields from the current file, preserving producer names, descriptions, unit tokens and observed ranges without inventing semantics. Each exact field has its own palette and fixed-range override. Unsaved Apply changes last for the session; a matching saved edit can return after restart; Reset to observed range restores automatic display.
  • Exact source fields are currently 2D-only. The 3D and cross-section tools now show an explicit unavailable message instead of silently substituting reflectivity.
  • Message 31 exports with a zero outer Archive II clock now use their first radial's acquisition time. Different selected local files with the same radar/time identity remain separate timeline frames.

Builds

GenericRadar.exe attached to this release is the exact Windows build flight-tested and approved by the maintainer.

The Windows executable is unsigned, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may warn when it is first opened. If you downloaded it from this official release and choose to run it, select More info, then Run anyway.

Linux and macOS archives are compiled from the same v0.6.2 tag and lockfile, but they were not flight-tested by the maintainer.
