BowEcho v0.34.4

This release sharpens historical radar workflows, sounding analysis, warnings,
surface observations, WoFS overlays, and day-to-day map controls.

Historical radar and warnings

Cross sections drawn on an older radar frame now remain anchored to that
frame while live data continues to arrive in the background.
Archived US radar scans automatically show NWS warnings valid at the
displayed scan time. Moving through a live loop follows each frame's warning
timeline, and returning to newest restores current warnings.
Warning cards now use the configured local time zone, have one clear close
control, and keep dashed or dotted severity accents inside their rounded
borders.
Watch cards identify Tornado Watch and Severe Thunderstorm Watch
instead of a generic watch warning. Tornado-warning cards use concise
radar-indicated or observed wording without borrowing tags from an
overlapping severe-thunderstorm warning.
Radar status notices are matched to the selected site, show the current WFO
message, and keep their full-status and hardware-alarm sections open while
being read.

Soundings can float in a separate, fully resizable window and dock back into
the workspace; Fit and Stretch work in either mode.
Added Maximum Parcel Level (MPL) for surface, mixed-layer,
forecast-surface, and most-unstable parcels.
Corrected streamwiseness to use the squared horizontal-vorticity fraction.
The sidebar edge control no longer covers sounding content.
Public MADIS aircraft soundings add the latest QC-usable airport ascent and
descent profiles available in MADIS's limited anonymous subset. Coverage is
sparse and uneven; because this feed supplies pressure altitude rather than
observed pressure, BowEcho labels its standard-atmosphere pressure as
derived.

The map can zoom four times closer for detailed radar and placefile work.
Storm-track visibility now persists across restarts.
Placefiles can use source, 2x, 4x, 8x, or unlimited visibility range from
the layer settings.
Pinned METAR displays now honor the configured time zone and no longer draw
duplicate timestamps.
Public NWPS river gauges show observed or forecast flood category and open
detailed stage, flow, thresholds, forecast crest, impacts, and hydrograph
information from the map.
Hurricane Hunter tracks retain more recent history, with direct Find newest
aircraft and Windows > Hurricane Hunters shortcuts.
The Guide now has search.

SPC categorical, tornado, wind, and hail outlooks share consistent polygon
styling, including proper holes and one label per multipolygon.
The Day-1 outlook can select any available same-day 01Z, 06Z, 13Z, 16:30Z,
or 20Z issuance while keeping all enabled outlook fields on that issuance.
WoFS domains now have a stronger high-contrast projected outline, while the
existing high-visibility overlay mode preserves the underlying guidance
colors and placement.

Radar > Tools > Open VWP provides direct access to the dockable Vertical
Wind Profile viewer. It now reports retrieved-level 0-6 km mean wind,
0-1/0-3/0-6 km bulk shear, and the selected SRV motion vector alongside the
wind staff, hodograph, and retrieval QC.

Radar product controls support persistent Modern categorized and Classic
compact layouts, extended-product visibility, and per-product tilt memory.

Archive warning availability depends on the public NWS archive and remains
limited to supported US warning products.
