Real Weather v2.0.0

With the new year comes a new major release. Below is the change log for all changes since v1.14.0. Enjoy and happy new year!

Caution

With a new major version, there are many breaking changes (indicated with ⚠️ breaking!:). These will either change behavior from previous versions or change the requirements for Real Weather to function properly. It is highly recommended, even if you have been using the v2 beta versions up until now, to revisit the documentation and familiarize yourself with the options available. Additionally, now is a great time to refresh and renew your config file. Not only has the configuration language changed entirely, but many options have moved around and may work differently. The default config is a great starting point, and anything you do not provide in your config, will come from this default config.

For more details on anything and everything in the changelog below, your best bet is to view the updated documentation
