Weather Message V3.9 has been released. You can download the update at http://www.weathermessage.com/Downloads/WeatherMessage.aspx. For information on what has changed in this release, please read the release notes.

 

Note: Version 3.9 requires the Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0. Because of this requirement, version 3.9 will not run on Windows 2000 or older operating systems.

There are over 90 changes in this release. Here are some highlights.

• Several Email and Paging enhancements, including the addition of new short message variables.
• Added support for the Zephyrus WX-14 receiver.  The ingest program now supports two TCP/IP receivers.
• The Message Client's main interface has been redesigned.  There were over 30 changes to this application.

• Created a new web application to support adding a link to the original product text in facebook and twitter feeds.

WxDataSave, WxLocal and the Retransmission applications have been respectively released along with Weather Message 3.9. If you are using any of these applications, they must be upgraded at the same time you upgrade Weather Message.
