1.0.0
🎉🎉🎉 Exciting News! The Open-Meteo source code has officially reached version 1.0.0, marking a significant milestone. This release introduces a stable distribution for both Docker and Ubuntu packages, ensuring a more seamless and reliable deployment experience! 🎉🎉🎉
Major changes include a restructuring of the internal database layout and the incorporation of new weather models. The redesigned database layout is geared towards long-term stability, ensuring compatibility with future versions.
‼️ Important Notice: For users upgrading from previous versions utilizing Docker or Ubuntu Prebuilt packages, it is important to execute a database migration script to preserve previously downloaded weather data. Additionally, many weather models and variables have undergone renaming for consistency. Refer to this PR for detailed information. ‼️
Version 1.0.0 also establishes the groundwork for redistributing the Open-Meteo database as open-data through an AWS Open-Data Sponsorship. Instead of directly downloading raw weather data in GRIB format from national weather services, users can now access the optimized time-series database from Open-Meteo directly through AWS. The open-data distribution allows fine control, enabling users to retrieve only a specific subset of weather variables relevant to their use case. This not only conserves resources for data processing but also reduces bandwidth usage on the servers of national weather services. Instructions can be found in the and the . Please be aware that not all weather models and data sources are currently available and will be progressively added over the next few weeks with documentation and examples to follow.
