B.3.2.0: Lightning detection

Optional Xweather / Vaisala lightning detection is configured under Administration → Weather → Lightning Detection. StationCommand can retain recent strikes, draw Critical/Warning/Advisory rings, show closest-strike information, and force the Weather slide into rotation when a configured proximity zone is active.

Private mapsLightning can be enabled independently on Current Radar, incident, and EOC maps.

Public WeatherPublic lightning is a separate opt-in and remains off until an administrator enables it.

Adaptive pollingStorm activity uses a 15–30 second interval; quiet conditions use 15–30 minutes.

Credential privacyThe Xweather Client Secret stays server-side and is never sent to station/public displays.

B.3.2.0: Street View reliability

The Google Street View loader now waits for Google's documented async callback, loads the Street View library before use, and initializes the panorama only after its split panel is visible and sized. Administration → Mapping → Test Google Street View now reports authentication, billing/referrer, loader, and panorama-availability problems.
