The last couple of updates have dealt with some changes to the Atmosphere module, mostly fixing bugs and improving the performance, and adding the Live Tile to the Windows Phone version.
There is an update for Windows Phone currently in certification that should fix an issue that a couple of you have reported about the app crashing. That update should hopefully be released in the next day or two. Right behind it within a week or so will be another update, which will finally address an issue many of you have had with the Atmosphere module since the beginning....new weather icons!
It's been a bit of a painful process to match all of the new icons to the weather codes retrieved from the weather service, but we are happy to say that it is finally complete! These icons will also not have to be downloaded from the web servers each time, so that will slightly reduce the data used when checking the weather (not that it was much anyways, but any improvement is a good thing).
We will also be making a long overdue change to the 5 day forecast view on Windows Phone, which will hopefully make it look a lot better, especially on smaller devices.
The Windows 8 version will also be getting the same new icons in its next update, although we haven't determined what else will be a part of that update yet. Stay tuned!
