- Updated the `send_response` method calls in various command classes to include a `skip_user_rate_limit` parameter for message continuations, ensuring that the per-user rate limit applies only to the first message.
- This change improves user experience by allowing seamless message continuations without unnecessary rate limiting.
- Replaced the `abbreviate_noaa` method calls with a new `_noaa_period_display_name` method to improve the display of forecast period names, including handling federal holidays.
- Updated the `BotDataViewer` class to include the bot name in the returned configuration dictionary, ensuring consistent naming across the application.
- Made minor adjustments to HTML templates for better layout and added footer links for project visibility.
- Updated the can_execute method in WxCommand to enforce channel checks before delegating command execution.
- Ensured that [Wx_Command] channels take precedence when using the delegate command, improving command handling accuracy.
- Updated utility functions to improve country name validation, ensuring accurate identification of country names and US states.
- Enhanced geocoding logic in multiple command classes to handle default state and country configurations more effectively.
- Modified error messages to reflect the correct region based on user input, improving user experience.
- Added short usage descriptions for satellite pass commands in multiple languages, enhancing internationalization support.
- Introduced functionality to configure custom weather sources in config.ini, allowing users to specify URLs for different locations.
- Enhanced WxCommand and GlobalWxCommand classes to fetch weather data from custom WXSIM sources, improving flexibility in weather reporting.
- Implemented methods to retrieve and parse weather data from specified sources, ensuring compatibility with existing weather command structures.
- Updated documentation in config.ini.example to guide users on configuring custom weather sources.
- Updated the `generate_html` function to include detailed command usage information, including syntax, examples, and parameters for better user guidance.
- Added CSS styles for improved presentation of command usage and parameters in the generated website documentation.
- Enhanced command classes with structured documentation fields, allowing for consistent and informative command descriptions across the platform.
- Added methods to retrieve companion and bot locations from the database and configuration.
- Enhanced weather command execution to utilize companion location if no user-specified location is provided.
- Improved location handling by supporting coordinates, zip codes, and city names, with reverse geocoding for display.
- Added optional geocoding helper libraries for improved country name validation and US state handling.
- Implemented functions to normalize country names and US state abbreviations, enhancing location parsing accuracy.
- Updated weather command to utilize new geocoding features for better location handling in weather queries.
- Adjusted message length calculations in weather responses to accommodate dynamic content based on location information.
- Implemented a configuration option for enabling or disabling commands across multiple command classes.
- Each command now checks its enabled state before execution, improving control over command availability.
- Updated the configuration loading mechanism to retrieve the enabled state from the config file for commands like Advert, AQI, Catfact, and others.
- Removed per-command user cooldown tracking from individual command classes.
- Implemented a unified cooldown management system in BaseCommand for both global and per-user cooldowns.
- Updated command execution methods to call the new centralized cooldown handling, improving code clarity and reducing redundancy.
- Enhanced error handling and logging during cooldown checks to ensure robust command execution.
- Added a new configuration option in config.ini.example for selecting the weather provider (NOAA or Open-Meteo), defaulting to NOAA.
- Updated WxCommand to delegate to wx_international when the Open-Meteo provider is selected, improving global weather command support.
- Implemented fallback behavior to use wx_international as the wx command if the default wx command is missing, enhancing user experience.
- Improved logging to provide clearer information on command delegation and provider usage.
- Updated WxCommand to better handle period identification for tomorrow's weather, ensuring accurate retrieval of daytime and nighttime periods based on current conditions.
- Added a cleanup mechanism in MapUploaderService to manage memory usage by periodically removing old entries from seen_adverts, preventing unbounded growth and improving performance.
- Optimized packet capture service to utilize indexed lookups for faster data retrieval and ensure fallback mechanisms for backward compatibility.
- Introduced caching mechanisms for internet connectivity status in CommandManager to optimize performance and reduce redundant checks.
- Updated command execution logic to skip commands requiring internet access when connectivity is unavailable, improving user experience and error handling.
- Added synchronous and asynchronous utility functions for checking internet connectivity in utils.py.
- Marked relevant commands (e.g., AlertCommand, AqiCommand, DadJokeCommand) as requiring internet access to ensure proper execution conditions.
- Updated CommandManager to log rate limiting warnings only for meaningful wait times, avoiding misleading messages.
- Enhanced WxCommand to support a new "alerts" keyword for fetching weather alerts, with special handling for alert data.
- Improved alert fetching logic to differentiate duplicate special statements and prioritize alerts based on severity and urgency.
- Added methods for compactly formatting alerts and abbreviating city names for better display in responses.
