Newest release captures all previous feature updates except where noted

Weather Update 12/12/2022

Weather services for prediction, historical and evapotranspiration have been updated to use Apple WeatherKit. The previous service darksky.net was acquired by Apple and has end-of-life in March 2023.

The weather services are similar but are not identical. There will likely be some differences in the weather forecasts in your area. The calculated evapotranspiration values are very close to each other and over time should provide similar results.
