The plugin itself does not send emails.\r\n- Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0) and Copernicus DEM attribution in applicable results and exports.\r\n- Improved radar coverage handling.\r\n- Renamed \"Predicted rain fade\" to \"Estimated rain fade\" for more accurate terminology.\r\n\r\n\ud83d\udcca DATA TRANSPARENCY\r\n\r\nVelorona distinguishes between:\r\n- Observed\r\n- Model-derived\r\n- Calculated\r\n- Assumed\r\n- Reference data (DEM)\r\n\r\nData source, classification, coverage, and applicable limitations matter when interpreting results.\r\n\r\n\ud83c\udf10 DATA COVERAGE\r\n\r\nPublic infrastructure records are country-specific. Analytical capabilities are worldwide.\r\n\r\nTerrain clearance, rain exposure, and satellite geometry can be performed worldwide using supported data sources, selected records, geographic points, and user-provided layers.\r\n\r\nWeather stations and ECCC radar are Canada-specific. Other regions use available model-based weather data.\r\n\r\n\ud83d\udce6 REQUIREMENTS\r\n\r\n- QGIS 4.0 or newer.\r\n- aei-link-clearance 0.3.x.\r\n- aei-microwave-link-exposure 0.2.x.\r\n\r\nBoth supporting libraries must be available in QGIS's own Python environment. Velorona checks dependency versions at startup and provides installation guidance when needed.\r\n\r\nDeveloped by AID Edge Inc.\r\nWebsite: https://velorona.ai\r\nMap: https://map.velorona.ai\r\n\r\nRelease: 1.1.11", "external_deps": null, "download_url": "https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/velorona/version/1.1.11/download/"}
