The Release of Core 4.1.0 with Marine Data and a new Heatmap Facelet

This minor core release brings several improvements, bug fixes and a lot of cool new features.

We added a new Marine Data Provider offering real-time tidal information, water temperature, wave heights and swell data. This is especially useful for sailors, surfers, fishermen and your next beach holiday.
The Weather Provider has been enhanced with additional air quality indexes EPA and DEFRA and actual ozone values, important for outdoor activities.
We also added new weather alert icons for better visibility of severe weather conditions.

A new Heatmap Facelet has been added to visualize time series data more effectively. This is a fully customizable data grid display like the contribution display of Github or in habit trackers. It’s a nice representation of hourly data like temperature, UV index, AQI etc.
The font handling was improved for better readability. We also added the DIN1451 font for clear text display, providing a clean, precise and aircraft-inspired look.

Several reported bugs have been fixed, including the video codec output issue, which lead to wrong colors on some watches like the OnePlus Watch 3 rendering a MPEG-4 stream.

The latest version 4.1.2 of the watchface is now available in the Google Play Store or via direct APK download.
The latest version 3.1.0 of the widget is now available in the Google Play Store or via direct APK download.
The latest version 1.0.8 of the Wear OS app is now available in the Google Play Store.
