Major changes

    • Currently supported conditions include "以上" for JMA tsunami height, "以上" and "雲に入る" for JMA plume height above crater, etc.
  • Add TTS support for JMA additional warning comments.
  • When viewing a past EEW, the map now draws the seismic wave circles at the issue time of the event with dashed lines.
  • Add settings for using compatibility map view. (Disabled by default on Android 9 or above, otherwise enabled)
  • Add font size settings.

Minor changes

  • Update the names of JMA tsunami points.
  • Add support for JMA max tsunami height observation condition "欠測".
  • Update the GIS data of CWA tsunami areas.
  • Update the GIS data of JMA earthquake information areas, tsunami areas, and intensity stations.
