v0.4.0

v0.4.0 🧠 Smarter forecasts that adapt automatically

Version v0.4.0 takes SMART dataset selection to the next level.

SILAM Pollen now monitors which forecast data is actually available and can automatically adapt when the preferred dataset is temporarily incomplete.

This means:

• fewer gaps during SILAM dataset updates,
• less manual dataset management,
• fewer unnecessary downloads,
• more stable and predictable pollen forecasts.

🗂️ Shared runs catalog manager

SILAM Pollen now uses a shared catalog manager for all configured locations.

Catalog information is cached and reused, reducing duplicate requests and providing a consistent view of the latest available SILAM data.

🧠 Coverage-aware SMART dataset management

SMART mode now manages datasets continuously while the integration is running.

If the preferred dataset cannot provide the required forecast range, SMART can:

• switch to another suitable dataset,
• keep the forecast updating automatically,
• return to the preferred dataset when new data becomes available.

🏷️ Dataset source tracking

Forecast data now keeps track of which dataset it came from.

This allows SILAM Pollen to combine data from multiple sources safely while preserving higher-priority forecast values.

🧩 Forecast completion from multiple datasets

When the preferred dataset does not provide the complete forecast window, SILAM Pollen can fill the missing period using other available datasets.

Only missing forecast data is added, without overwriting values already received from the primary source.

🌍 SILAM Northern Europe (v6.1)

The regional SILAM Northern Europe dataset has been updated to v6.1 and now includes all improvements introduced with the SILAM pollen v6.1 generation.

🗑️ Legacy datasets retired

The following legacy datasets are no longer available for SMART or manual selection:

• SILAM Europe (v6.0, legacy)
• SILAM Northern Europe (v5.9.1)

info

Existing integrations using these datasets are migrated automatically:

• SILAM Europe (v6.0) → SILAM Europe (v6.1)
• SILAM Northern Europe (v5.9.1) → SILAM Northern Europe (v6.1)

Manual dataset mode is preserved during migration, while existing SMART configurations remain in SMART mode.

The migration approach proposed in PR #23 was expanded to cover all supported legacy dataset replacements.

🩺 Safer and clearer setup

When a new integration is added, SILAM Pollen now checks whether the SILAM service and pollen catalogs are available.

The setup interface shows a clear status and provides localized guidance when the service, network connection, or selected location cannot be validated.
