v 2.3.0• Added a new chart color type: Color Coded, which has a sliding color scale for most observation types. It's also the new default. If you want, you can switch back to the old default of Green/Red (or use the multi-color theme) in Settings -> Appearance. Feel free to let me know if you have feedback on this change at contact@buoypro.com
• Added Wave Components display for swells & wind waves in the main app on certain buoy stations that support it. If you're customizing the Station tab, the section is also called "Wave Components" (If you've already customized the tab, you'll need to add this section in your customization to see it.) Wave components are available for many buoys that report wave conditions, but not all of them.

Observation types vary between stations, and sometimes throughout the day. All widgets with the same unique id will switch types at the same time, so if you want them to work independently, configure the unique id on your desired widgets. *Widgets require BuoyPro Premium.

The default multi-color themes are inspired by Apple Weather's charts, and may be changed in the future. If you customize the colors, your customizations will not be overwritten if/when the default multi-color theme is updated.
