- Yet another refinement to the recent enhancement for U.S. Locations: added a new user setting "report age"; find this new setting under Settings -> Retrieve -> Locations - United States -> Fire, Other; the default value for report age is
- 60 days; as with the "distance maximum" setting this new option provides some more flexibility in terms of how many incident reports for each U.S. Location are retrieved from the InciWeb service; many incidents such as large wildfires
- can be ongoing, long-term events which may exist for many months beyond the original date it started; the report age setting gives you the ability to determine the maximum number of days you wish to have Earth Alerts track active,
- ongoing incidents based on the last time the report was updated on InciWeb
Veranderingen voor v2013.1.32 - v2013.1.36
- Fire, Other Minor bug fixes to recent enhancement for U.S. Locations: fixed the incorrect
- date/time stamps indicating when the InciWeb report was last updated; other
- minor formatting changes to the report as it appears in Earth Alerts
- Earthquake All earthquake screens: small improvement to the "News" option, specifically with
- Google News...now provides a more specific default search string based on the
- currently-selected earthquake event; example: searches on the specific phrase
- "MINDANAO PHILLIPINES EARTHQUAKE" instead of generic search "EARTHQUAKE"
Veranderingen voor v2013.1.22 - v2013.1.32
- Fire, Other
- Changes for U.S. Locations only: significant enhancement with how information is retrieved and processed from the InciWeb system; changes better differentiate between types of fires (wildfires, wildland fires, prescribed fires) and other types of incidents occasionally reported on Inciweb such as floods. This enhancement also includes a new user setting: "distance maximum"; find this new setting under Settings -> Retrieve -> Locations - United States -> Fire,
- Other;the default value for distance maximum is 150 miles; this value is applied for each U.S. Location you have setup; the benefit of this enhancement is that the data retrieval process should be faster overall (the InciWeb site has always been notoriously SLOW!); the incident reports shown for each U.S Location are now more relevant since they are now based on latitude/longitude values -- this works similar to how earthquake events are tracked in Earth Alerts; the distance value is calculated between each U.S. Location and an active incident reported on InciWeb such as a wildfire
- Fire
- Changes for U.S. Overview and U.S. Locations: eliminated all UI references to "Wildland Fire" and replaced with simply "Fire"

- Earth Alerts; also changed the sound settings to play an alert sound for active tornado warning and weather warnings that exist for ANY U.S. location not just the primary (first) U.S. location
Veranderingen voor v2012.1.144 - v2012.1.152

- Earthquake
- Yet another bug fix related to retrieval of the Location Map image for each earthquake event (the URL values being stored in the user data file were not correct); additional tweaks designed to improve retrieval of a Shake Map image for significant earthquake events (if available on the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program website)
