Hello All, 
As many of you have noticed, GeyserTimes.org recently underwent a facelift.  Along with the new look, several other oft-requested features were added.  Here are the highlights: 

* Note structure changed to be based on datetimes rather than just a date, can be observations at a point in time or over a range of times 

* Notes are now easier to find--they are displayed in logbook view and on the geyser page 

* New search bar for geysers and historical dates makes it easier to find what you're looking for 

* Home page logbook view now automatically refreshes 

* Data logger temperature charting and archived temperature files for download 

* Added a site tour for new visitors 

* Ugly old prediction display replaced by pretty Gantt chart format 
* Entering mulitple day's worth of eruptions is now easier: the multi-entry page has been revamped to handle multiple dates 

* Ability to store eruptions to the accuracy of seconds (rather than to the minute) (multi-entry only) 


***IMPORTANT*** 
If you have the GT Android App, it must be updated to version 2.0.0 .  The old version will cease to receive any new data or submit data. 
*********** 

In addition, for you researcher and programmer-types, V3 of the GT API has been made public.  This allows programmatic access to the eruption and notes database.  I will be improving the documentation and sending out more information over the winter. 

We're still working out a few kinks.  Thank you to all who have submitted bug reports thus far.

Big thanks also to Will Boekel for all of his work in making this update possible.

Thanks, 
Jake Young
