Release v3.0.0

Three.js renderer with performance optimisations

This release migrates the entire rendering stack to Three.js (WebGL) and applies significant GPU shader optimisations to the cloud, fog and smog effects.

Performance improvements

  • Clouds – FBM octaves reduced from 6 → 4; domain-warp chain simplified from 5 FBM calls to 3 (~2.5× GPU speedup, ~30 → 12 noise samples per fragment)
  • Fog – FBM octaves reduced from 5 → 3
  • Smog overlay – FBM octaves reduced from 4 → 3

Moon fixes

  • Duplicate glow removed – createStarsEffect previously rendered two overlapping glow meshes for the moon; the redundant full-screen edge-glow plane is removed
  • Distance-based angular size – when moon_distance_entity is configured the moon disc scales proportionally to 384 400 km / actual distance (clamped ±20%), making it visibly larger at perigee and smaller at apogee

Code quality

  • getMoonPosition() now reads moon_distance_entity and returns distanceKm
  • init() refactored – removed ~65 lines of duplicated updateWeather() logic
  • Dead config option stars_require_moon removed

Upgrade

  1. Update via HACS (or re-download fork_u-weather_aware.js)
  2. Restart Home Assistant or hard-refresh (Ctrl+F5)
  3. Optionally add moon_distance_entity in the editor for dynamic moon sizing
