A proper first run on the Mac
The Mac app finally introduces itself: a real setup window, a notification checklist, and a spotlight pointing at the menu bar so you can find it afterwards.
A menu bar app has a specific problem: once it launches, it is a tiny icon in a row of tiny icons, and a fair number of people never found it again.
So the Mac app now opens a real setup window on first run — pick your places, walk a checklist of the notifications worth turning on, take a short tour. And when you finish, a spotlight points straight at Forecast Bar in your menu bar, because knowing the app installed correctly is not the same as knowing where it went.
Radar picked up keyboard shortcuts and proper zoom controls in the same release, and a stack of smaller Mac annoyances went with it: the quit prompt on wake, the Weather Alerts toggle that wouldn't stay on, the menu bar sitting blank at login while the network came up.
