Version 0.12.0 (2025-01-25)

Changes since 0.11.2:
Support for OpenWeatherMap's Expert plan is added.

The request limit for Weatherstacks's free plan is adjusted to 100 requests permonth, since they changed the limit from 1000 to 100 requests.

There have been a few changes in Weatherbit's plans, and this release reflects those changes:

• Support for Weatherbit's Hobbyist plan is removed, because Weatherbit does not offer that plan anymore.
• The Starter plan is renamed to Standard and the limit is changed from 50000 requests per day to 25000 requests per day.
• The Developer plan is renamed to Plus and the limit is changed from 500000 requests per day to 250000 requests per day.
• The Advanced plan is renamed to Business and the limit is changed from 5000000 requests per day to 2000000 requests per day.

simdjson, the library used for JSON parsing, has been updated from version 3.11.1 to version 3.11.6.
