Pressure display in 2 decimal places

I have just upgraded from beta 1.92 to 1.92 and noticed that pressure (hPa and mb) is displayed to two decimal points. It may always have been like this and I have just noticed. Is there any way of changing pressure readings in hPa or mb to a round number?

It's been like that for a long time for Davis stations, since someone pointed out that Davis stations supply an extra decimal place in the precision of their pressure readings (even if they don't display it on the console).
I've tried to use levels of precision for each item which are appropriate for the station in use, but I realised a while ago that I was fighting a losing battle in trying to 'police' the precision that people use. So at some point I will probably abdicate responsibility and allow the user complete control over the number of decimal places they display. Currently the only one you can change is to round wind speeds to a whole number.
