minor feature:
Due to changes in the Yahoo! weather API, we have switched to usinglibgweather.
This brings with it several interface changes:
Instead of using WOEID or ZIP Code to determine your location, we
Now use latitude and longitude. You may (optionally) useGeoClue
to find this information in the preferences GUI by clicking the
"Find Coords" button.
Since libgweather uses icons that follow theXDG Icon Naming Specification,
we have renamed our icons accordingly (and deleted several which
Would never appear as they did not correspond with any of the names
in the specification). You may also use any other icon themes which
Follow this specification using the --icondir command-line
Option, the icondir option in the configuration file, or by
Clicking the "Icon directory" button in the preferences GUI.

minor feature:
New Yahoo! API gives us bad xml pretty frequently, which was causing
Frequent segfaults. We display an error instead.
If we get an error, we try again in 1 minute.
If we manually refresh the display, the countdown to the next automatic
Refresh is reset to the default interval. (Previously, if it was set to
Refresh every 60 minutes and we manually refreshed it after 10 minutes,
it would refresh again after 50 minutes. Now it will refresh again after
60 minutes.).

The configuration file has been moved to the GNUstep Defaults directory
(likely /GNUstep/Defaults/wmforecast -- note this is the same directory as.
The Window Maker configuration files). You may also store system-wide
Configuration in, e.g., /etc/GNUstep/Defaults/wmforecast. This move takes
Advantage of several built-in WINGs functions.
