yaWP (Yet Another Weather Plasmoid) 0.4.5
(Plasmoid Binary)
Yet Another Weather Plasmoid.

There is nothing wrong with the ones that exist, I just wanted something more colorful.

This plasmoid belongs to other people, it would not be where it is without their help. See the README.

Please help with additional themes and translations, thanks.

For the latest unstable version:

svn co https://yawp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/yawp/trunk yawp

INSTALL NOTES

tar -jxf yawp*

cd yawp*

./install.sh

changelog:
0.4.5 (23 Mar 2013)

* Bugfix: Desktop mode is not reusing applet size from last session.

* Bugfix: yaWP crashes in systemtray with KDE 4.10

0.4.4 (17 Mar 2012)

* New desktop painter has been added. Yawp can be configured to use the traditional or the new one for desktop and/or for popup window.

* Panel painter has been rewritten

* Initialization stuff of yawp has been moved to init method, because yawp crashes on KDE 4.8 due to the usage of not initialized components.

* Usage of KMessageBox has been replaced within DlgAddCity, otherwise yawp crashes on KDE 4.8.5 (some earlier versions might be included as well).

Using KMessageBoxes within KConfigDialog (yawp settings dialog) still works as expected.

* Google ION has been removed, because Google does not support this service any longer.

* Updating and fixing translations

* Bugfix: yaWP did not update weatherdata periodically after hibernation - it is working now

0.4.3 (17 Apr 2012)

* Show current RealFeel temperature under current temperature (thanks to Alain Soucy)

* Non-modale city search dialog

* Implementing public slot configChanged() to behave like a standard plasmoid - yaWP can be configured from external programs (e.g.: javascript)

* changing internal handling of extender (KDE 4.8 only) - when plasmoid will be used in desktop mode extender is not used and will be destroyed, when plasmoid is moved to panel a new extender will be created

* little tweaks to horizontal panel layout, adding more spaces between icons

* Ukrainian translation updated (Thanks to Yuri Chornoivan)

0.4.2 (04 Jan 2012)

* Adapting yaWP to KDE 4.8

* ION AccuWeather is showing closer maps for cities of the United States.

* Workaround crashes in city search dialog in KDE >= 4.7.4

* Frech and Slovak trasnlation updated

* Fixes in Wunderground ION

* Fix double translation for Short day names

0.4.1 (03 Dec 2011)

* Add ability to open forecast in browser (if URL is provided by ION)

* ION wunderground is returning a sorted list of cities (airport stations are listed on top of list,

because in general terms this station type contains more weather information than the personal weather station type).

* ION Wunderground is supporting satellite maps as well

* ION accuweather is not using a config-file for satellite image mapping any longer (feature has been added in version 0.4.0

but I think this was a stupid idea). Satellite images will be hard coded mapped to location in ION.

* Translations updated (CZ, FR)

* Several little bug fixes - including geometry issues

0.4.0 (13 Nov 2011)

* Bugfix: text in animation area jumps up or down at start and at the end of animation

* applets painting methods has been extracted and rewritten, for re-use and hopefully the new painting methods are well structured

* yaWP supports externder items (in panel mode only) - extender item interacts with user like desktop mode.

In panel mode:

When user clicks on the applet (but not on the weather forecast icons) the extender pops up.

The behavior of the applet for clicking on the weather forecast icons can be configured in the config dialog on page "Panel"

option "Use interactive weather icons". When this option is checked the weather icon will toggle between day and night

(in case we have weather information for day and night) otherwise the extender will appear.

* Removes old files from cache directory $HOME/.cache/yawp on a regular base.

* The install script install.sh uses more CPU cores if available. Could be override by -j script option.

* Turkish translation (thanks to Hasan Kiran)

* Czech, Slovak and French translation updated

* Changing unit system in config dialog will force auto-update.

* AccuWeather will use a config file for satellite mapping.

0.3.6 (12 Dec 2010)

* Traverse through all locations periodically (optional)

* Page 'Settings' from config-dialog has been redesigned to gain more space

* Fixing update bug in Wunderground Ion.

* Algorithm that is doing the text layout for the details area has been simplified

* Fix API breakage in 4.5.2/4.6

0.3.5 (8 Oct 2010)

* Fix compilation error on KDE 4.5.2

* Patching ions to work with new weather-data-engine, thanks to Raymond Wooninck

* Fixing legal issues (The source code of the standard ions used as the base)
