Release notes for 0.8.4
=======================
This release is a stable, bug-fix release, but it also contains a few
new features, see the detailed change log below. Note that 0.8 is now in
maintenance mode, which means no new features will be added, and it will
only receive bug fixes and API updates (as long as feasible and not
requiring a complete rewrite). A new version 0.9 will eventually appear,
similar to the existing plugin but with more exciting features and
improvements, using openweathermap as weather provider and gtk3, but
development has not even started yet.

Many thanks to Eric Koegel, Issa and Greg Dietsche for contributing
patches, to various people helping with testing and to the many people
spending a lot of work translating the plugin into your local language.

Enjoy!
