> What is xfce4-weather-plugin?
> =============================
>
> This panel plugin shows the current temperature and weather condition.
>
> Website:
>    http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin
>
>
> Release notes for 0.8.0
> =======================
> - Migrate to libxfce4ui (bug #7956).
> - Better handling of vertical and deskbar modes (bug #8560).
> - Fix adjusting label text size to panel size.
> - Fix scrollbox scroll direction in vertical mode.
> - Major rewrite: Migrate to yr.no API instead of weather.com (bug
> #8105)
>    The plugin now uses data from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute,
>    which is a bit different and forced a redesign of the summary
>    window and more logic for computing the values.
>    This rewrite means the hassle with the expiring license keys is
> finally
>    gone, and the plugin shouldn't stop working suddenly, as API changes
>    are announced quite some time before they become active.
>    Forecasts for up to 10 days are provided, depending on the location.
>    The location is defined by latitude and longitude, the actual name
>    is only used for presentation.
> - Switch to the new GeoIP service at geoip.xfce.org, the old one has
>    stopped working correctly quite some time ago.
> - Automatically set system of measurement depending on the GeoIP
>    country code.
> - Fix wrong location search results (bug #8832).
> - Enlarge the search dialog. It's now capable of showing 10 or more
>    results instead of only 2 or 3.
> - Nice error message in summary window when no location was set or
>    when there's no data available.
> - Make left click toggle the forecast window (bug #8805)
> - Optimized update intervals (downloading data and presentation).
>    This should also fix update issues after suspend/resume.
> - Add move label up/down buttons to config dialog.
> - Add shortcuts to the widgets in the config dialog.
> - Add shortcuts for accessing the notebook pages in the forecast
> window.
> - Fix compilation warnings, possible null pointer errors, memory leaks,
>    hardcoded values, make more strings translatable.
>
> This version concludes the migration work started by Colin Leroy (see
> bug #8105). It uses a new, free data source (met.no) for the weather
> data and has other important changes and fixes, so the version number
> has been bumped from 0.7.4 to 0.8.0.
>
> While it should work fine for most people, there are still some known
> issues, so please have a look at README and TODO before filing bugs.
>
> Thanks to all the people who provided patches for the migration to
> met.no and other fixes.
>
> Enjoy,
> Harald
