2004-04-13: - fix some bugs in the X handling noticed under XFree86
>= 4.3
- let's call it 0.6.2
2003-11-23: - apply patch from Dave Serls:
* initialize some variables to prevent odd core-dumps
- apply patch by Michael G. Henderson to update GrabWeather
manual page
- apply patch from Dave Serls:
* allow user to specify timezone in hours-offset from UTC
* prepend information with location to allow user to easily
distinguish multiple instances of bbweather for different
location
- neatify some of the code
- cleanup Makefile to better work with GNU make and normal make
- html documentation now installs into the proper directory
While we're there, remove perl-buildlink and instead use
USE_PERL5= run
Changes since 0.4:
- if text is too long to fit into the window, let it scroll
from left to right. Caveat: all XEvents are queued during
scrolling, that is, one can not cycle by hand (right
mouse-button) until this cycle is over.
- bugfix: don't overwrite what's in the config file *unless*
specified on the command line (for example geometry)
- if the weather file does not contain 'Sky conditions'
skip 'conditions' when cycling
- when using 'metric' display, show wind-speed in kmh rather
than in knots
- initialize time to update to every 10 Minutes - used to be
uninitialized unless specified using '-u'.
bbweather is a tool which displays the current weather conditions
in an decorated window, simulating the look of the Blackbox toolbar
(Blackbox is a Windowmanager for X11). This tool is heavily based
on "bbdate" by John Kennis, almost 90% of the code (rough guess ;)
were taken over unaltered. Furthermore, bbweather was inspired by
wmWeather by Michael G. Henderson, from where I grabbed the
perl-script that fetches the weather-conditions from your local
station.
