Feature update.

Changes: Rather than trying to be all things for everybody for all weather stations for all locations, Meteo is now geared to be specific the particular weather service selected.

Each user will needs an API key for each weather source so the usage for one person doesn't infringe on another.

Also the Input City Name is specific to the service. For example WeatherUnderground will require IL/NAPERVILLE where the Input city for TheWeather.com would be 157281. Experimentation with search city names will be required.

A new Display City field will be used to provide a "pretty" output display.

All except for Yahoo require individual API keys for each service so users don't step on each other - See the preference pane for additional information

TheWeather.com is forecast only, no current weather.

We're working on a new fix for city search. Please stay tuned for a new release.

City search broken, fixes

Since Meteo's lead developer is currently busy and has little time to work on the program, a huge problem – the inability to search for and add new cities – has remained unfixed for a fairly long time. While there currently is no "official" fix to the problem, a member of the Meteo user community has come forward with a small "patching" application that will allow the search function to work again. You can find this utility, called Fix Meteorologist, on MacUpdate. The Meteo team does not endorse this patch in any way, but we wanted to publicize it so that users (especially new ones) can use the app and not just give up on it (since it was essentially impossible to add new cities). A special thanks goes out to Diamond Software for coming up with the patch and making it available. [ Discuss... ]

Small updates

Some new screenshots have been posted online for those of you who want to see what you're getting before you download it. In addition, an Intel-native build (Universal Binary) is in the works. If you'd like to help out with this effort, please let us know! If you have submitted a bug at some point, we also ask you to check its status and close it if the problem has gone away or been otherwise resolved. Thanks! [ Discuss... ]

Trackers cleaned up

After some quiet time on the website, lensovet has re-emerged and has undertaken a thorough cleaning of the Bug and Feature Request trackers. If you submitted an item, please visit it to view updated information (if you haven't received an email already).

The webpage has been expanded a bit. I have added the FAQ page, which is a bit nicer than the Doc version at this point. A new navigation box sits on the left side of the page as well.

In addition, a screenshot has been added to the Screenshots section of the SF project area.

The much-anticipated FAQ is now available. You can find it in the Docs section of the SourceForge project area. The document will shortly be added to the Meteo homepage and will also become a part of the next Meteo release.
