New unstable version of Other Maemo Weather (version 0.20) is released with exciting new functionality. This version is not stable so please report any bugs you found on it to bug tracker in the OMweathers garage page. You can get this version only from the download section in the OMweathers garage page or extras-devel repository.

Now OMweather can be set to receive weather station location automatically when ever user has an active GPS-connection on her tablet. Idea for this is based to Jussi Kukkonen's idea Why GeoClue Matters, based originally to ideas from Henri Bergius, Tuomas Kuosmanen and Andrew Turner.

To enable GPS-functionality:
  1. Install version 0.20
  2. Reboot internet tablet
  3. Activate OMweather settings and select "Enable station from GPS:" box in the "Locations" tab
  4. Run Maemo Mapper or Map application included in OS2008 and wait for a GPS-fix
  5. New weather station can be found on a "Locations" tab after two minutes.

Version 0.20 has now also it's own help page in the tablet. It can be opened using tablets help application (My selection/Help) or touching small question mark on top right corner of OMweathers settings window. Default icon set is changed to Glance (see picture) and it's made by Andrew Jilin.

Other new features in this version are:
  • Added finger friendlier way to change weather station
  • Possibility to change weather station order in the settings window
  • "Swap hi/low temperature" setting is moved to other tab in settings window
  • Confirmation dialog is added for station deletion
  • Added new icons to show Moon phase and it's shown only in the first icon
  • Italian translation has been added
  • New "Combination" layout added (see picture)

Some bugs have been also fixed:
  • Fixed error: while station data xml file is absence, displaying weather data is garbage
  • Fixed error while calculate days offset
  • Fixed error with last icon displaying, when visible items less then 10
  • Fixed error with displaying "Feel like" parameter

Next release (version 0.20.1) should be ready on 25. April.
