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:
Install version 0.20
Reboot internet tablet
Activate OMweather settings and select "Enable station from GPS:" box in the "Locations" tab
Run Maemo Mapper or Map application included in OS2008 and wait for a GPS-fix
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.
