Release: sWeather (tray-based weather app)
skwire:
Thanks for the bug reports, all, and welcome to DonationCoder for the first-time posters.
The bloody frustrating thing is that the data bugs are actually API bugs on Yahoo!'s side, i.e., they're not sWeather bugs. Of course, some I can fix with math (Feels Like temp always reporting in Fahrenheit, for instance) but what happens if Yahoo! fix their side? Any math fix I implemented would then bork things up again. The sunrise/sunset issue is, again, a data issue on their side. Though, I should be able to fix this one so that it displays properly even if they end up fixing their side of things.
@Dogmeat: Regarding the titlebar timestamp, it uses a different API at https://timezonedb.com/. Are you able to reach this site? The feature seems to work fine for me.

I see....
Now that you mention, on the status bar it says, when I hove the mouse on the Feels like: Converted feels like 147 F when it shows 64 C
Same with pressure: Converted barometer 982.00 in and steady.

If just calling a few APIs are this much fun just imagine a few years from now when most everything will run in the cloud! Ughh. :)

v1.6.0 - 2016-03-28
! Several fixes related to bad or different data coming from the new Yahoo!
API.
- Barometric pressure readings should now be correct. Hey, I learned
what a hectopascal is. Thanks, Yahoo!. =\
- "Feels Like" temp should now be correct when using metric units.
- Fixed Sunrise/Sunset times missing a trailing zero. WTH, Yahoo!?
