TechTeacher:
Thanks.
skwire:
I haven't heard back from Yahoo! so I sent them another email. :-\
Drugwash:
@ TechTeacher: Sorry for not being able to help, I only follow a couple of tech boards (this one and AHK's).
@ skwire: They're probably swamped with h8er mail. :P ;D

I found another weather program called "YoWindow" and noticed they seem to utilize the National Weather Service. Would that be an option to use for your app as an alternative to Yahoo? I also found these other API's which might be able to help:
* Weather Underground: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/
* Forecast.Io: https://darksky.net/dev
skwire:
I've updated sWeather to work with the new API but I'd like to get a bit of testing done before releasing it fully. If you're up to it, make a backup of your sWeather folder and grab the interim build from here:

Please read the following changelog and let me know how this version works for you:
+ Added support for the new Yahoo! Weather API. The old API was retired on
2019-01-03. The new API seems slower than the previous one but I don't
know if it's because of the new OAuth requirement for this new API or
something else. Whatever...it works, so please be patient with it and
apologies for any inconvenience.
+ Hovering over the "Full forecast", "Radar", and "Powered by Yahoo!" links
shows their URL in the statusbar. (Thanks, Drugwash)
+ Right-clicking the "Full forecast", "Radar", and "Powered by Yahoo!" links
gives the option of copying the URL to the clipboard.
+ Added "Minimize to tray" option. (Thanks, Drugwash)
+ Added menu option to display raw weather data.
+ Added tooltips to statusbar icons.
* Eliminated dependencies on resources.dll and temp directory.
- Took out the WOEID search feature because the new API doesn't support that
currently. Had to go back to the old method of manually getting the WOEID
from the URL of a location on the main weather.yahoo.com website. Yuck,
what a travesty. >=[
! Right-click clipboard context menu was broken.
! Fixed an extra line in one of the tray tooltips. (Thanks, Drugwash)
