Version 1.5

- Updating is now much fast in most instances. It was taking a long time to download and parse the forecast information, so now it goes ahead and displays the weather while it is downloading the forecast. Obviously if you don't live in the US, no forecast was available, so you won't get any speed increase. But if you do live in the US, I can't emphasize how much faster it is! Wow! I wish I had some sort of funny accent so that my "wow" would convey the amazement I feel; perhaps my telling you that I wish I could convey my amazement will convey my amazement.
- No more error messages! BWeather is now stubborn; it keeps trying to get the information until it gets it; it won't give up unless you do; I am not responsible for you giving up on life.
- BWeather now works as a replicant.
- BWeather also now accepts color drops. This feature was really needed for replicant mode. Note: I performed some sketchy programming to make this work. When I couldn't find the documentation I wanted, I started copying hex values. Sketchy sketchy programming.
- Fixed an itty bitty bug that would make double clicking to open the info window not work as you would like it to. It should now. If it doesn't, I would suggest beating me with a metal bat. I would not enjoy this, but it may be what you need to do to live with yourself. I can respect that, and sue you for it.
- Fixed tab ordering problem in preferences.
- This release is brought to you with a big thanks to Robert Burtcher and Nathan Whitehorn for compiling the binaries. Thanks you guys, you rock.

- Fixed a bug that made BWeather slaughter the deskbar (and I mean SLAUGHTER) on PPC's. Last release was my first PPC release, so I'm quite frankly amazed it worked at all. Thanks to Peter Schultz for pointing out my utter ignorance (and embarrassing me to the point that I must put his name on my list... my "to kill" list. It's a bit like my "to do" list I have for BWeather, only a lot more sinister.)
- Peter added a make file for compiling BWeather. If you like make files, and have been waiting to compile your very own copy of BWeather, now is the time to act.
- You now have control over the locations you see in the preferences. Open ~/config/settings/BWeather_locations with your favorite text editor, and you can have all kinds of silly location adding fun.
- I removed the proxy server settings from the preferences. The code is still there, just commented out. In short, it doesn't work. When BONE comes out, I'll write my own HTTP code and it will support proxy servers correctly. Until then, I apologies to everyone who is behind a proxy server.
- Cleaned up how the contextual menu works. Holding down the mouse button, right clicking, cnt-clicking, they all work. Yeah, that's right. I'm the pimp dady.
- Changed the labels on the Update Frequency in the preferences to be more clear. Left is less, right is more. Go all the way to the left (0 minutes) and it won't update at all.
- BWeather will now just draw a blank icon if it can't find a better icon instead of a planet with a strike through it (although it still will draw the planet if BWeather couldn't find any information for your area). This will help a lot of people in Europe.

- "Last Updated" changed to "METAR Time", and now proporly reflects the time at which the server last updated it's information from your area.
- Ther is now only one Missouri and one Montana, instead of two Missouri's and no Montana's (thanks Larry).
- PPC version now available. The hero today is Jeremy for a PPC regex.
- Better display of temperatures less than -9 or more than 99 (thanks Gregor).

- Uses the R5 deskbar replicant API, so BWeather will automatically place itself in the deskbar after restarts (thanks Jason). Be sure to delete old versions of BWeather; it may cause problems if you don't.
- No longer crashes when loading a few places in California.
- Setting an update speed of over half an hour now works.
- The preference file is now version specific.
