2010-03-19 13:30:22 UTC Jeremy Stanley * (all): Updated copyright notices for 2010. * FAQ, INSTALL, LICENSE, README: Reformatted as ReStructuredText. * FAQ: Updated to mention alternative sources for NOAA's stations list, in case the recommended one is unavailable (thanks Celejar!). * NEWS: Renamed to ChangeLog and refactored into GNU format. * weather: Added some comment padding between the shebang line and the copyright, so that distributions wishing to carry patches which modify the interpreter path don't have to refresh them every year when the copyright line changes in their context. * weather, weather.1, weatherrc.5, weather.py: Added experimental alert, atypes, aurl and zones options to support retrieval, filtering and formatting of unexpired NWS severe weather advisories. * weather.1, weatherrc.5: Minor cosmetic fixes to option descriptions. * weather.1, weatherrc.5, weather.py: Added imperial and metric options to filter/convert display units (thanks to Andrew Carter for this suggestion!). * weather.py: Fixed a METAR parsing error which would trigger an IndexError exception if the NWS didn't have a station description on file (thanks to Celejar for reporting the bug!). Fixed METAR title line parsing to look for human-readable city and state in the first line--previous code stopped showing the city name after NWS made slight format mods. Upped the version to 1.5. * weatherrc: Additional PIE (Saint Petersburg, FL), PNC (Ponca City, OK), and PNS (Pensacola, FL) aliases. 2008-07-13 07:49:02 UTC Jeremy Stanley * (all): Updated the copyright years for 2008 on some of the files in the current release and added a copyright statement to any files previously lacking one. * LICENSE: Replaced the previous BSD-like license with the one used by the OpenBSD project (modeled after the Internet Software Consortium's, a two-clause BSD license removing language made unnecessary by the Berne convention); this new license is functionally identical to the old one, just more terse and openly recognized. * weather: Clarified function parameters in calls from the wrapper script to ease future ABI changes in the underlying module. * weather, weather.py: Some extra comments were added to the source, indentation style was updated from tab characters to three-space, and lines longer than 79 columns were refactored or otherwise split. * weather.1, weather.5, weather.py: Added an flines option to allow the maximum number of forecast output lines to be shortened. Added furl and murl options to allow overriding of the default current conditions and forecast data retrieval URLs. Added a headers option to allow overriding the default list of header names for current conditions data filtering. Added a quiet option to suppress the preamble lines and indentation for both current conditions and forecast output. * weather.py: Replaced the hardcoded fallback default METAR station ID and forecast city/state abbreviation with error messages to minimize confusion when necessary values are omitted. Adjusted a couple of hard-coded error message strings to be consistent with the output format of the option_parser module. Switched from urllib to urllib2 for retrieving data, providing a simpler means to detect and report retrieval errors. Upped the version to 1.4. 2006-07-25 23:00:47 UTC Jeremy Stanley * FAQ: Update to clarify that specifying an id won't automatically provide a city and st to get the accompanying forecast. * weather: Provided a consistent means for relocating weather.py to a private location; thanks to Mark Tran for pointing out a conflict with pyweather in ArchLinux (and presumably other distros as well). * weather.py: Upped the version to 1.3. 2006-06-30 17:42:14 UTC Jeremy Stanley * FAQ, README: Updated for inclsuion of weather-util in Debian. * weather.py: Upped the version to 1.2. * weatherrc: Added more default aliases PAO and SJC (requested by Russ Allbery). 2006-04-18 04:33:21 UTC Jeremy Stanley * weather: Switched to "#!/usr/bin/env python" instead for portability. * weather.1, weather.5, weather.py: Implemented the --omit-forecast option to cancel --forecast. * weather.py: Calling with undefined aliases now throws an error and exits. Aliases, options and default overrides operate more logically. Upped the version to 1.1. * weatherrc: Added 214 standard aliases. 2006-03-26 17:08:52 UTC Jeremy Stanley * Initial release 1.0.
