Update to the Weather DataEngine 'Ion' API

2009-05-16 Thread Andrew Coles
I'm just writing a few notes on the changes Shawn and I made to the Weather Ion API due to a bug where a dropped network connection would lead to uninitialised junk being sent to plasmoids. It was reported in the context of KDE 4.2, and though it can't be fixed there so easily, by hooking into

Hi Dotan, Thanks for your feedback on these applets. One of my main contributions in KDE is that of proof-reading - I'm on the British English translation team, and one of the main reasons it isn't done automatically is that it's 1% about putting the u back into colour and 99% about proof-rea

Nice work - it's good to see how many LOC one can save with libplasmaweather. Two questions: i) Geolocation is compulsary, so if it uses IP localisation I'll get the weather for 200 miles away. A manual override would be useful (i.e. the old behaviour). ii) The GPS geolocation backend does
