New in sWeather 1.8.0 Build 1 (Feb 1, 2019)
- Reduced the number of times the TimezoneDB API was queried.
New in sWeather 1.7.9 Build 1 (Jan 29, 2019)
- Statusbar icons were missing.
New in sWeather 1.7.8 Build 1 (Jan 26, 2019)
- New metric windspeed option to use meters per second instead of the kilometers per hour default.
- Rearranged the Options dialog a bit.
- Hopefully made the menu and button icons work properly in both Windows XP and Windows 7+. 32-bit colour must be enabled in your Windows display options.
- Fixed the titlebar not always displaying the time.
New in sWeather 1.7.7 Build 1 (Jan 26, 2019)
- Fixed speed issue when getting weather data. It was my fault and not the new API.
- Fixed 5 & 10 day forecast data not showing for some users.
- "Minimize to tray" option is back. I must have erroneously deleted it in the last build.
- Pressure reading wasn't correct for imperial values.
New in sWeather 1.7.6 (Jan 26, 2019)
- 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.
- 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.
- Added menu option to display raw weather data.
- Added tooltips to statusbar icons.
- Option to break location menu into multiple columns.
- 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.
- Right-click clipboard context menu was broken.
- Fixed an extra line in one of the tray tooltips.
New in sWeather 1.7.5 (May 1, 2018)
- Sunrise/Sunset times displayed in 24-hour time now have a leading zero, if
- necessary. (Thanks, Martin, E.)

New in sWeather 1.7.3 Build 1 (Mar 27, 2018)
- Added an option to delay a number of seconds before the intial request for weather data is made. (Thanks, J. Agam)

New in sWeather 1.6.9 Build 1 (Jun 14, 2017)
- "Full forecast" links were broken. (Thanks, Midnight Rambler)
New in sWeather 1.6.8 Build 1 (Sep 5, 2016)
- Fixed location searching which was broken by yet more changes in the Yahoo! API.
New in sWeather 1.6.7 Build 1 (Aug 17, 2016)
- Added an "Add location" button to the Options dialog
- Added four new larger tray temperature themes:
- Simple Black Large
- Simple Black Large (Filled)
- Simple White Large
- Simple White Large (Filled)
New in sWeather 1.6.6 Build 1 (Jun 5, 2016)
- Small cosmetic change. Made the statusbar say "Last provider update was at: " to, hopefully, reduce confusion as to when the weather data was last updated by Yahoo!. Currently, that seems to be every two hours
New in sWeather 1.6.5 Build 1 (Jun 5, 2016)
- Added a new link on the main form to go directly to the radar page of the currently selected location.
- Changed the "Full forecast: Click here" link to "Links: Full forecast"
- It doesn't look like the old API access is coming back so I've removed the option added in v1.6.3.
New in sWeather 1.6.4 Build 1 (Apr 18, 2016)
- It appears that Yahoo! have actually killed access to the old API so I've now made the "Use old API" option not the default. I'll leave the option in for the time being but will probably take it out in a future release unless Yahoo! bring back access to the old API)
New in sWeather 1.6.3 Build 1 (Apr 4, 2016)
- Due to Yahoo!-realted issues with the new API, I've added a workaround option to use the old API. This option is enabled by default. That said, while the older API seems to be much more reliable, I cannot guarantee how long Yahoo! will make it available. Maybe this workaround will buy enough time for Yahoo! to get their stuff together regarding the new API. Please note that the data is slightly different between the two APIs and that the "Full forecast" link doesn't appear to provide proper links when using the old API.
- Prettied up the Options dialog with some icons.
- Made the main form display missing data more elegantly.
New in sWeather 1.6.2 Build 1 (Apr 4, 2016)
- Added option to use configured location names instead of the location names provided by the Yahoo! Weather API.

New in sWeather 1.5.4 Build 1 (Dec 15, 2014)
- Added 'Feels like' temp to the tray tooltip.
