libgweather is a weather library for the GNOME desktop. libgweather provides access to weather information from the net and is used by programs such as the weather report applet.

The library was previously part of the gnome-applets package and this release corresponds with the 2.21.3 release of gnome-applets. Since the last release of gnome-applets, the following changes have been made to libgweather:

- Locations.xml has been moved from gweather to libgweather and a pkg-config variable has been added to let applications find it.
- Units are now marked for translation.
- New functions to parse temperatures and wind speeds.
- Locations.xml fixes.

Installation:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system.

Running `configure' might take a while. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make' to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package.

4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
