Description Jani Välimaa 2020-02-23 11:45:14 CET

According to met.no LocationforecastLTS API will be end-of-lifed in the coming months and replaced by a new 2.0 version.
https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecastlts/1.3/documentation#Product_is_being_end-of-lifed%2C_2019-11-07

The xfce4-weather-plugin shows a warning message in details tab:
    Met.no LocationforecastLTS API states that this version
    of the webservice is deprecated, and the plugin needs to be
    adapted to use a newer version, or it will stop working within
    a few months.
    Please file a bug on https://bugzilla.xfce.org if no one
    else has done so yet.

New xfce4-weather-plugin version 0.10.1 fixes the issue.

Tried this update on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, on 32-bit and 64-bit hardware.

On the 32-bit hardware, the weather plug-in has been installed for a while, several months at least. Before the update, the Details tab showed the warning message. After the update, the message was gone, and the plug-in continues to look like it's working as it should. FWIW, this system is still running the 5.4.17 kernel, as its old Radeon graphics react badly with kernel-desktop 5.5.4 as it is now.

On the 64-bit system, the current weather plug-in was newly installed after getting all pending updates, including Kernel-desktop 5.5.4. When I ran the plug-in after configuring my location, it appeared to be working. However, when I checked the details tab, the warning message wasn't there. I'm going to assume the most likely reason for that is that the plug-in's history isn't old enough to generate the warning yet.

After the update, the plug-in continued to operate, and the warning is still not there.

Looks to me like this is OK for both arches. Validating. Needs advisory information.
