Emacs frontend for Igor Chubin's wttr.in weather service https://git.cjennings.net/emacs-wttrin/atom?h=v0.3.0 2026-04-04T19:17:23+00:00 2026-04-04T19:17:23+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T19:17:23+00:00 urn:sha1:a77a7b86f45ae96ff1802ea6f8b87dafd46b17b0 Dynamic mode-line tooltip, staleness dimming, location casing fix, debug guard refactor, expanded test suite (307 tests), and multiple bug fixes since 0.2.3. 2026-04-04T19:14:39+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T19:14:39+00:00 urn:sha1:88a66244fd613662ee7d5d3a0ad4394cfafdb521 Move define-obsolete-variable-alias before its referent defcustom to fix "alias should be declared before its referent" warning. Add defvar for wttrin--force-refresh in wttrin-debug.el so the byte-compiler knows the dynamic variable is intentional. 2026-04-04T19:07:29+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T19:07:29+00:00 urn:sha1:583ba34888e1c82da1f2bffbc913477c2e6a6df6 wttr.in updates its data roughly every 10 minutes (max-age=600). Add a note to both refresh interval defcustoms so users know not to poll more aggressively than the service can provide. 2026-04-04T18:51:16+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T18:51:16+00:00 urn:sha1:faddcefa98c41356d8fd66d561f1e45453b19d05 Rewrite sections that read like generated text: replace clinical descriptions with conversational language matching the existing voice, cut padding phrases ("proactively", "several aspects", "what's happening"), and trim the debug section down to essentials. 2026-04-04T18:47:54+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T18:47:54+00:00 urn:sha1:c856f697718a3a0a92dbf84a913d56a4ce9c4944 Add: staleness display in weather buffer, stale mode-line dimming, wttrin-clear-cache command, wttrin-mode-line-startup-delay option, minimum Emacs version (24.4). Fix: font height default was listed as 110 (actually 130), debug output example didn't match current log format, manual debug setup section was a duplicate of the use-package section. 2026-04-04T18:38:57+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T18:38:57+00:00 urn:sha1:8f89387201ed0cc7ddc5a758079a52a2ce12fe68 Remove obvious comments that restate what the code does ("save debug data if enabled", "temporarily allow editing", "align buffer to top"). Add comments explaining non-obvious decisions: why risky-local-variable is needed, why user-agent is curl, what wttr.in format codes mean, what the emoji extraction regex matches, and why after-init-time matters. Fix stale docstrings that no longer match the no-op stub pattern. 2026-04-04T18:27:39+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T18:27:39+00:00 urn:sha1:0bbed459fb60f1b9ebe0e137527aa44b75c4835e A debug command should show what the API currently returns, not a cached copy. Bind wttrin--force-refresh to t so the fetch always bypasses the cache. 2026-04-04T18:26:10+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T18:26:10+00:00 urn:sha1:de99a2930bbe65d7c2ea04656caa18823068c182 The emoji face (dimmed/normal) was frozen at the last update-display call, but the tooltip computes staleness dynamically. Between refreshes, data could cross the stale threshold — tooltip says "Stale" while the emoji is still normal. Track the rendered staleness state. When the tooltip detects a transition, trigger a re-render so the emoji dimming matches. 2026-04-04T18:24:01+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T18:24:01+00:00 urn:sha1:752e2f825b1ee3eb513e27f2c03bcaef30eec767 float-time was captured in the outer let* before the async fetch. The callback used this stale value, making cache entries appear slightly older than they are. Move the float-time call into the callback so the timestamp reflects when the data actually arrived. 2026-04-04T18:21:46+00:00 Craig Jennings c@cjennings.net 2026-04-04T18:21:46+00:00 urn:sha1:821c7c1ded6bef400dcfda9aec27832f116ce369 string-match modifies global match data as a side effect. A predicate should not do this. Use string-match-p instead.
