Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 15 years and 7 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

Last month I added a small enhancement to Galleon’s weather app that allowed for a user-selectable range for the radar image (instead of using the default 600-mile one). I published my source code changes and the new jar file here on my blog.

Now earlier this month, jtkohl released Galleon 2.5.3 which contained a fix for the original radar image bug in that started back in July (one I had also attempted to fix on my own). Well, since I didn’t put my code changes into the SourceForge project, my range selection enhancement was obviously not included in the new release and my modified jar file didn’t work properly anymore. After pointing this out to John, he was nice enough to add me to Galleon’s developer list on SourceForge which gave me access to make changes to the code repository.

I hadn’t used CVS in a long while, so I took some time this evening to re-familiarize myself with it and how SourceForge uses it for repository control. Once I was comfortable with that, I checked out a copy of the code, re-applied my changes, and checked them back in. I didn’t rebuild the entire package, but now the next time a new version is built, my changes should be included.

In the meantime, you can download my weather.jar to replace the one that comes with 2.5.3 or check out my code changes directly in CVS:

• Weather.java rev 1.27
• WeatherConfiguration.java rev 1.4
• WeatherData.java rev 1.25
• WeatherOptionsPanel.java rev 1.7
