  • [Privacy] The “Send weather data to Gadgetbridge” option was renamed “Broadcast my weather data to other apps” as any app can “pretend to be Gadgetbridge”. A confirmation dialog will appear to make the user confirm they fully understand the risks.
  • [Privacy] The “Send weather data to Gadgetbridge” (which is off by default, unless you enabled it) will be turned off on all devices on update to let users decide if they still want to enable it.
  • For sources not providing colors, we now make the color of the alert dynamic based on severity instead of always orange. This scale is the same as the one used by World Meteorological Organization and may differ with colors usually provided by your national provider.

More improvements will come in later versions (mostly on widgets).

Version 5.1.5 (2024-03-16)

Just a re-release of v5.1.4 to include some technical build adjustments to prepare for release in default F-Droid repo.

Translations

  • Translations updated

Version 5.1.4-beta (2024-03-16)

New features

  • We now have our own repo for F-Droid and Google Play flavors of Breezy Weather. If you want to switch from our current repo (Standard flavor) to a different flavor, you should remove the repo for the Standard flavor first to avoid getting updates for the wrong flavor. Link to Breezy Weather F-Droid repos

Weather sources

  • [World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Severe Weather] Added experimental support as secondary alert source. Translations are not supported (yet). Please report as soon as possible if you encounter a refresh error, making sure you mention the country of your location in the issue.
  • [ECCC] Add sunshine duration

  • [Recosanté] Fix refresh error on Friday

Improvements and fixes

  • Background weather update will now only process the first location, unless you have multi cities usage. This makes the process more green and efficient, and other secondary locations will automatically be updated when you open them instead (this means that if you don’t check these locations very often, it will no longer uselessly refresh them in the background). A document has been written to describe in details how the full weather update process work: https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather/blob/main/docs/UPDATES.md
  • Fix AccuWeather being the default weather source instead of automatic recommendations
  • Fix "Please wait a few seconds before retrying" when adding a location

Version 5.1.0-beta (2024-03-08)

New features

  • Breezy Weather now comes in 3 flavors:
    • Standard: this is the version you used so far
    • Google Play: same as Standard + proprietary Fused location from Google Play Services. Useful if you use “Current location” feature AND have Google Play Services installed on your device. Otherwise, you should use the standard version.
    • F-Droid: this version removes support for any weather sources which are not libre and self-hostable, so you are sure to get a 100% FOSS experience and not connect by mistake to a non-free network. There are plans to add this version to the default F-Droid repository.

Improvements and fixes

Improvements and fixes

Fixes

  • Fix crash when adding more than 4 or 5 current details in header
  • Fix weather source failing in loop (noticed with NWS source, for example)
  • Fallback to real temperature if feels like temperature is missing in daily feels like chart to avoid weird looking chart

Version 5.0.0-alpha (2024-02-26)

We found a proprietary dependency in the database component. To get rid of it, we chose to use a different database component and not offer any migration. You will have to re-add your locations. Your preferences are safe.

This an alpha release. Use it at your own risk. If you do, report any issue you found to help stabilizing the app! Stay on v4.6.14 for now if you want a stable release and are not concerned about the proprietary dependency.

Unfinished things that will be in a future 5.0.x version:

  • Bring back temporarily removed "auto" option for live wallpaper
  • Offline reverse geocoding to get location presets for current location
  • [UX] Improve weather sources dialog to be less overwhelming
  • Maybe release a stable v4.6.15 that inform users that next version will empty location list, if there are too many reports

New features and main improvements

  • Design refresh of current details in header
  • New daily chart: feels like temperature
  • New hourly chart: feels like temperature
  • New hourly chart: humidity / dew point
  • New hourly chart: pressure
  • New hourly chart: cloud cover
  • New hourly chart: visibility
  • Better precipitation notifications, now based on precipitation minute by minute (not supported by all weather sources)
  • Location search no longer asks you to choose your weather source, which may have been confusing. Instead, you will make a search, and when tapping on a location in the result list, location will be set up with a preset of main and secondary sources we recommend that varies depending on the country of that location. You are able to change these sources before confirming adding of that location. At the moment, this only affects manually added locations and experience of adding of current location remains unchanged due to technical reasons (no reverse geocoding available).
  • Following that change, the purpose of the “Change source” button on bottom of location search is to change the default location search source (which was previously found rather hidden in settings) instead of the weather source to use with locations.

  • [Danmarks Meteorologiske Institut (DMI)] Added support as a secondary source for alerts in Denmark-only

  • [MET Norway] Fix precipitation in the next hour failing in some cases
  • [PirateWeather] Retrieve 168 hours of forecast

  • [HERE] Remove support for NWS alerts, they were never filtered according to the location (was returning all alerts from USA!), so use directly NWS source instead
  • [HERE] Remove as a location search source as other sources are more reliable to be used with the new location search page

Other improvements and fixes

  • [Weather refresh] Various improvements to missing data computing/extrapolating
  • [Alerts] Show alert color icon on alert details page
  • [Location list] Swiping left on a manually added location now opens the weather sources preferences instead of (un)setting resident location status
  • [Location weather sources preferences] Clarified features supported by main source in secondary weather sources preferences. For exemple, at the moment of writing, Open-Meteo doesn't support alerts. If your main source is Open-Meteo and you don't have a secondary source set for Alerts, it showed “Main source”, now it will show “None” instead.
  • [Location weather sources preferences] Fix secondary source choices not updating when changing main weather source (if main source supports secondary features, it wouldn't be showing in secondary sources list)
  • [Location weather sources preferences] Fix a display issue of “alert source” instead of “normals source” in secondary weather sources settings of a location
  • [Location weather sources preferences] Fix duplicate location when main weather source is changed to an existing same location with same weather source
  • [Location weather sources preferences] Fix when changing main weather source, saving previously redirected to first location in location list. Now, it will stay on the correct location
  • [Notifications] Fix crash when today/tomorrow notification was received on Android 14
  • [Notification-widget] Fix temperature icon in status bar being cut off on some devices (@min7-i)
  • [Weather refresh] When background updates are disabled, when opening a location, it will now automatically refresh if it was last refreshed more than 1.5 hours ago
  • [Settings] When background updates are disabled, make user aware that “Notifications of weather alerts” and “Notifications of precipitations” are unavailable by greying the options in settings
  • [Widgets] Fix clock day vertical widget in vertical or tile mode was showing decimals to current temperature
  • Fix UV index description being sometimes wrong
  • Fix all alert dialogs that had too much padding in content compared to title.

Removed features

  • Resident locations. Undocumented, encourages bad practices (two identical locations to be refreshed) and terrible technical implementation. May be brought back differently if you can provide well-thought use cases, functional specifications, and a better technical implementation.
  • Widget layout option “Oreo (Google Sans)” (Oreo without Google Sans remains available). We don’t have licensing rights of the Google Sans font. Customizing font on widgets was also an unofficial feature that was removed with a security update released in 2021, so that feature didn’t work for most devices anyway.
