weatherBot v2.0.1-1

Removed the space in the default hashtag

• Fixed missing degree symbol (º) in forecasts
• Caching to a file (.wbcache.p)
• Configurable strings
• Language support
• Contributing guidelines
• invoke task runner
• Large rework/refactor

weatherBot 1.2.3

Removes a double space in a weather forecast.

weatherBot 1.2.2

This introduces some breaking changes with keys and environmental variables.

Daily forecast and scheduled tweets are now configured in the conf file. You can have as many or as few scheduled tweets as you like now!

Twitter access tokens are now accessed though different variable names. The access token and token secret now match how Twitter documents them. You will need to migrate to use

'access_token': 'xxx',
'access_token_secret': 'xxx',

in keys.py or use the WEATHERBOT_ACCESS_TOKEN and WEATHERBOT_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET environmental variables.

In short:
You can now add times for the forecast and scheduled tweets in the cons file.

keys.py:
access_key ➜ access_token
access_secret ➜ access_token_secret
environmental variables:
WEATHERBOT_ACCESS_KEY ➜ WEATHERBOT_ACCESS_TOKEN
WEATHERBOT_ACCESS_SECRET ➜ WEATHERBOT_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

Many more tests have been written.

weatherBot 1.2.1

This minor update sets the Heroku runtime to Python 3.5.2.

weatherBot 1.2

• conf files
  • A conf file must be passed in as the first and sole argument when running the bot. For example, python3 weatherBot.py weatherBot.conf
  • All fields are optional, and default to the values in weatherBot.conf
• Docker
  • Docker image can be created by running ./build.sh
  • The image can then be spun up by running docker run --name weatherBot -d -e WEATHERBOT_CONSUMER_KEY=xxx -e WEATHERBOT_CONSUMER_SECRET=xxx -e WEATHERBOT_ACCESS_KEY=xxx -e WEATHERBOT_ACCESS_SECRET=xxx -e WEATHERBOT_FORECASTIO_KEY=xxx weatherbot python weatherBot.py weatherBot.conf

The could be called the precipitation update. Precipitation is now handed properly via the precipIntensity, precipType, and precipProbability fields. Precipitation will be reported within the given throttles for rain, snow, sleet, and hail for varying precipitation rates. The rates are broken into very-light, light, moderate, and heavy, at the suggested rates given by the forecast.io documentation.
