📋 Release Notes

AccessiWeather v0.9.3.1 - PyInstaller Fix

�� Critical Bug Fix

PyInstaller Import Error Fixed

**Fixed application startup crash** that prevented AccessiWeather.exe from running on systems without Python installed

**Root cause**: PyInstaller couldn't detect the conditional import of `psutil` used for memory monitoring in debug mode

**Solution**: Added `psutil` as a hidden import and dependency to ensure it's properly bundled with the application

**Impact**: Users can now install and run AccessiWeather without encountering import errors

What's New (from v0.9.3)

Highlights in this release include Open-Meteo support for international weather data; it can also be chosen as a weather source for all data. A critical taskbar system tray bug was fixed that caused multiple taskbar icons to spawn with no easy way to get rid of them.

�� New Features

International weather support with new data source

• Global weather coverage: Get weather data for any location worldwide, not just the United States
• Smart provider selection: The app automatically uses the best weather source for your location if automatic weather source is selected in settings
◦ US locations: National Weather Service (includes weather alerts)
◦ International locations: Open-Meteo (free, no API key required)
• Seamless experience: All features work the same regardless of which weather provider is used

Taskbar icon improvements

Custom formats: create your own display format using variables like {temp}, {condition}, {location}, and many more. This has been improved in this release, with the display output having a more improved format identical to what you see in the main user interface. Mix and match variables so you can get current conditions right from the taskbar.

- Fixed an accessibility oversight where standard Windows commands would not work on the taskbar icon, E.G. applications key, etc. Previously, to bring up the context menu, you would have to right-click the icon. All standard commands now work as expected, including enter to immediately bring the application into focus.

- Fixed a nasty bug that occurred on Windows 10 machines where multiple taskbar icons would appear. Due to standard commands not working as expected, it posed an issue for dummy icons even if the app executable was killed from the task manager.

Alerts/notifications improvements

• Separate alert timing: Weather alerts now update on their own schedule, independent of regular weather updates
• No more spam: Alerts will only notify you when they're actually new or updated, not every time the weather refreshes
• Better reliability: Improved alert processing ensures you don't t miss important weather warnings
