This program retrieves local meterological data from the Internet, and saves it
in (regulary updating) env-vars to allow you to display it in the WB titlebar,
as an icon on Workbench, AmiDock or in the GUI.  It can show a forecast for up
to 24 hours ahead (where available), and is fully localisable.

Previous few version changes:

5.5 (05.02.2010)

* Compiled without optimisations for OS4 - fixes crash under OS4.1u1.
* Added STARTUPDELAY to work around an AmiDock bug in OS4.1u1.
* Added notifications. (see tooltypes section in docs)
* TCP/IP code fixes to fix outstanding issues and potential issues.
* Tweaked the install slightly for new installs under OS4.1u1.

5.4 (25.01.2009)

* Forecasts now work again!
* DST adjustment now uses timezone.library on OS4

5.3 (24.03.2008)

* The icon for showers was potentially getting priority over other events (eg. Snow Showers may have shown the icon for Showers instead of Snow).
* Certain sky conditions were causing crashes or no data to appear.
* NOOVERLAY=INTENSITY was errorneously present in the <wet data>/gs/0 tooltypes.
* Sunset/Sunrise times can now be set to Official, Civil, Nautical or Astronomical via a cycle gadget and tooltype.
* "Feels like" value is now Heat Index or Humidex for values over 27°C/80°F.
* Added (){"DEGTODEC" link rx_degtodec}, (){"REQUEST" link rx_request} and (){"HEATINDEX" link rx_heatindex} ARexx commands.
* ARexx scripts updated to use Wet's REQUEST command.
* uk-postcodes.csv file removed as it was legally dubious.  Changed ukpostcode.wet script to use data from http://www.freethepostcode.org - it scans the list using http-handler (http://www.unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk/download.php?file=http) if available, otherwise will search a file called "currentlist" in Wet's data directory.
* AppIcon information requester now shows the current conditions.
* If the sun never sets or rises on a particular day at a particular location, the display now shows N/A instead of midnight.
* Changed SUNSET and WINDCHILL commands so they use the user's preference by default.
* Modified install script and AutoInstall so that Wet will upgrade without prompting through AmiUpdate.
* DewPoint values were being decoded when none existed (OS3.9 version only)
* Cloud conditions were incorrect in some instances (OS3.9 version only)

5.2 (05.03.2008)

* Added WINDCHILL ARexx command.
* Directional visibility decoding was causing a crash, fixed.
* Wet now unlocks the WB screen (enabling prefs changes).
* Menu checkboxes now reflect reality if you change them and close/reopen the window.
* The stack in the project icon is now forced to 32K if it is set below 32K.  Project icons included in this package have been modified to have a stack of 32K.
* NCD (No Cloud Detected) and NDV (No Directional Visibility) now recognised.
* Catalog directories now named correctly for OS3 (if you use the install script!)
* Faster 32-bit icon overlays [Bernd Gollesch].

5.1 (09.08.2007)

* Now includes AmigaOS 3.9 version - many thanks to Bernd Gollesch for the port.
* Now fully supports 32-bit icons - 256 colour icons are converted "on the fly".  Note that this means the OS4 version no longer works on anything less than "final update".
* New 32-bit icon set included by Ken "Ken's Icons" Lester.
* New tooltype OVERLAYTRANS to set overlay icon transparency for 256-colour overlays.
* Docky overlay text no longer works as the code needs rewriting for the new icon system.  It never worked properly anyway, so I don't think anyone will miss this feature.  It may reappear in the future.
* Icons are now in theme directories to allow easier adding and changing of icon sets.  You can select the theme with the "THEME" tooltype.  NB: You will see no icons if you don't use the installer or modify your data directory and add the THEME tooltype manually!
* ARexx: Fixed a crash when calling GETVALUE or GETUNIT when no data had been obtained yet.
* ARexx: RC wasn't being reset to 0 if a previous command failed.
* New ARexx script dec_to_deg.wet converts decimal latitudes/longitudes to the degrees, minutes and seconds that the GUI requires.
* Bumped version number to v5 for various reasons.  The version numbers will now only follow the AmigaOS internal numbering scheme, as the split version/release was confusing some people.
