You need version 0.8.9 or newer:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xfce4-weather-plugin

Hopefully it will be backported to 14.04/16.04 soon.

There is not any new version at all.

I tried to install 0.8.7 and then 0.8.9-1 under Xubuntu 16.04, installations were ok, but don't work ...

A+

0.8.9-1 is an old package, why did you try that=

Is there a solution for this?

Running v0.8.6 on XUbuntu 16.04 LTS.

I have just downloaded the .deb version of the plugin 0.8.9-1 from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-weather-plugin/0.8.9-0ubuntu1/+build/12025316 and installed it in Xubuntu 16.04 using gdebi and it is working fine, so I assume that it has already been patched with the new api.

This works.

We've started the SRU process as outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

The updated package has been uploaded and is now waiting for approval to xenial-proposed.

Hello Andy,

Thank you for solving this issue. When will be added the 0.8.9 version to Linux Mint 18.1 Romeo (proposed) repository?
Furthermore i can tell good news: in the meantime the 0.8.6 version works as well.

Package 0.8.9-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 from xenial-proposed fixed the bug for me (Xubuntu 16.04), thanks.

Confirming that 0.8.9-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 works for me on xenial. Thank you!

Confirming, as well: 0.8.9-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 from xenial-proposed fixed the issue for me. Thank you, Devs!

The package 0.8.9-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 from xenial-proposed also fixed the bug for me in Xubuntu 16.04.
I had already successfully tried and used the 0.8.9.1_amd64.deb from the zesty 17.04 repos, but so that I can remain with xenial repos I will now be using this version from proposed repos.

Please also verify the yakkety version of the packages. Once that's done, please include the verification-done-yakkety tag to this bug. Thank you!

This bug was fixed in the package xfce4-weather-plugin - 0.8.9-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

The verification of the Stable Release Update for xfce4-weather-plugin has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!

Yakkety is EOL as of July 20, 2017.

The 0.8.9-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 version of this plugin has again stopped working properly.
Changes of location are not possible, and no new locations can be found when searching in the Properties dialogue.

I have purged and reinstalled, and cleared everything from ~/.cache/xfce4/weather but it still will not search successfully.

Has there been another change to the API causing this failure?

I can confirm as ajgreeny says.

The applet was fixed for the original bug of this report for some time, but now it has the following bug where searching for a location is not working, it searches and return no results.

Thanks.
