I understand that you can't have every single town in the world in the 
database. I ran

svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/libgweather/trunk libgweather

to see what is there.

 From what I see it is NOT a database issue. My town, and more 
importantly MBS International Airport, is still listed in the database. 
The Weather Report program has been changed so that I can no longer 
select it. I can only select the higher level town, Saginaw.

The difference I see between 2.24.1 and 2.26.0 is that Weather Report no 
longer allows one to select a sub-location like it use to. Take San 
Diego for instance:

         <city>
           <!-- A city in California in the United States -->
           <_name>San Diego</_name>
           <coordinates>32.715329 -117.157255</coordinates>
           <location>
             <name>San Diego International-Lindbergh Field</name>
             <code>KSAN</code>
             <zone>CAZ043</zone>
             <radar>lax</radar>
             <coordinates>32.733611 -117.183056</coordinates>
           </location>
           <location>
             <name>San Diego, North Island, Naval Air Station</name>
             <code>KNZY</code>
             <radar>lax</radar>
             <coordinates>32.690833 -117.208889</coordinates>
           </location>
           <location>
             <name>Montgomery Field</name>
             <code>KMYF</code>
             <zone>CAZ043</zone>
             <radar>lax</radar>
             <coordinates>32.814444 -117.136389</coordinates>
           </location>
           <location>
             <name>Miramar MCAS / Mitscher Field Airport</name>
             <code>KNKX</code>
             <zone>CAZ043</zone>
             <radar>lax</radar>
             <coordinates>32.868333 -117.142500</coordinates>
           </location>
           <location>
             <name>San Diego / El Cajon, Gillespie Field Airport</name>
             <code>KSEE</code>
             <zone>CAZ050</zone>
             <radar>lax</radar>
             <coordinates>32.826111 -116.972222</coordinates>
           </location>
           <location>
             <name>Brown Field Municipal Airport</name>
             <code>KSDM</code>
             <zone>CAZ050</zone>
             <radar>lax</radar>
             <coordinates>32.575278 -116.993056</coordinates>
           </location>
         </city>

There are SIX airport sub-locations. Weather Report use to be able to 
let me select which one to use. Now it doesn't give me a choice anymore. 
I don't know which one it uses now.

Likewise for my location, Saginaw:

         <city>
           <!-- A city in Michigan in the United States -->
           <_name>Saginaw</_name>
           <coordinates>43.419470 -83.950807</coordinates>
           <location>
             <name>Saginaw County H.W. Browne Airport</name>
             <code>KHYX</code>
             <coordinates>43.433333 -83.862500</coordinates>
           </location>
           <location>
             <name>MBS International Airport</name>
             <code>KMBS</code>
             <zone>MIZ053</zone>
             <radar>mkg</radar>
             <coordinates>43.532778 -84.079444</coordinates>
           </location>
         </city>

There are TWO airport sub-locations. I use to be able to select MBS, 
which I still can in version 2.24.1 but now in 2.26.0 I can't select it. 
I know that in 2.24.1 selecting MBS International Airport would give me 
the forecast and radar map.

So, the data that I want is STILL in the database, the program just 
won't let me select it anymore.

Is there anyway that I can revert back to running the 2.24.1 version 
under Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)?

Thank you for looking into this. Until it became broke I never realized 
how much I used this applet, and especially the Forecast and Radar Map 
feature.
