The title pretty much says it all.  There is a new version of Z Weather in town, and it is called Zap Weather.  Why the name change? Well, the name fits well with our other product, Zap Calendar, and, the zapweather.com domain was available.  Version 7 of Zap Weather is now available for download here.  A short installation guide is available in the Zap Weather support section. 

This version is a complete rewrite of version 6, whose heritage goes back to Joomla 1.0.  Version 7 supports Joomla 2.5 (finally!).  We haven't tested it with Joomla 3.0 but it is on the to-do list.  We first want to add some additional features to make Zap Weather version 7 as feature complete as version 6.  This initial release supports 12 hour and 24 hour forecasts, zipcode lookups for latitude/longitude coordinates, and cronjob support.

Also, did we mention Zap Weather is still completely free? We didn't? Well, now you know. Go ahead and try it out and post your comments in the forum.
