Bug#647749: Patch
TWC automatically disabled all existing xmloap licenses on 10/31. However, they didn't disable the xmloap service itself yet (nor the ability to get a new license id). The patch will work until TWC's xmloap service is ended, which could be tomorrow or many moons from now (your guess is as good as mine). I applied the patch as shown and my weather plugin is working again. It will work until TWC ends xmloap or manually disables my license id (though I can't see why they would do that since the plugin does follow all of the licensing agreements (non-profit, shows logo and promotional links, etc.).

They intend to shut the service down and pass to a paid service. If we manage to fix the plugin just to have it disabled again in the next future, it might not be worth it. It might be worth changing provider though. In any case, thanks for the patch, it might be at least a band-aid solution for stable where changing provider isn't exactly possible anyway. For the rest, feel free to push that upstream (I won't do that, it's your license). Regards, -- Yves-Alexis signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
