This note shows how the ec-forecast.php V2.16+ can be configured in your template Settings.php file.

ec-forecast.php V2.16 includes the following changes:
* settings to control display of dates with day names
* ability to use new transparent PNG icons in place of the older GIF icons
* improved diagnostics for HTTP fetch from weather.gc.ca website, and built-in retry for a 30x redirect
* multiple forecast locations with drop-down control selector
* support for cache files in the $SITE['CacheFileDir'] location

You can install the V2.16+ version to directly replace your older version in the template with no additional
configuration necessary.  If you would like to enable the newer features (like day/date, PNG icons, multiple
forecast locations) then copy the following to your template Settings.php and make the configuration changes
you desire.
