Earlier in 2025, Environment Canada changed the process to access weather data for Canadian cities. This change was raised in Issue #3822 as a Bug, which is addressed in this Provider update. There are no Magic Mirror UI changes from this update. The 'old' method to access Environment Canada involved accessing a static URL based on a City identifier which would result in an XML document containing the appropriate weather data. The 'new' method is a 2 step process. The first step is to access a time-sensitive URL that contains a list of links to various cities that have weather data available. The second step requires finding the correct city in that list based on a City identifier, and then accessing that unique URL to access an XML document containing the appropriate weather data. The changes made to the envcanada Provider code are solely aimed at using the new 2-step method to access a specified City's weather data. Since the resulting XML document structure has not changed, no other code in envcanada required changes. Note that a ChangeLog entry is included in this PR. --------- Co-authored-by: Kristjan ESPERANTO <35647502+KristjanESPERANTO@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: veeck <gitkraken@veeck.de>
