Changes from version 1.9.2:

---

1033

• Fixes compass flicker
• Attempts to fix Twitter hang
• New web tags
  • <#DataStopped> - 1 if the station has apparently stopped sending data to Cumulus, otherwise 0
  • 'Recent History' web tags, giving selected data values from 1 minute ago, up to 1 week ago, in 1 minute intervals.
• Month-by-month all time records, and web tags. These are things like 'highest ever January temperature' etc.
• Added a new 'standard' web page for the month-by-month records, called monthlyrecord.htm
• Display and logging of 'extra' sensors, e.g. Davis extra temperature, leaf wetness etc, WMR200 extra sensors, etc.
• Built-in viewers for 'standard' and 'extra' data logs (on the View menu)

1034

• <#LastDataReadT> web tag (time last data was read)

1035

• Fix spurious rolllover with WMR200 when restarted just after midnight
• Cater for WMR100/200/etc rain rate overflow value
• Put some retries in when Davis station initialisation fails
• New charts for Solar, UV, and daily sunshine hours

1036

• Option to hide theoretical max on solar chart
• Added option to not calculate Altimeter Pressure (Davis stations)
• Add highs for solar and UV for today and yesterday

1037

• Correct minimum value on UV graph Y-axis (fix at zero)

1038

• UV now displayed and logged as whole numbers by default.
• Option (for 'incomplete' stations) to disable the sensor check

1039

• Adds support for the Hydreon RG-11 Rain Sensor

1040

• Now takes a 'backup' of active files (for 'rewind' purposes) after each daily rollover as well as at start up.

1041

• Fix comma on first value of <#wspddata>
• New web tags
  • <#RCwlatest> same as <#wlatest> with decimal comma replaced by full stop if necessary
  • <#avgtempY> - yesterday's average temperature
• Fix crash at start up on Turkish systems

1042

• Fix bug where monthly records appear in wrong month when downloading logger data across a month boundary
• Allow configurable max FTP connect retries via cumulus.ini
• Fix <#RecentRainToday> values

1044

• Fixed cancelling of temp trend alarm
• Fix comma on first value of <#WindRoseData>
• New web tag
  • <#IsFreezing> gives 1 if outside temperature is at or below 0C/32F, otherwise 0
  • <#metdate> the current meteorlogical day
• Added a 'channel' parameter to the <#txbattery> web tag

1045

• New web tags
  • New RC web tags (if decimal commas are in use they are replaced by decimal points):

<#RCdewpointTH> <#RCdewpointTL> <#RCwchillTL> <#RCheatindexTH> <#RCapptempTH> <#RCapptempTL>

• New web tags giving Beaufort 'description' for today's and yesterday's high wind speed

<#Tbeaudesc> <#Ybeaudesc>

• Add decimal place to WM-918 pressure value
• Make plotted wind values obey 'Round wind speeds' setting

1046

• Fix beta bugs

1047

• Fix incorrect date on high windrun records for Davis stations, when rollover is done from logger data

1048

• Fix windrun record date for 0900/1000 rollover
• Fix crash at start up on some locales (e.g. Bulgaria)
• Changed WMR200 code slightly. May prevent hanging. May not.

1049

• Removed: Changed WMR200 code from build 1048

1050

• Twitter: change to new API as the old one has been turned off (so all tweets failed).

1051

• Fix degree symbols (etc) in Twitter updates

1052

• Change USB operations for WMR200 to try to avoid hanging

1053

• Fix bug with saving month.ini and year.ini if 0900/1000 rollover in use and Cumulus restarted between midnight and 0900/1000 on 1st of month
• Fixed sorting bug in dayfile editor ('create missing') when system has US date format

1054

• Option in display settings to turn off new all-time record notifications
• New web tag <#yesterday> gives yesterday's date. 'Format' parameter can be applied.
• Added number of dry days to This Month/Year/Period displays
• Yesterday's wind run added as a mouseover to today's value on main screen
• Increase max number of extra ftp files to 99 (via cumulus.ini)
• Fix some problems with timestamps in daily backups

1055

• New web tags:
  • <#metdateyesterday> - gives yesterday's 'meterological' date, for those using 0900/1000 rollover
  • <#DaysSince30Dec1899> (gives whole and fractional part) Example: 41250.6523310301
• Make sure today's rain total is reset at end of day before any internet updates.
• Experimental option in the station settings - "Synchronise Fine Offset reads". This is an attempt to work around the Fine Offset 'USB lockup' problem. It does this by synchronising once a day with the console's 48-second and 60-second updates, and avoids communicating with the console for three seconds either side of each of those. Thanks to Jim Easterbrook for the method.

1056

• Fixes bug in realtime.txt values for some items for some users with extra sensors
• New web tag <#DaysSinceRecordsBegan>

• Don't allow rain since midnight to be negative
• Fix incorrect rain since midnight on Davis stations on 1st January.
• Cater for commas in passwords for WU/WOW/PWSWeather/Weatherbug
• Check for Davis firmware 3 and adjust data polling interval to avoid excessive reads
• Fix Leaf Wetness Captions in strings.ini overwriting Leaf Temp Captions
• Fix UV values so number of decimals places is consistent throughout
• Change default UV decimals to 1 for Davis stations
• Allow 'format' parameter on <#recordsbegandate>
• Fix Fine Offset 'sensor clock' re-sync
