(Note that 4.1.0 (build 4024) - 05 June 2024 remains available, but usage of this version is not recommended - particularly for Davis stations - and the included utility in this distribution for migrating to v4 is known to contain errors affecting conversion of dayfile.txt)
Legacy Cumulus 1 release 1.9.4 (build 1099) - 28 November 2014

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Ray,
I think you are missing the point of the topic, so not understanding Mark's reply.
This topic is about running Cumulus software in a way that avoids the missing hour at winter to summer changeover and eliminates the duplicated hour at summer to winter switchover.
Sure Raspberry Pi computers can operate with winter and summer time, just like your pc and the clocks in your house. But Mark is stressing how cheap they are to run compared to your XP pc, and how popular it is to use them without using the daylight saving option.
I was just responding to Mark’s comment that everyone runs their computer on GMT.
Ray, I meant everyone that uses UTC (or a fixed TZ) all year round because they want to avoid the clock change issues.
I can see that these people would not their main household computer locked to UTC say, so the suggestion to run Cumulus on a rPi that you can dedicate to your weather data, leave running 24x7 cheaply, and configure it for a fixed TZ with no DST changes.
It's OK. As the OP I understood what you were saying. I just wish there was a list of recommended Raspberry Pi kits which could be put together with a Noddy guide. And where I could get them!

Understood Mark. I have a dedicated netbook used solely for Cumulus but still have DST enabled purely for convenience. I can understand why RP are useful with their low power consumption. If I was using a mid-tower Windows PC the power consumption would be ridiculous. The netbooks back in 2009 were the ideal solution and mine keeps on going.
