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).
Release 3.28.2 - build 3279 - is available for download.
Note: If you use custom MySQL uploads, please double check the settings after upgrading to this release. v3.28.1 had some issues with the configuration page and may have altered some settings from their intended values.
New
Adds two new web tags <#StationFreeMemory> and <#StationRuntime>
StationFreeMemory: Shows the station free memory for Davis WLC, Ecowitt GW1100/20000 (using HTTP)
StationRuntime: Shows the station uptime in seconds for Davis WLL/WLC, Ecowitt GW1100/20000 (using HTTP)
Now implements a basic check of the latest monthly log file on start-up to remove any nulls from the end
Changed
Custom Minutes MySQL commands can now have the interval defined per command rather than globally
Fixed
Ecowitt Cloud station: Fix some errors decoding Ecowitt cloud API.
Davis WeatherLink Cloud, no longer requires a Pro subscription to pull current data. Quite an extensive rewrite!
Extra Files using log filename templates missed the last log entry at month rollover as they switched to the new month immediately
Fix missing units in alarm email messages
Custom Timed MySQL commands sometimes fired immediately after saving the configuration
Ecowitt historic catch-up was missing CO2, CO2 pm, CO2 T/H, leaf wetness, and extra T/H dewpoint values
There is a new version of CreateMissing available - v1.4.3
This fixes an issue where missing derived temperatures in the day were always returned in Celsius. The new version will convert them to Fahrenheit if required.
A new version of Cumulus MX is now in beta testing. Version 4 moves away from the old Microsoft .Net Framework and on to the new fully supported .NET 8.0 platform.
Please read this topic for more information on setting up v4 and migrating from v3 to v4.
The change log for this initial beta (b4017) is as follows:
New
Moon Image now supports transparent shadows
The -install/-unistall command line switches now support both Windows and Linux
Under Linux run > sudo dotnet CumulusMX.dll -install -user <username> [-port <port_number>] [-lang <lang-code>]
Windows install as a service now self-elevates and requests UAC
Implements encryption of the credentials in the cumulus.ini file
Experimental Gmail OATH 2.0 authentication
New web tag for the average temperature of the previous 24 hours from now: <#TempAvg24Hrs>
Cumulus backups are now zipped
Add Enable option to Extra Web Files so you can now save entries but not have them active
Ecowitt - added firmware update check on start-up and once a day at 13:00
<#ByMonthTempAvg mon=[1-12]> Mean for requested month over the entire history. Omit the mon parameter for the current month
<#MonthTempAvg m=[1-12] y=[YYYY]> Mean for the requested specific month. Omit the parameters for the current month
<#YearTempAvg y=[YYYY]> Mean for the requested year. Omit the y parameter for the current year
Changed
Now requires Microsoft .Net 8.0 rather than mono to run under Linux and MacOS
All data files are now written/read as invariant - dayfile, monthly log files, extra log files, AirLink, and custom log files
NOTE: Custom log files may require the user to alter their configuration to use comma separators and add the rc=y parameter to numeric web tags
Monthly log files now renamed to "[yyyyMM]log.txt" to remove localised month name - and now sortable in the file system!
Patch release 3.28.6 - build 3283 - is now available.
This contains a fix to decode more VP2 when using the Davis Cloud Station, and a fix for a crash creating Growing Degree Day & Temperature Sum graph data files for users without any data in the first month of the GDD year.
Sorry folks, but a debug version of CumulusMX.exe v3.28.6 found its way into the original CumulusMXDis3283.zip file.
I have updated the download; the zip is now called CumulusMXDist3283a.zip
If you previously downloaded CumulusMXDist3283.zip, the only file that has changed and you need to replace is CumulusMX.exe
