Cumulus Support

Build 1093 of version 1.9.4 is now available from the downloads page.

This version has an option to encode web pages using UTF-8. The files tab of the internet setting has a checkbox for each 'extra' file to allow UTF-8 enocding to be selected. The setting is 'off' by default. If you are using more than 10 extra files by editing cumulus.ini, you can turn on UTF-8 encoding for those by using a similar method to the existing settings for those extra files. E.g. setting ExtraUTF42=1 would turn on UTF-8 encoding for extra file number 42.

I have also changed the standard web pages so that they are HTML 5 compliant, and specify a UTF-8 charset. There is a separate UTF-8 option for the standard files ("UTF-8 Encode" in the "Web settings" box on the "Sites/Options" tab on the Internet Settings screen), and this is 'on' by default (as the standard files now require it). If you have your own modified versions of the standard files (and therefore choose the option not to install the web page templates when you install a new version of Cumulus), then you will need to turn this option off, unless you convert your pages to use UTF-8.

The dashboard.js file has changed (for a couple of CSS changes required for HTML5 compliance), so if you use the standard gauges web page, you will need to FTP the modified dashboard.js file from the Cumulus webfiles directory to the dbimages directory on your web site. You may need to force a refresh in your browser to get it to pick up the new file. Without this change, some of the gauges will not be centered.
