MX b3029 latitude and longitude

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

MX b3029 latitude and longitude

Post by BCJKiwi »

Just upgraded to b3029.

It seems something has happened to latitude an longitude dp and / or rc switches

Have a template file with;
$lt = <#latitude dp=2 rc=y>; // latitude rc=y forces comma decimal notation to '.' decimal
and another with;
<#latitude dp=6>
and
<#longitude dp=6>

These all now resolve to;
'error'

They have been good from C1 through to and including b3028

Has syntax changed or is there an unforeseen glitch in the build?

To upgrade, with CumulusMX stopped, just copied over the new;
CumulusMX.exe
and
CumulusMX.pdb

Should I have updated some other files as well?

I changed the code to fix the issue with the leading space. I thought I had tested it, but perhaps not.

Note that if you don't replace all of the files from the distribution when upgrading, you will at some point have problems. One of the interface libraries did change this time.

OK, will have to brush up on file difference testing programs - replacing everything every time is not my preference - already lost interface refinements that way.
