v3.6.1 - realtime.txt error

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).

Post by mcrossley »

Sorry, schoolboy error, release 3.6.1 has messed up the realtime.txt file (additional line feed), fix out shortly...

Upgraded Just now;

One notable thing was that \interface\now.html appeared unchanged from my previous version.

Is the realtime.txt issue easily recified by reverting to previous versions of CumulusMX.exe & fluentFTP.dll?

Thanks

Phil.

3.6.2 is now available to fix the realtime.txt issue.

The now.html file has definitely been updated - subtle, you just get the degree symbol on the wind directions now.

The now.html file has definitely been updated
The 3077 I downloaded mast have been cached out there somewhere, same bytes & time stamps as the 3076.

Did also download it after you mentioned the change, so cached in the only viable explaination.

Cheers

Think you must have been looking at the wrong directory.

Gotta be one of those weird paradoxes!

Zip file contains the updated one, but the extracted folder, (Via 7-Zip has a different time stamp.
Just cant figure how that comes about.
