- New: Brand new default web site template courtesy of Neil Thomas. The original "legacy" web site is still included, but it has been moved to the /webfiles-legacy folder.

- Change: The default web site is now driven by a single data file (plus realtimegauges.txt), rather than every page being updated and uploaded each interval.

——————————————
- Fix: Catch error creating System Uptime counter on Windows

- Fix: Diary Editor creating entries on the wrong day, and revamp the interface a bit
- Fix: WLL day average temp stats on historic catch-up
- Fix: GW1000 auto-discovery was triggering an erroneous IP address change
- Fix: Cumulus MX shutdown when running as a system service is now orderly
- Fix: The start-up ping now refreshes the DNS cache before every re-try to avoid using null entries cached before the internet comes up

- New: Brand new default web site template courtesy of Neil Thomas. The original "legacy" web site is still included, but it has been moved to the /webfiles-legacy folder.
	- The new web site is now data file driven as opposed to all pages being processed and uploaded. The legacy web site has also been updated to use this method.
- New: The previous Console log file is now copied to an "-old" file on start-up
- New: For Davis WLL stations using weatherlink.com, Cumulus now checks and reports the operational status of weatherlink.com on start-up and if an error occurs accessing the service
- New: Two web tags <#forumurl> and <#webcamurl>, which just return the respective URLs rather than the pre-canned HTML of <#forum> and <#webcam>
- New: The start of a Display Options section under Station, which controls what data is displayed on the default web site, implementing some of the Cumulus 1 options
	- New web tags for this: <#Option_useApparent>, <#Option_showSolar>, <#Option_showUV>

- Change: All the settings screens revamped, reorganised and extended.
	- Many of the settings are now context sensitive, only showing items relevant to your station and configuration.
	- Most of the previously config file "read-only" settings are now available in an Advanced section relevant to the configuration item. These settings are now read/write.
	- Many new Cumulus.ini configuration entries, and some now depreciated.
	- Virtually all the standard files that can be generated can now be controlled for enabling/disabling generation and FTP transfer independently.
	- Added more graph data series controls.
- Change: The two graph config files availabledata.json and graphconfig.json are now only uploaded on program start-up and when the station config is changed.
- Change: Dayfile, Monthly Log, and Extra log file editors now have a selectable page length, and a goto-page feature
- Change: The default web site is now driven by a single data file (plus realtimegauges.txt), rather than every page being updated and uploaded each interval.
- Change: The various charting pages now hide buttons for graphs that do not contain any data - both on the dashboard and default web site.
- Change: Creation of the wxnow.txt file is now disabled by default for new installs
- Change: Clock sync (Davis VP2 & Instromet) now occurs at 2 minutes past the hour selected
