if I had a wish for V2 it would be to have webtags for change in last hour for Dewpoint & Humidity
In V1 would be good too, but I am the 'code freeze police' so I would never ask!

With everything in a database, it's dead easy to add webtags for just about anything you could think of, it's just a case of creating the appropriate query, but...
In V1 would be good too,
... the problem in Cumulus 1 is that there are probably already web tags for just about everything that it already calculates. Most new webtags would require extra code behind the webtag to calculate and store the parameter in the first place, and...
but I am the 'code freeze police' so I would never ask!
... the worry of the knock on the door in the middle of the night would be just too much to bear

I'd have to remember it at rollover time, and save and restore it to/from yesterday.ini. I'm working on Cumulus 2 at the moment, but if I get back to adding facilities to Cumulus 1, I can add this. And of course, I'll put it in Cumulus 2 when I get around to doing the webtags for that.
Hi Steve, thanks for the reply. I'm content to wait for v2 if that is easier for you. Cheers, Lance
