Another suggestion if it's not too late.

Time sync:-
I understand that Cumulus can update the time in a Davis console if set to do so but only does so on start up.
Would it be possible to resync once per day just after 2am.
This would ensure synchronisation long term and take care of daylight saving changes which seem to take place at 2am pretty much everywhere it occurs.

It's something I plan to do at some point, but not right now, sorry. I'd want an extended period of beta test for that change to make sure it didn't cause any problems.

Would unlimited or increased ftp slots be a small upgrade?

Thanks

Unlimited would be nice, but I think maybe more than I want to do for this release; it would require a complete overhaul of the files tab on the internet settings screen to do it properly.

Increased (via the cumulus.ini file) is very easy, I think; a one line change in fact. I could increase it from 20 to 99.
