#* | #*As downloaded, the MX package contained obsolete vintage version 2.1.4 (2015-03-10) of Highstocks and Highcharts, so I downloaded latest versions from [https://www.highcharts.com/blog/download/ the Highstock link] on this page. I then created a new folder obsolete at "\CumulusMX\interface\lib\highstock\js", moved the folders "modules" and "themes" that were there in my new folder, and the various highstock and highchart files that were there were moved into the obsolete folder. Now I navigated to the code folder within that download, copied the files within it to "\CumulusMX\interface\lib\highstock\js" and then copied the folders "modules" and "themes" from that code download folder into the same location. So now (in March 2020) everything is related to version 8.04 released 10 March 2020. | ||
#*As downloaded, "\CumulusMX\webfiles\lib\jquery" contained jQuery version 1.9.1, that is 2014 vintage and very obsolete, I already have the latest jQuery on my web server, so I did not need to put that new version into this webfiles\lib location, I just noted that this new path meant I ''may'' have to make some change on my web server later. If you do want to use a newer version of jQuery on your web site, you can download latest compressed production version from [https://jquery.com/download/ jQuery web site]. I prefixed the version in the MX package with the word OBSOLETE (OBSOLETEjquery-latest.min.js), you will find the latest version you download is called '''jquery-3.4.1.min.js'''. If necessary, rename that to "jquery-latest.min.js" to match the name that MX uses. | |||
#*I also noted "\CumulusMX\interface\lib\jquery" also contained the same jQuery version 1.9.1, that is 2014 vintage and very obsolete, whether you update that or not is your choice, but there is no guarantee that the MX user interface will work fully with latest jQuery version. | |||

The locale I used for Cumulus 1 is going to be the same I will use for MX (same PC!) so my copying across of my existing files should be fairly easy: | The locale I used for Cumulus 1 is going to be the same I will use for MX (same PC!) so my copying across of my existing files should be fairly easy: | ||
