== Introduction ==▼
[[File:Crystal Clear info.png|40px]] This page was written for the (legacy) Cumulus 1 software. It has been partially updated to cover MX, but that was for a MX release that is no longer latest!
Please can a contributor redesign this page and update content, so it is more friendly for those using latest release, while still helping those using older MX releases and the legacy Cumulus software.
The log file "year.ini" (introduced by 1.9.1 beta builds) is where Cumulus software tracks the extremes for this year. Like [[alltime.ini]] (which has been present since very early builds) this log file has section headings with lists of properties (attribute = value). ▼

= Format of the file =
This is as described at [[:Category:Ini_Files]], where some differences between the legacy Cumulus and MX are noted. Therefore if you use decimal commas and are migrating this '''year.ini''' file from Cumulus 1 to MX, you need to do an edit so all the values entries are converted to use a full stop as decimal separator.
You may find it useful to read the [[Month.ini|month.ini]] page, which goes into slightly more detail as much of that applies to this file too.
For more information on this file see in the Cumulus 1 help file, in the section “Data log file format”. MX has changed to an ISO date format for each new time-stamp, but otherwise the file works the same way.
If you do move "year.ini" from Cumulus 1 to Cumulus MX and were using a comma as your decimal separator (e.g. 12,1) you will need to edit your file and change each (e.g. 12,1) to use a full stop before MX can read it (e.g. 12.1).
For full details see [[Correcting Extremes]] page.
