***RG11portName=COM2 (for Windows or /dev/ttyUSB2 for Linux) |
|||
***RG11portName2=COM3 (for Windows or /dev/ttyUSB3 for Linux) |
|||
*Update: The default Comm port values are now set to either COM1 or /dev/ttyUSB0 depending on the platform. Hopefully this will prevent some of the confusion of new users. |
|||
== 3045 - December 23, 2018 == |
|||
*Fix: Davis TCP connections. Added additional error handling, should now be much more robust and attempt to reconnect on failure. |
|||
*New: Astro calcs for Solar |
|||
**Added refraction correction. |
|||
**updated to add some extra terms. |
|||
*Fix: Removed URL encode Twitter messages added in b3044 |
|||
*New: Added second order humidity correction factor, works the same as the temperature. It has to be set manually in Cumulus.ini. |
|||
**[Offsets] |
|||
**HumMult2=0.0 |
|||
*New: FTP Updates |
|||
**Now supports FTPS over TLS1.1 and 1.2 |
|||
**In Passive FTP, you can disable Enhanced Passive (EPSV) mode if it causes problems with your host. Some hosts are reporting they support it, but a firewall along the route cannot handle the connections. |
|||
***Requires manually adding a new Cumulus.ini entry... |
|||
****[FTP site] |
|||
****DisableEPSV=1 |
|||
*Update: RealtimeGaugesTxt is no longer automatically enabled for FTP. |
|||
*New: Web Sockets are no longer on a separate port, it shares the same port as HTTP. |
|||
The wsport command line switch is still recognised for backwards compatibility, but it is no longer used. |
|||
*Fix: Fine Offset with solar logger reading, now limited to the reduced number of logger entries available on solar stations. |
|||
*Fix: Fix for Slovenian locale (and any other with a two character date separator) |
|||
== |
== 3046 - January 2, 2019 == |
||
*Weather Diary |
|||
**Added Weather Diary page to management interface |
|||
**Added diary.db file to daily backup files |
|||
**Removed diary.db from distribution (it is created on first use to avoid overwriting the file on CMX distro updates) |
|||
*Web Tags |
|||
**Added <#snowdepth> tag processing |
|||
*ET annual roll-over fix |
|||
*Fix to TLS 1.2 FTPS of the 'periodic' files |
|||
== 3047 - February 2, 2019 == |
|||
*Web token parser updated to cope with html tag characters "<>" in the format string. |
|||
**You can now do things like... |
|||
:::<nowiki><#TapptempH format="dd' 'MMM' 'yyyy'<span class=\'xx\'> at 'HH:mm'</span>'"></nowiki> |
|||
:::which gives... |
|||
:::<nowiki>04 Dec 2018<span class='xx'> at 10:12</span></nowiki> |
|||
:::Note: that you have to use single quotes for HTML entity names, and they have to be escaped "\'" |
|||
*New Davis Baud Rate setting |
|||
**Allows you to alter the speed of the serial connection to Davis loggers |
|||
**Configured manually in Cumulus.ini [Station] section |
|||
:::DavisBaudRate=19200 (default) Permitted values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200 |
|||
*Added new option for the "Extra files" - End of Day |
|||
**Enabling this means that file will only be processed/copied/FTPed once a day during the end of day roll-over. |
|||
**There is a new Cumulus.ini file setting for each "extra" file associated with this setting |
|||
**Note there is currently no check between Realtime and End of Day settings, you could check both options and the file will be processed at both the realtime interval AND end of day - which would not make much sense! |
|||
:::ExtraEOD[nn] |
|||

|||
*Change the Fine Offset Synchronised Reads option to default to enabled |
|||

- RG11portName2=COM3 (for Windows or /dev/ttyUSB3 for Linux)
- For example:
- Update: The default Comm port values are now set to either COM1 or /dev/ttyUSB0 depending on the platform. Hopefully this will prevent some of the confusion of new users.
3045 - December 23, 2018
- Fix: Davis TCP connections. Added additional error handling, should now be much more robust and attempt to reconnect on failure.
- New: Astro calcs for Solar
- Added refraction correction.
- updated to add some extra terms.
- Fix: Removed URL encode Twitter messages added in b3044
- New: Added second order humidity correction factor, works the same as the temperature. It has to be set manually in Cumulus.ini.
- [Offsets]
- HumMult2=0.0
- New: FTP Updates
- Now supports FTPS over TLS1.1 and 1.2
- In Passive FTP, you can disable Enhanced Passive (EPSV) mode if it causes problems with your host. Some hosts are reporting they support it, but a firewall along the route cannot handle the connections.
- Requires manually adding a new Cumulus.ini entry...
- [FTP site]
- DisableEPSV=1
- Requires manually adding a new Cumulus.ini entry...
- Update: RealtimeGaugesTxt is no longer automatically enabled for FTP.
- New: Web Sockets are no longer on a separate port, it shares the same port as HTTP.
The wsport command line switch is still recognised for backwards compatibility, but it is no longer used.
- Fix: Fine Offset with solar logger reading, now limited to the reduced number of logger entries available on solar stations.
- Fix: Fix for Slovenian locale (and any other with a two character date separator)
3046 - January 2, 2019
- Weather Diary
- Added Weather Diary page to management interface
- Added diary.db file to daily backup files
- Removed diary.db from distribution (it is created on first use to avoid overwriting the file on CMX distro updates)
- Web Tags
- Added <#snowdepth> tag processing
- ET annual roll-over fix
- Fix to TLS 1.2 FTPS of the 'periodic' files
3047 - February 2, 2019
- Web token parser updated to cope with html tag characters "<>" in the format string.
- You can now do things like...
- <#TapptempH format="dd' 'MMM' 'yyyy'<span class=\'xx\'> at 'HH:mm'</span>'">
- which gives...
- 04 Dec 2018<span class='xx'> at 10:12</span>
- Note: that you have to use single quotes for HTML entity names, and they have to be escaped "\'"
- New Davis Baud Rate setting
- Allows you to alter the speed of the serial connection to Davis loggers
- Configured manually in Cumulus.ini [Station] section
- DavisBaudRate=19200 (default) Permitted values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200
- Added new option for the "Extra files" - End of Day
- Enabling this means that file will only be processed/copied/FTPed once a day during the end of day roll-over.
- There is a new Cumulus.ini file setting for each "extra" file associated with this setting
- Note there is currently no check between Realtime and End of Day settings, you could check both options and the file will be processed at both the realtime interval AND end of day - which would not make much sense!
- ExtraEOD[nn]
- Improvement to Instromet logger protocol handling
- Change the Fine Offset Synchronised Reads option to default to enabled
- Change VP2 automatic disabling of LOOP2 to an advisory message, as the firmware version is not always detected.
