The parameters listed can change the look of Cumulus, can hold basic information about your location, can amend the way Cumulus interfaces with your weather station, can hold the settings used to interface with your website, and with various external websites. | The parameters listed can change the look of Cumulus, can hold basic information about your location, can amend the way Cumulus interfaces with your weather station, can hold the settings used to interface with your website, and with various external websites. | ||

Similarly, the parameters available may vary between different versions/builds of MX, again ''checking the release information may be advisable'' to identify the sections applicable to your build, and to identify if the parameters allowed within those sections may be a subset of those listed below (although authors contributing to this article are expected to give some version information). | Similarly, the parameters available may vary between different versions/builds of MX, again ''checking the release information may be advisable'' to identify the sections applicable to your build, and to identify if the parameters allowed within those sections may be a subset of those listed below (although authors contributing to this article are expected to give some version information). | ||
== Completeness of this list == | |||
'''Please note that this list is not updated by the developers when they change the software to react to a new attribute, therefore there is no guarantee that all attributes available appear in this documentation.''' | |||
If you spot a parameter that is missing from this list (check you are looking in the right section, and under the correct sub-heading where a section is sub-divided for ease of using this article), then please add it to this Wiki article. None of the authors who have contributed so far can claim completeness. Sometimes a search on the forum for something else reveals a mention of an additional parameter that can be added to the file but has not been previously added to this list. | |||
There have been over a thousand builds of Cumulus version 1 and much of this article has been written based on experience in using Cumulus, it may not reflect every parameter that can be manually added to the file, although it does reflect all those linked with settings made on various screens. | |||
== Beta builds == | |||
When beta builds of Cumulus 1 were made by Steve Loft, they could be downloaded by anybody, and if there were any differences for the configuration file in that beta they would be listed in the [[Cumulus.ini_(Beta)|Cumulus.ini Beta article]], because some people might decide to use last stable release. When that beta ended, and only the stable release was available, any details from the beta page would be transferred into this article. | |||
Now that Cumulus 1 is no longer under development, it will not have any beta builds. | |||
Steve Loft kept MX in beta while he was developing it. This page continued to show what applied to Cumulus 1, and what applied to MX was placed in the [[Cumulus.ini_(Beta)|Cumulus.ini Beta article]]. | |||
After Mark Crossley took over development of MX he ended that beta. All information that was on the beta page was moved into this article that now covers both Cumulus 1 and MX in one place. | |||
When Mark is producing a new major version of MX he typically issues it in beta to a restricted number of users by email, he does not make any beta release public. For this reason, it is not anticipated there is going to be any use of the [[Cumulus.ini_(Beta)|Cumulus.ini Beta article]] while Cumulus 3 (MX) continues to develop, although of course a Cumulus 4 is in development and we wait to see what might happen when that is ready for a public release. | |||
