When Steve Loft was about to retire from involvement with Cumulus, he wanted to close his web server. Consequently, a new host was needed for Wiki and the software that had been on the old server. | When Steve Loft was about to retire from involvement with Cumulus, he wanted to close his web server.

The Cumulus Wiki was | The Cumulus Wiki was copied by Ken True to this site in October, 2018 as part of the shutdown of Steve's sandaysoft.com website with his retirement, and the software files were moved at same time. Consequently, the Cumulus 1 files were linked to this "Downloads" page by Ken at that time, as part of the migration of the Wiki. | ||
The next month (November 2018), Steve Loft sought a new host for the support forum, as next part of closing his web server. Consequently, a new host was needed for the forum and the files linked to it that included links to the MX beta he was writing and hosting on his web server. When Niall ("Freddie") took over hosting of the forum, the MX software that had been linked from the forum was moved to the Wiki on a new page [[Software|called Software]]. It appears (as the main page suggests "We've added download links for Cumulus V1 and Cumulus MX in the new Software/Downloads page ") there was a bit of conflict between Ken maintaining Cumulus 1 who created "Downloads", Mark, taking over Cumulus MX who created a separate page called software and Niall (the forum host) who rewrote the latter to partially merge them on that new Software page with Cumulus 1 downgraded to legacy. Unfortunately, Niall was so keen to promote the move to MX, he deliberately made it more difficult to find the files attached to this page, also he overlooked that "Downloads" page was already referenced from other pages and those links were not updated. | |||
Consequently, I have modified this Wiki page back to a proper page, it now contains direct links to Cumulus 1 software download, but everything else related to Cumulus 1 for future reference (and historic interest). Subsequently, the Software page has been improved, and now has better links to Cumulus 1 and the patch. | |||
