Unfortunately, there is no list anywhere of all features in Cumulus 1. [[About_Cumulus|About_Cumulus does not cover all features]]. Nor is there a list of features still to be introduced into MX. Thus this section is neither authoritative nor definitive.
Unfortunately, there is no list anywhere of all features in Cumulus 1. [[About_Cumulus|About_Cumulus does not cover all features]]. Nor is there a list of features still to be introduced into MX. Thus this section is neither authoritative nor definitive.  It is possible that functionality listed here might be considered in the future, but I have seen no hint of it being considered.


One big feature that Cumulus 1 had was this '''view period''' screen as illustrated here and described above, where you could specify any start and end dates, so it was easy to see a summary for any day in the past, any week in the past, any month, year or season, whatever you needed. MX does not offer anything like this.

Cumulus 1 creates a [[Speciallog.txt|special log]] containing just temperature and humidity values, this is NOT available in MX.

Although from version 1.7.5 onwards the original Cumulus counts air frosts and gale days, this feature is not in MX.

Another feature still missing from MX is the "Create Missing" feature that read the standard logs to work out approximate (because not accessing values for every second of day) entries to go in dayfile.txt.
