= Note about this article =
It appears there was a bit of conflict between '''Downloads''' page and '''Software''' page. The main page previously said "We've added download links for Cumulus V1 and Cumulus MX in the new Software/Downloads page " because of this. Since then the [[Original Cumulus Wiki|original Main Page]] has been updated, the legacy Cumulus and Cumulus MX links are now in separate columns of the table, and the introductory text has been revised.
#When Steve Loft was about to retire from involvement with Cumulus, he wanted to close his web server.
#*Subsequently he added the source zip that Steve Loft made available (the source included some changes not in that Steve Loft
#The next month (November 2018), Steve Loft sought a new host for the support forum, as next part of closing his web server.
#*When Niall Malpeli-Hosiene ("Freddie") took over hosting of the forum, Ken True updated the relevant Wiki pages here.
#On 7 December 2018, Mark Crossley decided to take on further development of Cumulus MX
#*Mark added copies of Steve Loft's MX-beta release, and the released MX source to Marks' Github repository he created for Cumulus MX.
#*Mark maintains the links to the Github repository for the latest release on the Software page of this Wiki.
#*The early releases by Mark continued to be labelled "beta release", but soon Mark brought MX out of beta, so links were described as "current release"
#In March 2019, Niall Malpeli-Hosiene (Freddie) edited the new Software page to make it one destination for both the "primary product" (MX) and what he renamed "legacy software" (original Cumulus 1), in removing the original "Downloads" page, he overlooked that other pages in this Wiki were still linking to the original Downloads page.
#* He was so keen to promote MX, his downgrade of Cumulus 1 to legacy, created some confusion by hiding some links that were still applicable in a MX world below Cumulus 1.
#* Mark made some changes to Neil's design for the Software page in October 2019, but there was a subsequent rollback to the "Freddie" March 2019 design
