This page is a precis of the information contained in the support forum at [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887 Cumulus MX Announcements and Download - PLEASE READ FIRST]


This article lists in concise tabular format all MX releases starting at build 3045, the first with significant updates.
As that topic name suggests you should read it before you upgrade to a new release. If you are intending to upgrade to any new release, please read all of the release notes since the build you are currently running.

Mark Crossley brought MX out of the beta development with build 3050, but the preceding few builds contained important changes they are worth including here.

The very first version 3.0.0 build by Mark was 3044 which included some elements that were in Steve Loft's source (left to the Community when as part of his retirement he gave up involvement in Cumulus) but had not been previously released. However, 3044, 3045, 3046 were all experimental in that they tried to fix certain bugs and prepare a basis from which later builds could start really introducing new functionality, you can look them up at [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887 MX Current (releases since b3043)] in support forum.

The purpose of this article is to make it easier to look up what features were introduced at each version. It uses material taken from the support forum, both from the release announcements and from discussions about problems and fixes mentioned elsewhere, as often the official release announcement focusses on how affects user and does not cover all bug fixes and code improvements.

This article is NOT a comprehensive guide to what you need to do when upgrading. If you are using an old version and wish to know what version to update to, please see detailed advice in [[Updating MX to new version]] article.

'''This article is updated independently of release announcements in the forum, so may not always be in step.'''

== Information included in this article ==

Please note that the support files (e.g. those in folder interface) are not part of the commit when creating CumulusMX.exe. This can lead to the zip provided in the release download not matching the release description in the formal announcement. In extreme cases, as some entries in tables below show, it has been flagged where the wrong files are included.

The tables below include
* version number,
* date of release (date when the principal changes in the build were first available in a public release),
**please note that changes to some support files included in a release zip may be made after the build release date without being announced as a new build, and sometimes updated support files have accidentally appeared in zip for an earlier release than that of formal release.
* build number,
* summary of any fixes or improvements to existing functionality
*summary of any new functionality made available in build
*Basic indication of those files that have been updated, removed, or added.
**Please note that as "Updates.txt" is updated in every release it does not normally appear in any list below of files that have been updated in an individual release. If you are only copying updated files then always copy in this file, as well as any listed.
** In a few releases the files included in the zip have had some inconsistencies with what is reported as the changed files. This is generally because either a particular correction was made in advance of other preparation for a new release and forgotten about, or because a minor correction was made after the formal release.
**For the rare case where the files included are not matched with the commit to form the executable, this may mean although you have a working release for most aspects of MX, some functionality within MX does not work at that release.


There are currently 8 forks off from Cumulus MX on the githum.com, with other developers experimenting with Cumulus MX in different ways. Only the Mark Crossley releases are listed below.

== Instructions ==

This page is a prećis of the information contained in the support forum at [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887 Cumulus MX Announcements and Download - PLEASE READ FIRST]

As that topic name suggests you should read it before you upgrade to a new release. If you are intending to upgrade to any new release, please read all of the release notes since the build you are currently running.

=== If you only want to update those files that have changed since the release you are currently using ===

Best practice is to copy all files included in the release zip irrespective of whether they have changed or not, but this could mean a lot of extra transfers you want to avoid.

The problem is that changes may be made to the source at various times, and the developer my not recall all changes made when a new release is made, especially if it is rushed out to fix a bug.
Since the developer updates different files at different times, in-between releases, even the tracking facilities of Git Hub can make it hard to keep track of all files changed. Don't forget the developer is updating Cumulus MX in his spare time, he has a life outside MX.

'''It is always worth checking the date modified for every file in any release''', to ensure you include all updated files, not just those the developer remembered to include in the list of changed files that appears in each announcement.

At the time I typed this, there were '''261 files spread through 57 folders in each release zip'''. It is possible as you read this, that file count has been increased due to extra functionality!

== Finding Downloads ==

All releases can be downloaded on [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX/releases/ this page], the latest release can always be directly downloaded directly from link at [[Software#Current_Release|MX Current_Release]]. Don't forget neither download page will tell you what has changed since previous releases, nor does either page tell you any actions you must take if upgrading from a previous release.

Latest Update: 10 April 2020 (build 3072)


Any builds released since this date are listed in the support forum, but not yet added below.
The recent surge in the number of releases is hard to keep up with, so do check in case there is yet another build listed in the support forum, but not yet added below.
Normally, before details of a release are added to this page a check is made that the formal release announcement does cover all changes made since previous release, to ensure the entry here is correct.

Latest Update to this page: 28 July 2020 (reporting build 3089)

'''Changes to the MYSQL database tables are required''': Adds column FeelsLike to the Monthly table: Adds columns MaxFeelsLike, TMaxFeelsLike, MinFeelsLike, TMinFeelsLike to the Dayfile table

New web tags: <#HighFeelsLikeRecordSet>, <#LowFeelsLikeRecordSet>, <#ByMonthFeelsLikeHT>, <#ByMonthFeelsLikeLT>, <#ByMonthFeelsLikeL>, <#ByMonthFeelsLikeH>, <#YearFeelsLikeHD>, <#YearFeelsLikeLD>, <#YearFeelsLikeHT>, <#YearFeelsLikeLT>, <#YearFeelsLikeH>, <#YearFeelsLikeL>, <#MonthFeelsLikeHD>, <#MonthFeelsLikeLD>, <#MonthFeelsLikeHT>, <#MonthFeelsLikeLT>, <#MonthFeelsLikeH>, <#MonthFeelsLikeL>, <#feelslikeH>, <#TfeelslikeH>, <#feelslikeL>, <#TfeelslikeL>, <#feelslikeYH>, <#TfeelslikeYH>, <#feelslikeYL>, <#TfeelslikeYL>, <#feelslikeTH>, <#TfeelslikeTH>, <#feelslikeTL>, <#TfeelslikeTL>

The following web tags have been updated to accept a "tx=n" parameter, where n=1-8 and equals the desired transmitter id.
Omitting the tx= parameter or using tx=0 makes the tag function as before for Davis VP2 systems. <#DavisTotalPacketsMissed tx=n>, <#DavisNumberOfResynchs tx=n>, <#DavisMaxInARow tx=n>, <#DavisNumCRCerrors tx=n>
New web tags for WLL transmitter reception percentage and RSSI figure, these must be used with the tx=n parameter
<#DavisReceptionPercent tx=n> - defaults to tx=1, tx=0 is unused; <#DavisTxRssi tx=n> - defaults to tx=1, use tx=0 to get the WLL WiFi RSSI

Updated record editors; Updated log file viewers/editors; Adds battery and reception data for Davis WLL. It now logs battery and input voltages to the MXdiags. These are updated every 15 minutes and require you to have a WeatherLink Pro subscription.
The WLL unlike the VP2 console provides individual data for each transmitter

Updated ExportMySQL.exe to version 1.1.0 - Incorporates the new Feels Like data; Uses compass point "-" for Calm; Reads customised compass points from strings.ini if set

Introduction

This article lists in concise tabular format all MX releases starting at build 3045, the first with significant updates.

Mark Crossley brought MX out of the beta development with build 3050, but the preceding few builds contained important changes they are worth including here.

The very first version 3.0.0 build by Mark was 3044 which included some elements that were in Steve Loft's source (left to the Community when as part of his retirement he gave up involvement in Cumulus) but had not been previously released. However, 3044, 3045, 3046 were all experimental in that they tried to fix certain bugs and prepare a basis from which later builds could start really introducing new functionality, you can look them up at MX Current (releases since b3043) in support forum.

The purpose of this article is to make it easier to look up what features were introduced at each version. It uses material taken from the support forum, both from the release announcements and from discussions about problems and fixes mentioned elsewhere, as often the official release announcement focusses on how affects user and does not cover all bug fixes and code improvements.

This article is NOT a comprehensive guide to what you need to do when upgrading. If you are using an old version and wish to know what version to update to, please see detailed advice in Updating MX to new version article.

This article is updated independently of release announcements in the forum, so may not always be in step.


Information included in this article

Please note that the support files (e.g. those in folder interface) are not part of the commit when creating CumulusMX.exe. This can lead to the zip provided in the release download not matching the release description in the formal announcement. In extreme cases, as some entries in tables below show, it has been flagged where the wrong files are included.

The tables below include

  • version number,
  • date of release (date when the principal changes in the build were first available in a public release),
    • please note that changes to some support files included in a release zip may be made after the build release date without being announced as a new build, and sometimes updated support files have accidentally appeared in zip for an earlier release than that of formal release.
  • build number,
  • summary of any fixes or improvements to existing functionality
  • summary of any new functionality made available in build
  • Basic indication of those files that have been updated, removed, or added.
    • Please note that as "Updates.txt" is updated in every release it does not normally appear in any list below of files that have been updated in an individual release. If you are only copying updated files then always copy in this file, as well as any listed.
    • In a few releases the files included in the zip have had some inconsistencies with what is reported as the changed files. This is generally because either a particular correction was made in advance of other preparation for a new release and forgotten about, or because a minor correction was made after the formal release.
    • For the rare case where the files included are not matched with the commit to form the executable, this may mean although you have a working release for most aspects of MX, some functionality within MX does not work at that release.


There are currently 8 forks off from Cumulus MX on the githum.com, with other developers experimenting with Cumulus MX in different ways. Only the Mark Crossley releases are listed below.

Instructions

This page is a prećis of the information contained in the support forum at Cumulus MX Announcements and Download - PLEASE READ FIRST

As that topic name suggests you should read it before you upgrade to a new release. If you are intending to upgrade to any new release, please read all of the release notes since the build you are currently running.

If you only want to update those files that have changed since the release you are currently using

Best practice is to copy all files included in the release zip irrespective of whether they have changed or not, but this could mean a lot of extra transfers you want to avoid.

The problem is that changes may be made to the source at various times, and the developer my not recall all changes made when a new release is made, especially if it is rushed out to fix a bug. Since the developer updates different files at different times, in-between releases, even the tracking facilities of Git Hub can make it hard to keep track of all files changed. Don't forget the developer is updating Cumulus MX in his spare time, he has a life outside MX.

It is always worth checking the date modified for every file in any release, to ensure you include all updated files, not just those the developer remembered to include in the list of changed files that appears in each announcement.

At the time I typed this, there were 261 files spread through 57 folders in each release zip. It is possible as you read this, that file count has been increased due to extra functionality!

Finding Downloads

All releases can be downloaded on this page, the latest release can always be directly downloaded directly from link at MX Current_Release. Don't forget neither download page will tell you what has changed since previous releases, nor does either page tell you any actions you must take if upgrading from a previous release.

Revision Date

The recent surge in the number of releases is hard to keep up with, so do check in case there is yet another build listed in the support forum, but not yet added below. Normally, before details of a release are added to this page a check is made that the formal release announcement does cover all changes made since previous release, to ensure the entry here is correct.

Latest Update to this page: 28 July 2020 (reporting build 3089)
