=== Cumulus 1 ===
The installer for the FINAL release of the legacy Cumulus 1 is available here:
#*The new year drop-down selectors will make it easier to choose date entries up to the year 2030 (updated 28 Jan 2020).
#*Note this is not the full installation package, just one file to replace the suite of files created by the installer, a patched .exe.
#**Without the patch, on the "this period" type screens you can still manually enter any year,but you have to over-type with the full year yourself.
#* Without the patch, there is no problem with automatic generation of NOAA reports, but you cannot regenerate them.
There are still many people using this legacy software (some using final release version, some using earlier builds), so there is still some support available.
However, during 2020 to 2021 there was an avalanche of people who used to use the legacy software swapping to MX. Be aware, the longer you wait before swapping, the more that MX will have developed away from the legacy, and potentially the more difficulty you might encounter with the migration of your data files.
==== Special Variants ====
It is '''STRONGLY RECOMMENDED''' that users of Cumulus '''1.9.4 variants''' migrate to Cumulus MX, which has ongoing support by
*[//{{SERVERNAME}}/Downloads/CumulusSetup1100.zip Cumulus 1.9.4 build 1100 setup] '''Use ONLY if you are an Instromet user''', and your logger operates at 115200 baud, you should use build 1100
*[//{{SERVERNAME}}/Downloads/CumulusSetup1101.zip Cumulus 1.9.4 build 1101 setup] '''Use ONLY if you are an Instromet user''', and your logger operates at 19200 baud, you should use build 1101
*'''NOTE:''' '''These Cumulus 1.9.4 variants will not have any updates in the future.'''
* The patch for Cumulus.exe, cannot be used with these variants
*
**For example, this will happen on manual generation of NOAA-style reports.
**This does not affect any automatic generation of NOAA reports, but does prevent re-generation.
▲It is '''STRONGLY RECOMMENDED''' that users of Cumulus '''1.9.4 variants''' migrate to Cumulus MX, which has ongoing support by mcrossley. The baud rate can be selected within MX as a configuration setting.
