==Date Selection==
* The first public (1.0) release of Cumulus was on 27th January 2004 (Steve Loft had been developing Cumulus just for his own use during much of 2003).
* As Cumulus developed, various screens were added (history available at [[Cumulus_Versions|Cumulus Versions]]) involving selections of a date (view month, view year, view period, and view NOAA report)
*
* Obviously the day selector has 31 choices (1 to 31) and the month selector has 12 choices (January to December). The year selector also offered a choice of just 12, but the earliest and latest year were advanced in subsequent major releases as the years moved on.
* A Mark Crossley patch can be applied to the final Steve Loft build 1099 software, the patch simply edits one component that changes the year drop-down selection to include the years 2020 to 2030, making it easier to select years in the current decade (at time of typing this) in the relevant screen box. The other files installed by the standard 1099 download are still needed for the patched file to work.▼
* Release 1.9.0 was made available on 11 September 2010, and from then (until final 1.9.4 version in 2014), the years available were 2008 to 2020 (In 2014 when Steve Loft last worked on this software the year 2020 still seemed a long way into future).
* Until the final 1.9.4 build, the software still allowed you to type in years that were not in the drop down, it even permitted selection of non existent dates like 29 February 2009, but the final build removed the ability to select by typing (because Steve Loft was abandoning Cumulus 1 and assumed users would not still be using it in 2020).
