When Steve Loft was about to retire from involvement with Cumulus, he wanted to close his web server. Consequently, a new host was needed for Wiki and the software that had been on the old server.
 
The Cumulus Wiki was movedcopied by Ken True to this site in October, 2018 as part of the shutdown of Steve's sandaysoft.com website with his retirement, and the software files were moved at same time. It appears (asConsequently, the main page suggests "We've added download links for Cumulus V11 andfiles Cumuluswere MXlinked into thethis new Software/"Downloads" page "by thereKen wasat athat bit of conflict between two different authorstime, as topart whether to callof the pagemigration softwareof orthe downloadsWiki.
 
LaterThe next month (November 2018), Steve Loft sought a new host for the support forum, whichas alsonext part of closing his web server. Consequently, a new host was needed for the forum and the files linked to it that included links to the MX beta he was writing and hosting on his web server. When Niall ("Freddie") took over hosting of the forum, the MX software that had been linked from the forum was moved to the Wiki on a new page [[Software|called Software]]. Unfortunately,It onappears that(as the main page suggests "We've added download links for Cumulus V1 and Cumulus MX in the new Software/Downloads page with") there was a bit of conflict between Ken maintaining Cumulus 1 downgradedwho tocreated legacy"Downloads", Mark, taking over Cumulus MX who created a separate page called software and Niall (the creatorforum ofhost) who rewrote the latter to partially merge them on that new Software page with Cumulus 1 downgraded to legacy. Unfortunately, Niall was so keen to promote the move to MX, he deliberately made it more difficult to find the files attached to this page, yetalso thishe overlooked that "Downloads" page was already referenced from other pages and those links were not updated.▼
Anyway, the Cumulus 1 files were linked to this "Downloads" page by Ken at that time, as part of the migration of the Wiki.
 
Consequently, I have modified this Wiki page back to a proper page, it now contains direct links to Cumulus 1 software download, but everything else related to Cumulus 1 for future reference (and historic interest). Subsequently, the Software page has been improved, and now has better links to Cumulus 1 and the patch.▼
▲Later, Steve Loft sought a new host for the support forum, which also included links to the MX beta he was writing. When Niall ("Freddie") took over hosting of the forum, the MX software that had been linked from the forum was moved to the Wiki on a new page [[Software|called Software]]. Unfortunately, on that new page with Cumulus 1 downgraded to legacy, the creator of that page was so keen to promote the move to MX, he deliberately made it more difficult to find the files attached to this page, yet this "Downloads" page was already referenced from other pages and those links were not updated.
