The Cumulus Wiki was copied 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. Consequently, the Cumulus 1 files were linked to this "Downloads" page by Ken at that time, as part of the migration of the Wiki.▼

If you are an Instromet user, and your logger operates at 19200 baud, you should use special build 1101 at [https://cumuluswiki.org/Downloads/CumulusSetup1101.zip special 1.9.4 build 1101].

When Steve Loft was about to retire from involvement with Cumulus, he wanted to close his web server. His server (sandaysoft.com) had hosted the wiki, the support forum, and some of the downloads were at http://sandaysoft.com/downloads. The other downloads (used mostly for beta and special releases) were at http://www.nybbles.co.uk/downloads which was also closed.
▲The Cumulus Wiki was copied by Ken True to
The next month (November 2018), Steve Loft sought a new host for the support forum, as next part of closing his web server. The Cumulus MX beta that Steve Loft was writing and hosting on his web server was available as a download within the support forum. When Niall Hosiene ("Freddie") took over hosting of the forum, all the forum contents were moved by him to his server.
It appears (as the main page suggests "We've added download links for Cumulus V1 and Cumulus MX in the new Software/Downloads page ") there was a bit of conflict between '''Downloads''' page and '''Software''' page.
*Ken True created new "Downloads" section in this Wiki referenced from other pages; to this were added the Cumulus 1 final version software download, the help file download and the Cumulus 1 special downloads for Instromet.
*Mark Crossley taking over Cumulus MX development created a new Wiki page just for MX, called software with links to his GitHub pages where the source and distributions for MX are now held (instead of as attachments to forum posts).
*Niall Hosiene (the forum host) edited the new Software page to make MX dominant, he was so keen to promote MX, he downgraded Cumulus 1 to legacy and made it difficult to find links to the various Cumulus 1 downloads. In promoting the "Software" page, he overlooked that other pages in this Wiki were linking to the original downloads page.
Subsequently:
#this wiki page has been resurrected for Cumulus 1
#the Software page has been improved by Ken True, and now has better links to Cumulus 1 and the patch.
