→All-time extreme functionality
|
For simplicity, this article will only document the development of all-time functionality, it should be obvious that for other extremes mentioned in the introduction, full extreme record data was not available in all Cumulus releases for all the weather variables that the latest release reports. In general, daily extreme functionality was added first, this month/year extreme functionality followed that, and all-time was introduced before monthly-all-time. Also, this section has intentionally been kept brief, and does not list all bugs that might result in incorrect extremes being stored, nor when such bugs were subsequently resolved.
{{Version badge 1}}There were bugs introduced sometimes in builds of the original Cumulus (known now as Cumulus 1). Information about a few of the bugs and fixes can be found in [[File:Changes.zip]], although that does not cover any 1.7.x versions, and does not detail bugs created and fixed within the beta builds. More information may be found by searching within [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=2 Cumulus forum announcements], but it will require a lot of effort as there are a lot of posts to search. (For historic interest only, one example is that what is stored in '''month.ini''' and '''year.ini''' depends on when they were first created, because they are initiated from the daily summary log for the relevant period, an individual parameter can only be initialised if the corresponding field is present in '''dayfile.txt''' for the whole of that period).
[[File:Badge vMx.png]]Cumulus MX had lots of bugs in its early builds. So if you ever used Cumulus MX versions 3.0.0 to 3.3.0, you cannot rely that all all-time extreme records
