== Cumulus 2 ==
This is no longer available as it never worked satisfactorily.
While Cumulus 1 used local time, (with some oddities when daylight saving time started and finished), Cumulus 2 logged everything in UTC, the idea was to avoid issues with time zones, but actually implementing that for Cumulus users all round the world was not as easy as Steve Loft expected.
Some of its features were incorporated into Cumulus 1.9.x and from there into Cumulus MX. ▼
Steve Loft felt he wasted a lot of time working on Cumulus 2, as he found using C# code a real struggle. He stopped, and restarted, its development a few times, before finally giving up. In the end, only a small number of users did use it.
Some other ideas like standardising on ISO format for dates; separating the engine and admin interface; and a few more; formed the basis for Cumulus 3.
