Changed
- Now requires Microsoft .Net 8.0 rather than mono to run under Linux and MacOS
- All data files are now written/read as invariant - dayfile, monthly log files, extra log files, AirLink, and custom log files
- NOTE: Custom log files may require the user to alter their configuration to use comma separators and add the rc=y parameter to numeric web tags
- Monthly log files now renamed to "[yyyyMM]log.txt" to remove localised month name - and now sortable in the file system!
- Added MigrateData3to4 utility.
Basic workflow:
- Clean install v4
- Copy v3 Cumulus.ini to root
- Copy v3 /data and /Reports folders to v4 install
- Rename the /data folder to /datav3
- Run MigrateData3to4
- Done! - Removed previously deprecated web tags
CO2-24h, CO2-pm2p5, CO2-pm2p5-24h, CO2-pm10, CO2-temp, CO2-hum - Loading dayfile now continues on error and reports total errors - only the first 20 errors are logged
