- The initial log conversion may take some time depending on the host computer. It is recommended to perform the initial run in a console so you can see the progress and any errors
- Required changes to Ambient Extra Sensor Stations: If you use an Ambient station as an Extra Sensors station, then after upgrading to this release you MUST check which sensors are enabled in the extra station configuration
- Required updated for MySQL users: If you use the standard MySQL uploads, then there are two additional columns in the Monthly table. Please run the table updater in the MySQL settings when you first run this release
- Required update for existing Windy.com upload users: This version of MX switches to using the new Windy v2 API, this API requires you to enter the full Station ID in the Windy Settings
