<p>This document explains the three methods of upgrading:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="#Upgrading_using_setup.py">Upgrading using <span class='code'>setup.py</span></a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="#Upgrading_using_DEB_package">Upgrading using DEB package</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="#Upgrading_using_RPM_package">Upgrading using RPM package</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The section <em><a href="#Instructions_for_specific_versions">Instructions for Specific Versions</a></em>
|
|
describes changes required from one version to the next. These changes
|
|
apply to every upgrade method.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="warning"><strong>Warning!</strong><br/>
|
|
You must use the same upgrade technique as your initial install!
|
|
For example, if you used <span class="code">setup.py</span> to install
|
|
<span class='code'>weewx</span>, you should use
|
|
<span class="code">setup.py</span> to upgrade.
|
|
If you used a DEB or RPM package to install, then you should upgrade
|
|
using the same package type.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1><a name="Upgrading_using_setup.py">Upgrading using <span class='code'>setup.py</span></a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before upgrading <span class="code">weewx</span>, check the section <em>
|
|
<a href="#Instructions_for_specific_versions">Instructions for
|
|
Specific Versions</a></em> to see if any specific
|
|
actions are
|
|
required. Then follow the standard installation procedure:</p>
|
|
<p>Unpack the archive:</p>
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">tar xvfz weewx-X.Y.Z.tar.gz</pre>
|
|
<p>Change directory into it:</p>
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">cd weewx-X.Y.Z </pre>
|
|
<p>Build the distribution:</p>
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">./setup.py build </pre>
|
|
<p>Install <span class='code'>weewx</span>:</p>
|
|
<p class='warning'><strong>Warning!</strong><br/>
|
|
Before doing the next step, be sure that <span class="code">home</span>
|
|
in the file <span class="code">setup.cfg</span> is set to the location
|
|
of the previous <span class='code'>weewx</span> installation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">sudo ./setup.py install </pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The install process will do the following: </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Save the old <span class="code">bin</span> directory as
|
|
<span class='code'>bin.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS</span>
|
|
where YYYYMMDDHHMMSS is a timestamp
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Install the new version in the <span class="code">bin</span>
|
|
directory, while preserving any user extensions in the
|
|
<span class="code">bin/user</span> directory
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Save a copy of the old <span class="code">weewx.conf</span> as
|
|
<span class='code'>weewx.conf.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS</span>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Merge any changes made to the old configuration file
|
|
<span class="code">weewx.conf</span> into the new configuration
|
|
file, then install the merged copy. This effectively causes any
|
|
changes to override the values in the new version of
|
|
<span class="code">weewx.conf</span>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Install a <span class="code">skins</span> directory if
|
|
one does not already exist.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

<h1><a name="Upgrading_using_DEB_package">Upgrading using DEB package</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Upgrade to X.Y.Z like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>sudo dpkg -i weewx_X.Y.Z-R.deb</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The upgrade process will not modify the <span class='code'>weewx</span>
|
|
databases.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Unmodified files will be upgraded. If modifications have been made to
|
|
the weewx configuration, you will be prompted as to whether you want to
|
|
keep the existing configuration or accept the new configuration. Either
|
|
way, <span class='code'>dpkg</span> will save a copy of the option you
|
|
did not choose.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, if <span class='code'>/etc/weewx/weewx.conf</span> was
|
|
modified, <span class='code'>dpkg</span> will present a message
|
|
something like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class='tty'>Configuration file `/etc/weewx/weewx.conf'
|
|
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
|
|
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
|
|
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
|
|
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
|
|
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
|
|
D : show the differences between the versions
|
|
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
|
|
The default action is to keep your current version.
|
|
*** weewx.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?</pre>
|
|
<p>Choosing <span class='code'>I</span> (install the new version) will
|
|
place the previous configuration in
|
|
<span class='code'>/etc/weewx/weewx.conf.dpkg-old</span> where it can
|
|
be compared with the new version
|
|
<span class='code'>/etc/weewx/weewx.conf</span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Choosing <span class='code'>O</span> (keep the current version) will
|
|
place the new configuration in
|
|
<span class='code'>/etc/weewx/weewx.conf.dpkg-new</span> where it
|
|
can be compared with the old version
|
|
<span class='code'>/etc/weewx/weewx.conf</span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h1><a name="Upgrading_using_RPM_package">Upgrading using RPM package</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Upgrade to X.Y.Z like this:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class='tty cmd'>sudo rpm -U weewx-X.Y.Z-R.rpm</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The upgrade process will not modify the <span class='code'>weewx</span>
|
|
databases.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Unmodified files will be upgraded. If modifications have been made to
|
|
the configuration, <span class='code'>rpm</span> will display a message
|
|
about any differences between the changes and the new configuration.
|
|
Any new changes from the upgrade will be noted as files with a
|
|
<span class='code'>.rpmnew</span> extension and the modified files will
|
|
be left untouched.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, if <span class='code'>/etc/weewx/weewx.conf</span> was
|
|
modified, <span class='code'>rpm</span> will present a message
|
|
something like this:</p>

<h3>Changes to weewx.conf</h3>

|
|
|
<p>Release 3.2 introduces a new section
|
|
<span class='code'>[DatabaseTypes]</span>. This section defines the

|
default settings for each type of database. For example, the host,
|
|
user, and password for MySQL databases can be specified once in the
|
|
<span class='code'>DatabaseTypes</span> section instead of repeating
|
|
in each <span class='code'>Database</span> section. The defaults in
|
|
<span class='code'>DatabaseTypes</span> can be overridden in each
|
|
<span class='code'>Database</span> section as needed.

<h2>From V2.7 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Overview</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>While a lot has changed with Version 3, the upgrade process should
|
|
take care of most changes for most users. However, if you have
|
|
installed an extension or, especially, if you have written a custom
|
|
service, search list extension, or uploader, you will have to make
|
|
some changes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Database contents</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
With Version 3, there is no longer a separate "stats" database.
|
|
Instead, "daily summaries" have been included in the same database as
|
|
the archive data — everything is under one name. For example,
|
|
if you are using sqlite, both the archive data and the daily summaries
|
|
will be inside file <span class="code">weewx.sdb</span>. With MySQL,
|
|
everything is inside the database <span class="code">weewx</span>. This
|
|
makes it easier to keep all data together when working with multiple
|
|
databases.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This change in database structure should be transparent to you. On
|
|
startup, weewx will automatically backfill the new internal daily
|
|
summaries from the archive data. Your old "stats" database will no
|
|
longer be used and may safely set aside or even deleted.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Pressure calibration</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Since the new <span class="code">StdWXCalculate</span> service is
|
|
applied after the <span class="code">StdCalibrate</span> services, the
|
|
<span class='code'>pressure_offset</span> parameter is no longer
|
|
necessary; pressure calibration can be applied just like any other
|
|
calibration. If your pressure was calibrated using the
|
|
<span class='code'>pressure_offset</span>
|
|
parameter, move the calibration to the
|
|
<span class="code">[StdCalibrate]</span>
|
|
section. This applies only to CC3000, FineOffsetUSB, Ultimeter, WS1,
|
|
WS23xx, and WS28xx hardware.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><span class="code">weewx.conf</span></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A version 2.X <span class="code">weewx.conf</span> file is not
|
|
compatible with Version 3.X. However, the upgrade process should
|
|
automatically update the file. Nevertheless, the changes are
|
|
documented below:

<h3>Custom data sources in skins</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The mechanism for specifying non-default data sources in skins has
|
|
changed. If you modified the Standard skin, or created or used other
|
|
skins that draw data from a database other than the weather database,
|
|
you must change how the other sources are specified.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, in the <span class='code'>cmon</span> extension:</p>
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr class="first_row">
|
|
<td style='width:50%'>2.7</td>
|
|
<td>3.0</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|

<h3>Extensions</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Many skins will work in v3 with no modification required. However,
|
|
every search list extension will have to be upgraded, every restful
|
|
extension must be upgraded, and some other services must be upgraded.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no automated upgrade system for extensions; if an extension
|
|
must be upgraded, you must do it manually. If the extension has any
|
|
python code, this will mean replacing any v2-compatible code with
|
|
v3-compatible code. In some cases parts of the configuration file
|
|
<span class='code'>weewx.conf</span> must be modified.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, to update the <span class='code'>pmon</span> extension,
|
|
replace <span class='code'>bin/user/pmon.py</span> with the
|
|
v3-compatible <span class='code'>pmon.py</span> and modify
|
|
<span class='code'>weewx.conf</span> as shown in this table:

<h3>Search list extensions</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The introduction of <em>data bindings</em> has meant a change in the
|
|
calling signature of <em>search list extensions.</em> By way of
|
|
example, here's the example from the section
|
|
<a href="customizing.htm#extending_the_list"><i>Extending the list</i></a>
|
|
in the <i>Customizing Guide</i>, with the
|
|
differences highlighted.

|
|
<p>A few things to note:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The name of the extension function has changed from
|
|
<span class="code">get_extension</span> to <span class="code">get_extension_list</span>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The calling signature has changed. Instead of an archive database
|
|
and a stats database being passed in, a single <em>database lookup
|
|
function</em> is passed in.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The name of the top-level class in the tag chain has changed from
|
|
<span class="code">TimeSpanStats</span> to <span class="code">TimespanBinder</span>.
|
|
See the <i>Customizing Guide</i> for details.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Instead of returning a single search list extension, the function
|
|
should now return a Python <span class="code">list</span> of
|
|
extensions. The list will be searched in order.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Derived quantities</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some calculations that were done in drivers or in hardware are now
|
|
done consistently by the new StdWXCalculate service. Drivers should no
|
|
longer calculate derived quantities such as windchill, heatindex,
|
|
dewpoint, or rain rate.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Driver APIs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The base class for drivers has been renamed, and new, optional,
|
|
methods have been defined to provide hooks for configuring hardware
|
|
and producing default and upgraded configuration stanzas.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These changes affect only those who have written custom drivers.</p>

<h3>RESTful APIs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some of the methods internal to RESTful services have changed,
|
|
specifically those that relate to getting configuration options
|
|
from <span class='code'>weewx.conf</span> and configuring databases.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This affects only those who have written custom RESTful services.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here is an example of obtaining the database dictionary for use in
|
|
the RESTful service thread.</p>
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr class="first_row">
|
|
<td style='width:50%'>2.7</td>
|
|
<td>3.0</td>
|

</tr>
|

<tr>
|
|
<td><pre class="tty">site_dict = weewx.restx.get_dict(config_dict, 'Uploader')
|

db_name = config_dict['StdArchive']['archive_database']
|

db_dict = config_dict['Databases'][db_name]

|
site_dict.setdefault('database_dict', db_dict)</pre>

|

manager_dict = weewx.manager.open_manager_with_config(
|
|
config_dict, 'wx_binding')</pre>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Database APIs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The methods for obtaining, opening, and querying databases have
|
|
changed. This affects only those who have written code that accesses
|
|
databases.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The class <span class="code">Manager</span> and its subclasses have
|
|
replaced the old <span class="code">Archive</span> class. The table
|
|
name is no longer hard-coded, so developers should use the table name
|
|
from the database binding. There is no longer a separate
|
|
<span class="code">StatsDb</span>
|
|
class, its functions having been subsumed into the
|
|
<span class="code">Manager</span>
|
|
class and its subclasses.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A new class <span class="code">DBBinder</span> is the preferred way of
|
|
getting a <span class="code">Manager</span> class, as it will
|
|
automatically take care of instantiating the right class, as well as
|
|
caching instances of <span class="code">Manager</span>. An instance of
|
|
<span class="code">DBBinder</span> is held by the engine as attribute
|
|
<span class="code">db_binder</span>. Here's an example of making a
|
|
simple query.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<table>
|

|
mgr.table_name, (start_ts, end_ts))</pre>

</tr>
|
|
</table>
|

<h3>Generator APIs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The base class for report generators has changed. The old class
|
|
<span class="code">CachedReportGenerator</span> no longer exists; its
|
|
functionality has been replaced by an instance of
|
|
<span class="code">DBBinder</span>,
|
|
held by the generator superclass. This affects only those who have
|
|
written customer generators.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here's an example:</p>
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr class="first_row">
|

<h3>Extension installer</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <span class='code'>setup.py</span> utility is now included in the

|
installation; it is no longer necessary to keep a copy of the

|
<span class='code'>weewx</span> source tree just for the
|
|
<span class='code'>setup.py</span> utility.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For .deb and .rpm installations, the command
|
|
<span class='code'>wee_setup</span> is a symlink to
|
|
<span class='code'>setup.py</span>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The options for installing extensions changed slightly to be more
|
|
consistent with the rest of the options to

<span class='code'>setup.py</span>.</p>

<h2>From V2.6 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 2.7 is backwards compatible with earlier versions with
|
|
one minor exception.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It now includes the ability to localize the weewx and server
|
|
uptimes. Previously, the labels <span class="code">days</span>,
|
|
<span class="code">hours</span>, and <span class="code">minutes</span>
|
|
were hardcoded in a Python utility. There was no way of changing
|
|
them. Now, like any other labels, they are taken from the skin
|
|
configuration file, <span class="code">skin.conf</span>, section
|
|
<span class="code">[[Labels]]</span>. Older configuration files had a
|
|
definition for <span class="code">hour</span>, but none for
|
|
<span class="code">day</span>, and <span class="code">minute</span>.
|
|
Also, the old definition for <span class="code">hour</span> used an
|
|
abbreviation <span class="code">hrs</span> instead of
|
|
<span class="code">hours</span>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you do nothing, your weewx and station uptimes will look
|
|
like:</p>
|
|
<pre class="tty">Weewx uptime: 1 day, 1 hrs, 41 minutes
|
|
Server uptime: 2 days, 10 hrs, 22 minutes</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note how the label for hours is abbreviated and always uses the
|
|
plural. If you want the previous behavior, or if you want to
|
|
localize the labels, you should update your skin configuration file.
|
|
Remove the old entries for <span class="code">hour</span> and
|
|
<span class="code">second</span> and replace them with:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="tty">day = " day", " days"
|
|
hour = " hour", " hours"
|
|
minute = " minute", " minutes"
|
|
second = " second", " seconds"</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first item is the singular spelling, the second the plural. This
|
|
will result in the desired</p>
|
|
<pre class="tty">Weewx uptime: 1 day, 1 hour, 41 minutes
|
|
Server uptime: 2 days, 10 hours, 22 minutes</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V2.5 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 2.6 is backwards compatible with earlier versions, with a couple
|
|
of small exceptions.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If you have written a custom <span class="code">weewx</span>
|
|
service, the install routine will try to insert its name into
|
|
an appropriate place in one of the five new lists of services
|
|
to be run. You should check
|
|
section <span class="code">[Engines][[WxEngine]]</span> to
|
|
make sure it made a reasonable guess.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>If you have written a custom RESTful service, the
|
|
architecture for these services has completely changed. They
|
|
are now first class services, and are treated like any other
|
|
<span class="code">weewx</span> service. There are some guides
|
|
to writing RESTful services using the new architecture at the
|
|
top of the file <span class='code'>bin/weewx/restx.py</span>.
|
|
I can also help you with the transition.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Option <span class='code'>interval</span> in the CWOP
|
|
configuration section has become option
|
|
<span class='code'>post_interval</span>. This change
|
|
should be done automatically by the install routine.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The mechanism for specifying RESTful services has changed.
|
|
To activate a RESTful service, put the driver in the
|
|
<span class="code">restful_services</span> list in
|
|
<span class="code">[Engines][[WxEngine]]</span>. The
|
|
<span class="code">driver</span> parameter is no longer
|
|
necessary in the RESTful service's configuration stanza.
|
|
These changes should be done automatically by the
|
|
install routine.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V2.3 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The option <span class="code">time_length</span> will now be the exact
|
|
length of the resultant plot. Before, a plot with
|
|
<span class="code">time_length</span> equal to 24 hours would result
|
|
in a plot of 27 hours, now it's 24 hours. If you want the old behavior,
|
|
set it equal to 27 hours. To do this, change your section

|
in <span class="code">skin.conf</span> from</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty">[[day_images]]
|
|
x_label_format = %H:%M
|
|
bottom_label_format = %m/%d/%y %H:%M
|
|
time_length = 86400 # == 24 hours</pre>

<span class="highlight">time_length = 97200 # == 27 hours</span></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The service <span class="code">StdTimeSync</span> now synchronizes the
|
|
console's onboard clock on startup. This is nice because if the clock
|
|
failed, perhaps because the battery was taken out, the time is
|
|
corrected first <em>before</em> data is downloaded from the logger's
|
|
memory. To take advantage of this, you can move service
|
|
<span class="code">StdTimeSync</span> to the front of the list of
|
|
services to be run. For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty">[[WxEngine]]
|
|
# The list of services the main weewx engine should run:
|
|
service_list = <span class="highlight">weewx.wxengine.StdTimeSynch</span>, weewx.wxengine.StdConvert,
|
|
weewx.wxengine.StdCalibrate, weewx.wxengine.StdQC, weewx.wxengine.StdArchive, weewx.wxengine.StdPrint,
|
|
weewx.wxengine.StdRESTful, weewx.wxengine.StdReport</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V2.2 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The signature of the function "<span class="code">loader</span>", used
|
|
to return an instance of the station device driver, has changed
|
|
slightly. It has changed from</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty">loader(config_dict)</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>to</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty">loader(config_dict, engine)</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>That is, a second parameter, <span class="code">engine</span>, has been
|
|
added. This is a reference to the
|
|
<span class="code">weewx</span> engine.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This change will affect only those who have written their own device
|
|
driver. </p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V2.1 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 2.2 introduces a schema, found in <span class="code">
|
|
bin/user/schemas.py</span>, for the stats database. This schema is used
|
|
only when initially creating the database. If you have a specialized
|
|
stats database, that is, one that saves types other than the default
|
|
that comes with <span class="code">weewx</span>, you should edit this
|
|
file to reflect your changes before attempting to rebuild the database.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V1.14 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 2.0 introduces many new features, including a revamped internal
|
|
engine. There are two changes that are not backwards compatible:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The configuration file, <span class="code">weewx.conf</span>. When
|
|
upgrading from V1.X, the setup utility will
|
|
install a new, fresh copy of <span class="code">weewx.conf</span>,
|
|
which you will then have to edit by hand. Thereafter, V2.X upgrades
|
|
should be automatic.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Custom services. If you have written a custom service, it will have
|
|
to be updated to use the new engine. The overall architecture is
|
|
very similar, except that functions must be <em>bound</em> to
|
|
events, rather than get called implicitly. See the sections
|
|
<a href="customizing.htm#Customizing_a_service">Customizing a Service</a> and <a href="customizing.htm#Adding_a_service">Adding a Service</a>
|
|
in the <a href="customizing.htm">Customizing Guide</a> for details
|
|
on how to do this.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>All skins should be completely backwards compatible, so you should not
|
|
have to change your templates or skin configuration file,
|
|
<span class="code">skin.conf</span>. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have written a custom report generator it should also be
|
|
backwards compatible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V1.13 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 1.14 introduces some new webpages that have been expressly
|
|
formatted for the smartphone by using
|
|
<a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The skins shipped with the distribution take advantage of these
|
|
features. If you do nothing, your old skins will continue to work, but
|
|
you will not be taking advantage of these new webpages.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want them, then you have two choices:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Rename your old skin directory (call it "<span class="code">skins.old</span>")
|
|
then do the install. This will install the new skin distribution. You can
|
|
then modify it to reflect any changes you have made, referring to <span class="code">
|
|
skins.old</span> for guidance. If you have not changed many things, this
|
|
approach will be the easiest.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Alternatively, change the contents of your existing skin directory to
|
|
include the new webpages. If you take this approach, you will need to copy
|
|
over the contents of the subdirectory <span class="code">
|
|
skins/Standard/smartphone</span> from the distribution into your <span class="code">skins/Standard</span>
|
|
directory. You will then need to modify your <span class="code">skin.conf</span>.
|
|
<p>After the section that looks like</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class='tty'>[[[Mobile]]]
|
|
template = mobile.html.tmpl</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>add the following directives:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class='tty'>[[[MobileSmartphone]]]
|
|
template = smartphone/index.html.tmpl
|
|
[[[MobileTempOutside]]]
|
|
template = smartphone/temp_outside.html.tmpl
|
|
[[[MobileRain]]]
|
|
template = smartphone/rain.html.tmpl
|
|
[[[MobileBarometer]]]
|
|
template = smartphone/barometer.html.tmpl
|
|
[[[MobileWind]]]
|
|
template = smartphone/wind.html.tmpl
|
|
[[[MobileRadar]]]
|
|
template = smartphone/radar.html.tmpl</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Then modify section <span class="code">[CopyGenerator]</span>
|
|
to add the <span class="highlight">highlighted</span> files:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class='tty'>[CopyGenerator]
|
|
#
|
|
# This section is used by the generator CopyGenerator
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# List of files that are to be copied at the first invocation of the generator only
|
|
copy_once = backgrounds/*, weewx.css, mobile.css, favicon.ico, <span class="highlight">smartphone/icons/*, smartphone/custom.js</span></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Whichever approach you chose, the generated files will appear in
|
|
<span class="code">public_html/smartphone</span>. The start of the document root
|
|
will be at <span class="code">public_html/smartphone/index.html</span>. You may want
|
|
to add a link to this in the template for your main index page
|
|
<span class="code">skins/Standard/index.html.tmpl</span>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V1.12 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 1.13 changed the way binding happens to the databases used in reports
|
|
so that it happens much later. The upshot is that the signature of a few
|
|
functions changed. Most you are unlikely to encounter. The exception is if you
|
|
have written custom template <em>search lists</em>, as described in the
|
|
<a href="customizing.htm">Customizing weewx guide</a>. This section has been
|
|
updated to reflect the new function signatures. As a side effect, the
|
|
illustrated example actually has become much simpler!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>No changes to skins.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V1.9 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 1.10 introduced several new features. </p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>New almanac features, icon, and mobile template</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 1.10 introduces some extra almanac features, such as the azimuth and
|
|
elevation of the sun and moon, or when the next solstice will be. It also
|
|
includes a template formatted for smartphones, as well as an icon ("<span class="code">favicon.ico</span>")
|
|
that displays in your browser toolbar. The skins shipped with the distribution
|
|
take advantage of these features. If you do nothing, your old skins will
|
|
continue to work, but you will not take advantage of these new features. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want these new features then you have two choices:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Rename your old skin directory (call it "<span class="code">skin.old</span>")
|
|
then do the install. This will install the new skin distribution. You can
|
|
modify it to reflect any changes you have made, referring to <span class="code">
|
|
skin.old</span> for guidance.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Alternatively, change the contents of your existing skin directory to take
|
|
advantage of the new features. If you take this approach, you will need to
|
|
copy over files <span class="code">favicon.ico, mobile.css</span>, and
|
|
<span class="code">mobile.html.tmpl</span> from the distribution into your <span
|
|
class="code">skin/Standard</span>
|
|
directory. Modify <span class="code">skins/Standard/index.html.tmpl</span>
|
|
to take advantage of the new almanac features, using the version shipped
|
|
with the distribution for guidance. You will then need to modify your <span class="code">skin.conf</span>.
|
|
<p>Add a new <span class="code">[[[Mobile]]]</span> section:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty">[FileGenerator]
|
|
...
|
|
[[ToDate]]
|
|
...
|
|
[[[Mobile]]]
|
|
template = mobile.html.tmpl</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Then add <span class="code">mobile.css</span> and <span class="code">
|
|
favicon.ico</span> to the list of files to be copied on report generation:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty">[CopyGenerator]
|
|
copy_once = backgrounds/*, weewx.css, mobile.css, favicon.ico</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Which approach you should take will depend on how extensively you have
|
|
modified the stock skin distribution. If the modifications are slight,
|
|
approach #1 will be easier, otherwise use approach #2.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Backwards compatibility</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>With the introduction of explicit control of output units in the
|
|
templates such as</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty">$day.outTemp.max.degree_C</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>the calling signature of the following two Python classes was changed</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><span class="code">weewx.stats.TaggedStats</span></li>
|
|
<li><span class="code">weewx.stats.TimeSpanStats</span></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The example of writing a custom generator <span class="code">MyFileGenerator</span>
|
|
(which produced "all time" statistics) has been changed to reflect the new
|
|
signatures.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This will only affect you if you have written a custom generator.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V1.7.0 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>With the introduction of a standard archiving service, <span class="code">
|
|
StdArchive</span>, the names of some events have changed. This will not affect
|
|
you unless you have written a custom service.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V.1.5.0 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>V1.7 introduces <em>skins</em>. The skins live in subdirectory
|
|
<span class="code">skins</span>. They are <em>not</em> compatible with the old
|
|
<span class="code">template</span> subdirectory --- you can't simply rename
|
|
<span class="code">templates</span> to <span class="code">skins</span>. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The part of the configuration file dealing with the presentation layer has
|
|
been split off into a separate file <span class="code">skin.conf</span>. Hence,
|
|
once again, the installation script
|
|
<span class="code">setup.py</span> will NOT merge your old <span class="code">
|
|
weewx.conf</span> configuration file
|
|
into the new one. You will have to re-edit <span class="code">weewx.conf</span>
|
|
to put in your customizations. You may also have to edit <span class="code">
|
|
skin.conf</span> for whatever skin you choose (right now, only one skin, <em>Standard</em>,
|
|
comes with the distribution).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>However, a reinstall of V1.7 <em>will</em> merge your changes for
|
|
<span class="code">weewx.conf</span>. It will also merge any changes you have made to <span class="code">skin.conf</span>
|
|
as well.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Please check the following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Option "<span class="code">altitude</span>" in section
|
|
<span class="code">[Station]</span> now takes a unit. Hence, it
|
|
should look something like:
|
|
<pre class='tty'>altitude = 120, meter</pre>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>In a similar manner, options <span class="code">heating_base</span>
|
|
and <span class="code">cooling_base</span> in
|
|
<span class="code">skin.conf</span>
|
|
also take units:
|
|
<pre class='tty'>heating_base = 65, degree_F
|
|
cooling_base = 65, degree_F</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The directory '<span class="code">templates</span>' is no
|
|
longer used; it has been replaced with directory
|
|
'<span class="code">skins</span>'. You
|
|
may delete it if you wish:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">rm -r templates</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V1.4.0 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Because the configuration file <span class="code">weewx.conf</span>
|
|
changed significantly going from V1.4 to V1.5, the installation script
|
|
<span class="code">setup.py</span> will NOT merge your old
|
|
configuration file into the new one. You will have to re-edit
|
|
<span class="code">weewx.conf</span>
|
|
to put in your customizations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>From V1.2.0 or earlier</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Option <span class="code">clock_check</span>, previously found in the
|
|
<span class="code">[VantagePro]</span>
|
|
section, is now found in the
|
|
<span class="code">[Station]</span> section. The install program will
|
|
put a default value in the new place, but it will not delete nor move
|
|
your old value over. If you have changed this value or if you
|
|
cannot stand the thought of
|
|
<span class="code">clock_check</span> appearing in two different
|
|
places, you should delete the old one found under
|
|
<span class="code">[VantagePro]</span> and
|
|
make sure the new value, found under
|
|
<span class="code">[Station]</span> is
|
|
correct.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Two Python files are no longer used, so they may be deleted from your
|
|
installation if you wish:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">rm bin/weewx/processdata.py
|
|
rm bin/weewx/mainloop.py</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition, file <span class="code">readme.htm</span> has been moved to
|
|
subdirectory <span class='code'>docs</span>, so the old one
|
|
can be deleted:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="tty cmd">rm readme.htm</pre>
