<h1 class="title">Upgrading to <span class="code">weewx</span> v1.7</h1>
|
|
<h1>Version specific directions</h1>
|
|
<p>What follows are directions for upgrading from specific versions.</p>
|
|
<h2>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> 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>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>
|
|
<p class="tty">rm -r <em>$WEEWX_ROOT</em>/templates</p>
|
|
<h2>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>V1.2.0 or earlier</h2>
|
|
<h3>Optional</h3>
|
|
<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 can't 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>
|
|
<p class="tty"><em>rm $WEEWX_ROOT</em>/bin/weewx/processdata.py<br />
|
|
<em>rm $WEEWX_ROOT</em>/bin/weewx/mainloop.py</p>
|
|
<p>In addition, file <span class="code">readme.htm</span> has been moved to
|
|
subdirectory <span class="code"><em>$WEEWX_ROOT</em>/docs</span>, so the old one
|
|
can be deleted:</p>
|
|
<p class="tty">rm <em>$WEEWX_ROOT</em>/readme.htm</p>
|
|
<p> </p>
