Version 4.3.0 released

[Tom Keffer]

This release fixes a bug in V4.2 that caused average values to be calculated incorrectly if the archive interval changes.

4.3.0 01/04/2020

Version 4.2.0 had a bug, which caused the sums in the daily summary to be
incorrectly calculated. This version includes a patch to fix the problem. It
runs once at startup. Fixes issue #623.

The WMR200 driver is no longer supported. An unsupported version can be found
at https://github.com/weewx/weewx-wmr200. Support for LaCrosse WS23xx and
Oregon WMR300 will continue.

Service weewx.wxxtypes.StdDelta was inadvertently left out of the list of
services to be run. Fortunately, it is not used. Yet. Added it back in.

Added the "old" NWS algorithm as an option for calculating heat index.

Changed how various undocumented parameters in [StdWXCalculate] are specified.
The only one people are likely to have used is 'ignore_zero_wind'. Its name has
changed to 'force_null', and it has been moved. See the Upgrading Guide.

Documented the various [StdWXCalculate] options.

Fixed corner case for windDir when using software record generation,
ignore_zero_wind=True, and windSpeed=0 for entire record interval. Now emits
last windDir value.

Fixed problem when looking up stars with more than one word in their name.
Fixes issue #620.

Fixed problem where wind gust direction is not available when using software
record generation.

Added --no-prompt action to wee_import allowing wee_import to be run unattended.

Fixed problem that prevented option `observations` from being used in the
simulator. Thanks to user Graham!

Fixed problem where wind chill was calculated incorrectly for METRICWX
databases. PR #627. Thanks to user edi-x!

Allow wind vectors to be converted to unit of beaufort. Fixes issue #629.

Option log_failure under [StdReport] is set to True by the upgrade process.
See the Upgrading Guide.

Tom - here's some autopatch timings from my wimpy 128MB RAM Seagate Dockstar which has a slow USB laptop drive.

 - weewx.sdb took 17:14 minutes to update

 - purpleair.sdb took 2:30

 - I didn't see my other three little db update at all in the logs (not that I care really for those)

Total start to backfill begin was about 20.5 minutes

My pi3 with SD card was 90 seconds to patch up.

[Ryan Stasel]

I assume this was supposed to happen during the upgrade, but I'm not seeing any logs saying how long it took. I updated via apt-get on my Pi4. sorry I can't add to the dataset. =/

You should see something like the following in the log:

   Jan  4 15:55:34 ella weewx[30235] INFO weewx.manager: Daily summaries at V2.0. Patching to V3.0

   Jan  4 15:55:34 ella weewx[30235] INFO weewx.manager: recalculate_weights: Using database 'weewx.sdb'

   Jan  4 15:55:49 ella weewx[30235] INFO weewx.manager: Patch finished.

Thanks! 

I had to restart weewx (/etc/init.d/weewx restart) to trigger seems like. 

On my pi4 8gb, it took... what, like 111 seconds? Looks good!

The backfill of dailys took longer at another 5 minutes or so

But I could be misreading that.

Yes, you have to restart to run the new version.

I think you are misreading that.  You had no backfill.  The daily summary being written seems to be for the current archive period.

Right. Except it does normal daily entries every minute. So there was a 5ish minute gap between those log entries.

My update seemed possibly a bit odd? My WeeWX database is stored in MySQL. However, the data from the purpleair extension is stored in an 'sdb' file.

Here's my log output upon upgrading. My question is: Did my MySQL entries get upgraded from V2.0 to 3.0? It mentions purpleair.sdb - but not anything about weewx itself, sdb or no.
