Change log:

Added ability to label left, right or both y-axes of graphs.  PR#610.
Fixes issue #609.

Fixed problem where threads attempt to access non-existent database. Fixes
issue #579.

Fixed problem that could cause the station registry to fail if given a location
with a non-ASCII location name.

to user Eric!

Fixed problem caused by specifying a [Logging]/[[formatters]] section in
weewx.conf that uses interpolated variables.

The install asked if I wanted to add the maintainers version of the weewx.conf. I chose No.

Is there anything extra in the weewx.conf that I should add to my weewx.conf?

Thanks

Double check that the upgrade process did its job. You should see a new service group "xtype_services" under [Engine] in weewx.conf

[Engine]

    # The following section specifies which services should be run and in what order.
    [[Services]]
        xtype_services = weewx.wxxtypes.StdWXXTypes, weewx.wxxtypes.StdPressureCooker, weewx.wxxtypes.StdRainRater
        prep_services = weewx.engine.StdTimeSynch
        data_services = ,
        process_services = weewx.engine.StdConvert, weewx.engine.StdCalibrate, weewx.engine.StdQC, weewx.wxservices.StdWXCalculate
        archive_services = weewx.engine.StdArchive
        restful_services = weewx.restx.StdStationRegistry, weewx.restx.StdWunderground, weewx.restx.StdPWSweather, weewx.restx.StdCWOP, weewx.restx.StdWOW, weewx.restx.StdAWEKAS
        report_services = weewx.engine.StdPrint, weewx.engine.StdReport

I already had the part you have highlighted so I should be OK.

It seems to be running fine so far. Everything seems to be working.

I am running on proxmox and did a snapshot before making the upgrade so it is easy to revert if I have to (which I don't think I will)

Thanks
