Is WeeWx 5.0 released yet?

[Richard Perry]

Ok, folks - setting up a new Raspberry Pi with weewx on it - long story involving a powersurge.

Anyway, I can get it up and running, but I think I'm still using the older 4.10 version of Weewx rather than the 5.0 version.

Is 5.0 released yet? I'm seeing documentation here: https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/ ...but I'm not getting that version through the downloads or package versions. dpkg -s is consistant after an apt-get update etc, Shows - 

perry@wxpi:~ $ sudo dpkg -s weewx

I'm ok with using 4.10.2 (as I said, it DOES report correctly), just wanted to see if there was a 5.0 available - might as well set it up once. Only thing I'm thinking I'm constrained by is my hardware - it's a older RPi3 from 2018 (it's what I had on the bench.) Do I have to upgrade that? (doesn't actually look it it from the software/web stuff I'm seeing, but you never know.)

Thanks in advance -

Nope. In beta. A pi3 is fine.

Use the new 10-10-2023 32bit raspios if you are flashing a new os to at least get your os current.

Ok, thanks! Look forward to the release eventually.

Incidentally, is there a contribution/patreon somewhere? I've been using this thing for years, and can't contribute to the codebase...although I am a tech writer (I write aviation manuals for a living). How can I help?

Thanks for your kind offer, Richard. There's no WeeWX donation box. However, any donation to The Western Flyer Foundation, my other passion, would be appreciated.
