auto_rx v1.5.3 released - Historical View and Skew-T plots!

[Mark Jessop]

Hi all,

This release brings the much-requested ability to display historical log files! A huge thanks to @LukePrior for their work bringing us this new feature.

Release Notes are available here: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/releases/tag/v1.5.3

The new 'historical view', available from the top-right of the main auto_rx web interface provides the following functions:
* Plot the flight paths of selected radiosonde flights.
* Plot the landing locations of all received radiosonde flights.
* Generate a Skew-T plot for a selected radiosonde flight (if temperature/humidity data is available).
* Download selected logs as a Zip file.

You can find a guide to the new web interface on the auto_rx wiki here: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/wiki/Web-Interface-Guide

Skew-T plots are also available on the sondehub.org/card/<serial> page used to display historical data from the SondeHub database. We hope to add Skew-T plots to the SondeHub tracker sometime in the near future.

**Note: If you are using a 'native' install of auto_rx, you will need to install the 'semver' Python package by running: `sudo pip3 install semver`**

The pre-built Docker Image (https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/wiki/Docker) is now the recommended way to setup radiosonde_auto_rx on a new station. Using Docker avoids issues with updates to dependencies, like is occurring in this release.

**IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTES:**
* Once again, if you haven't updated to Python >3.6 - **now is the time** (auto_rx will no longer work on Python 2.7 or 3.5.). If your station is running on Python 2, please either do a fresh install (ideally with the latest version of Raspbian), or follow the Python 2 -> 3 upgrade guide here: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/wiki/Performing-Updates#upgrading-a-station-from-python-2-to-python-3

If you are upgrading from an old release and are encountering issues with the web interface, please refer to the release notes for v1.5.1 for information on the Python package updates required: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/releases/tag/v1.5.1

Please report any problems encountered either on the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/radiosonde_auto_rx), or by [raising an issue](https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/issues) on this repository.

**PLEASE DO NOT USE THE GITHUB GENERATED RELEASE ZIP FILES - USE THE INSTALLATION/UPDATE STEPS ( https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/wiki/Performing-Updates ) DESCRIBED IN THE WIKI**

Good work Mark!

As you know I’ve  been looking forward to this update! When viewing a skew-t plot, it would be great to be able to view/export it as a jpg or png. Could this be possible?

Best regards,

Simon

... possibly? I'm not that experienced with d3, so I'm not sure how difficult that is.

For now, Print-Screen is your friend.

I've been testing/developing on Chrome here (OSX) and it was working. 

I will admit I haven't been testing on small screens (or mobile devices), so there may be issues there.
