V5.0.0 available

[Tom Keffer]

A year in the making, V5 is finally available! Some minor new features, but most of the work has been to keep up with the changing world of Python --- lots of things have become obsolete (distutils), while others have just changed. 

A few changes to highlight:

• WeeWX can now be installed using pip. The old setup.py method is gone.
• Support for the latest versions of Python.
• Improved documentation.
• The utilities have been pulled together under one master utility, weectl, making it easier to find the functionality you need.
• Management of multiple stations is easier and more modular.

Complete change list.

Quickstart install and upgrade instructions. 

Be sure to read the Upgrade Guide.

- Tom, Matt, and Gary.

Tom -

I want to take a moment and write a quick note to congratulate you and everyone on the weewx team in reaching this milestone. Weewx is a great package and thank you for all you and the others do!

Joel

Hello,

small discovery from my side using Rocky Linux 8, RPM installation and selinux policy. Upgrade itself was smooth but I realized then I cannot see status of service or stop/start it.

[root@rocky-weather-machine system]# systemctl status weewx
Failed to get properties: Access denied

[root@rocky-weather-machine procedures]# getenforce
Enforcing

I applied following to give it more proper context and all is OK now.

cd /usr/lib/systemd/system/
ls -al weewx*
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root unconfined_u:object_r:systemd_unit_file_t:s0            366 28. led 13.22 weewx.service
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root unconfined_u:object_r:systemd_unit_file_t:s0            874 28. led 13.22 weewx@.service

chcon --reference timedatex.service weewx*
systemctl daemon-reexec

ls -al weewx*

-rw-r--r--.  1 root root system_u:object_r:systemd_unit_file_t:s0                366 28. led 13.22 weewx.service

On vagrant rocky9 with Enforcing enabled 5.0.0-1.el9 has no problems on a clean installation of os and weewx, so my 'guess' is the selinux policies might be a little different in the later os.

I 'did' need to install epel-release on rocky9 so the python prerequisites were installed.
