Is 5.0 beta hiding somewhere?

[DR]

I had thought I had installed 5.0 a few weeks ago, and was running in
test mode on a newly formatted SD card on a Rasp Pi 4.


When I looked at the display page down at the bottom in About This
Weather Station it said version 4.10.x

I reinstalled the SD card and  updated the Rasp OS, and then went to

https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/debian/

and used cut and paste to insert the line by line commands into the
RaspOS Terminal window.


Not a problem, and it came up and was running but when I checked the
About section, the version remained 4.10.x


I went to the Wiki and got the same link to the page I used to install. 
I looked for Version 5.0 and beta and got either a 404 page not found
with another Google hit, and off Github, I got again the same install
listings.


I'm wondering if Version 5.0 beta has been linked to in a different area.


I would like to try it, even in beta state, and can format my Pi SD card
easily, so as to not leave any tracks to old versions on the card.


Does this ring a bell to the developers or should I capture the log
(which I think only reflects the start up of WeeWx when it does) or is
there another helpful log file which I might look to in order to see why
4.10 keeps being chosen to install rather than 5?

Thanks  Dale

Stuff hasn't moved around.

• Docs are at https://www.weewx.com/docs.html
  
• Downloads are at http://weewx.com/downloads/
  
• Development versions under http://weewx.com/downloads/development_versions/

If you follow the quickstart you mentioned, you'll get the latest v4 because the repo tracks released versions.

You could manually download the old .deb beta from the link above and install that if you want.  Or use pip and try that which would get you to a beta about two weeks old.

Thank  you for the guidance.  I don't understand how github does things so your explanation makes perfect sense now.  Thx again.  Dale
