Tom,

I might be missing something here but pip install is still giving me 5.3.

Hmmm, I just tried it and pip installed V5.4.0. The WeeWX page on pypi.org also shows 5.4.0.

I see that your Divum WX and Seasons pages are showing 5.3.1. The CSS files for Seasons are also messed up. Perhaps a deployment issue?

Thanks Tom,

I have not attempted my public facing server yet. It was my local testing server which I was attempting to update. I will give another try this evening. Yes CSS on Seasons needs fixing.
