Nothing major.

----

Added the ability for services to bind to a SHUTDOWN event. This allows services to be notified when weewxd is being shutdown. PR #1106. Thanks to user Rich Bell!

Added retry logic in case the database is locked. See weewx-user thread https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/9AIS1DRHl00.

Pass a terminate event flag to the thread running StdReport. Generators look to
this flag and finish immediately if it is set.

Fix problem where [StdReport] does not include HTML_ROOT. Fixes Issue #1082.

Install extensions atomically, never overwrite in place. PR #1104. Thanks to user John K!

Substitute station_type if the hardware driver does not offer hardware_name.

Mr Keffer 

I have used WeeWx to add new SQLlite fields for Black Globe  Temperature (BGT) and Wet Black Globe Temperature (WBGT) measurements. I have also modified repositories from others to allow me to collect these values with Ecowitt HW and Weather  Stations (WS3900) and report all this as a comment add on for APRS weather data. 

I have no idea if this is of interest to you but with more added heat stress these values are of significant interest to teh Military, Fire Deparments , Athletic venues and so on. So if this is a waste of electrons so be it but I thought this may be of interest. I hope that somehow we can add BGT and WNGT to the APRS weather parsing standars.
