many plaudits to tom, matt and gary for V5, navigating the shifting decks
of python and linux while preserving the long stability of weewx for
another milestone release.
the software engineers amongst us understand and appreciate the difficulty,
attention to detail and sheer volume of work -
All good here . . . upgrade to 5.0.0 went fine. THANK YOU, GUYS!

More or less. Think of the version number in weewx.conf as specifying the
version of the config file (just like the Seasons skin is now versioned).
If the weewx.conf version is 4.9.0 that config file includes all (config)

There was a bug in rc3 that resulted in the config file not being upgraded
despite a user issuing the command weectl station upgrade --what config.
This may explain why 5.0.0b15 remained when you upgraded to rc3. When you
did your 'pip upgrade' did you just do:
# Activate the WeeWX virtual
Actually, it was b13 which I had installed before, I don't remember to ever
have installed b15.

Congrats on the release. Since I just finished installing 5.0RC3. I did
the upgrade to 5.0 this morning using the pip install method. Everything
went smoothly. The upgrade station did not change the version number in
the config file, but that is a very minor fix. Probably some simple step
