the intent is that a user should *never* have to run 'weectl station upgrade' as long as weewx remains backward-compatible, the only time you should have to upgrade your configuration is (1) when a non-backward-compatible change is introduced (signaled by a major version number change), (2) when a new feature is introduced that requires some non-default configuration (e.g., if you want to update a skin), or (3) if you want your config to contain the latest syntax/naming/conventions with no older patterns that require backward-compatibliity from the weewx codebase. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
