>From the upgrade guide: - A "delta time" is the difference between two times, for example the amount of uptime (difference between start and current time), or the amount of daylight (difference between sunrise and sunset). >From poking around a git clone:
- deltatime seems to have been first defined in 2.7.0 (Oct-2014) and used then in station.py and later in almanac.py - elapsed seems to have been first defined in 2.1.0 (Jan-2013) but I can't find it ever being used or documented It might be a backward compatibility thing that never got cleaned up. Perhaps the name 'elapsed' was changed to 'deltatime' to be more accurate and the old name never got deleted (????)
