Hi all, I'm glad that version 4.0 supports python 3.x, although it is currently installed under python 2.7. The current pyephem broke the extended almanac, and I've held back that python 2.7 package. However, I'm planning to transition to python 3.8, with python 2.7 as fallback.
I'm having an issue with the annual "High Wind" speed value. Although the direction and time are there, the speed is the max speed for the current month (less than the earlier max wind speed event). FYI: I've got weewx installed under FreeBSD 12.1. On Thursday, April 30, 2020 at 12:09:47 PM UTC-5, Tom Keffer wrote: > > After months of waiting, Version 4 has finally arrived!
