Hi Greg, When 4.3.0 is released shortly you will find the [StdWXCalculate] stanza in weewx.conf has been restructured and the previously undocumented settings documented. ignore_zero_wind has been deprecated and replaced by a new structure and config option force_null. ignore_zero_wind will continue to be supported for now though.
The upgrade process to 4.3.0 should take care of things, but if you are an ‘ignore_zero_wind user’ I would strongly suggest reading the upgrade guide closely this time around.
