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 I missed, but thought I would bring it up.
I decided while I was playing around with version 5, I would start with a clean install and only migrate over the database. This cleaned up a bunch of old/confusing parts from my config file going back to my original 3.6 install in 2016. Keep up the great work on WeeWX.
