So, for me to understand: the version in the config file only specifies the latest version a weectl station upgrade --what config was made and it is only needed, when the config is upgraded, to define an upgrade path for the config itself? like the version number in the skins, the version number in the config indicates when that config was installed or upgraded. even then, it is only a hint, since it is quite possible that you might have made changes since the install/upgrade. in the past 10 years of weewx, i think there have been only one or two times where we made changes to weewx that broke an existing configuration file, thus *requiring* a config change. there have been many additional features, but those have sane defaults. similarly, there have been only one or two cases where a change in weewx broken existing skins, and those were non-fatal breaks. we try *really* hard to maintain backward compatibility! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
