WeatherCat V4 – Early development release now available for testing

Hello folks,

An early development release of WeatherCat V4 is now available for testing. For more information please see: https://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=3671.0 (please note that you’ll need to be registered and logged in on the forums to see the development forum).

This is an early development release and as such we do not recommend running it unless you have previous experience with WeatherCat testing – please see the forum post for more details.

In other news, some of you may know that due to the UK’s online safety act, we had to make the forums read only in March last year. The good news is we now believe we are compliant and as such the forums are now fully open again. See https://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=3670.0 for details.

Finally, there’s a short blog post with thoughts on Ecowitt stations, which you may find interesting/entertaining – you can read it at https://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=3673.0

WeatherCat Version 3.3.3 Now Available

We are pleased to announce the release of WeatherCat 3.3.3.

Changes since V3.3.1 as follows:
   1.   Fixed a crash that could occur on startup.
   2.   We now differentiate the cause of a watchdog in the logged message – either it’s restarting to try to recover the station comms or its restarting because it has detected a hung thread.
   3.   Remove the webcam text from the Wunderground preferences.
   4.   Added monthly and yearly rain channels for WeatherLink Live.
   5.   Fixed a crash that could occur when setting up a network connection.
   6.   Changed auto update endpoint (Note: there will be no auto-update notification for this release).
   7.   User Manual updated (available from the ‘Help’ menu within WeatherCat).
   8.   WeatherCat Client updated to display internal humidity and temperature in dock icon. 

WeatherCat Version 3.3.3 is available for immediate download.  (Please note there is no auto-update notification for this release.)

An updated client is also available as per point 8 in the release changes above – you can download it here.

As an additional note, the FAQ has been updated, in particular a video has been added showing the installation of the Silicon Labs driver on later operating systems. In addition the FAQ and releases notes sections in the manual have been replaced with relevant links to the wiki.

Also please note that some people use trixology-eng.com to test client connections. trixology-eng.com is being replaced, please use eng.trixology.com going forward.
