RELEASE VERSION HISTORY (newest to oldest)
------------------------------------------
5.19.0 05-22-2011
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.11.2 or newer
1) Added "-f" argument to all processes so they can be run in the foreground
(i.e., not as daemons). This will facilitate tracing and debugging wview
processes from the command line.
2) Added "start-trace" command to the wview start script examples that don't
use some distro-specific magic to start/stop processes so all processes can
be started with strace and run in the foreground. Added section in the User
Manual to describe the use of strace and the "-f" argument for debugging.
3) Added an rsyslog config file to the debian APT installation such that wview
logs are placed in the file /var/log/wview.log. Also added "99-wview.conf"
to the examples/rsyslog directory and instructions for use in the source
build section of the User Manual.
4) Added alarm type definitions to the Alarm Type mouse over tool tip so they
can be viewed directly from the wviewmgmt configuration page.
5) Added release of SIGABRT signal for all process initializations. This allows
a clean abort for the operating system.
6) Update WH1080 station interface to better handle potential extraneous data
on the USB bus.
7) Moved all calculated values (wind chill, heat index, dew point) to the
generic station code so they are not computed until after calibrations.
8) Added new configuration parameter to control if station interface details
(such as host/port or serial device) are displayed with the station type
when the tag "!--stationType--" is expanded. The default is "yes". Can be
configured on the File Generation page of wviewmgmt.
5.18.6 04-01-2011
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.11.0 or newer
1) Added more valid magic numbers for WH1080 stations.
5.18.5 03-31-2011
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.11.0 or newer
1) Fixed NOAA yearly reports missing rain on day that DST starts.
2) Added read thread to WMRUSB using new radthread facility.
3) Added email alert when VP archive record has to be retried.
5.18.4 03-26-2011
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.10.3 or newer
1) Added better WH1080 sensor decode.
2) Added console reset logic for WMRUSB stations when sensor data stops being
sent.
5.18.3 03-20-2011
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.10.3 or newer
1) Fixed TE923 rain decode logic.
2) Changed WMRUSB device open paradigm to harden the interface for marginal
USB environments.
5.18.2 03-15-2011
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.10.3 or newer
1) Fixed WMRUSB UV value decode logic.
2) Fixed hidapi compile error for OSX.
5.18.1 03-14-2011
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.10.3 or newer
1) Fixed the hidapi utility to work on armel and powerpc platforms.
5.18.0 03-13-2011
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.10.1 or newer
1) Added wind rose graphic initially contributed by J. Fiddler and G. Eddy.
Integrated with html generation. Added to default templates.
2) Added rsync option "-L" (--copy-links) to command used for ssh file
transfers.
3) Added the ability to test alarm scripts by enabling the test and alarm
number via wviewmgmt on the Alarms configuration page.
4) Added a configuration parameter to the Station page to allow
enable/disable of DTR toggling for certain station interfaces. Currently
only the TWI and Vaisala stations use DTR toggling.
5) Fixed issue with datafeed packets and negative values based on research
done by P. Sanchez.
6) Fixed computation of rain/ET cumulative values when preset values are
provided.
7) Added new wind speed composite graph contributed by G. Eddy. Added to all
Day, Week and Month templates.
8) Added workaround for TWI single digit negative temperature reporting bug
contributed by pannetron.
9) Fixed issue causing stations without ET having the rain dials always
render at the highest resolution (contributed by P. Sanchez).
10) Fixed all templates' "images-metric.conf" file so the decimal places
field for the barometer bucket is "1" instead of "2". "2" was causing
truncation of the labels.
11) Changed Virtual station connection recovery behavior to never stop trying
to reconnect with the remote station when the connection is lost.
12) Added support for the Weatherlink IP datalogger. Updated the station
configuration page of wviewmgmt to support Weatherlink IP and more
coherent display of optional config items based on station type. Cleaned
up some miscellaneous commands.
13) Added support for the WMRUSB station based on M. Maehre contribution. This
includes the WMR88, WMR100, WMR100N, WMR200 and WMRS200 stations.
Added a compatibility layer so libusb-1.0 is used. Added wviewmgmt and
wviewconfig support. Added new medium abstraction support for USB.
14) Added a quick start guide for FreeBSD "wview-Quick-Start-FreeBSD.html".
15) Added a separate medium abstraction for the USB hidapi. This allows support
for USB devices in Mac OSX and can be used for linux and FreeBSD as well.
MEDIUM_USBHID should be used for USB stations whenever possible so the
station is accessible for all supported operating systems.
16) Added support for the Fine Offset WH1080 station and all of its variants.
These include: Fine Offset: WH1080, WH1081; Watson: W8681, WX2008;
National Geographic: 265 NE; Elecsa: 6975, 6976; Ambient Weather: WS-1080,
WS-1090, WS-2080; Tycon: TP1080WC; Jaycar XC0348. Used the new USBHID
medium for the interface so it will work on Mac OSX systems.
17) Fixed a bug in the "wvutilsConvertMPSToMPH" utility.
18) Fixed a race condition in the process monitor daemon causing possible
start up hangs.
19) Added support for the Oregon Scientific WMR88A (not the same protocol as the
WMR88/WMR100). Uses the USB HID medium. Added wviewmgmt and wviewconfig
support.
20) Added support for the Honeywell TE923W station and all of its variants.
These include: TE923, TE821W, WXR810, DV928 (manufacturers include Hideki,
Nexus, Mebus, Irox, Honeywell, Cresta). Uses the USB HID interface so it is
supported for Mac OSX systems.
21) Added generic extra sensor support to various stations and the html generator.
See the file "parameterlist.txt" or the generated file "parameterlist.htm"
for details. This changed the LOOP packet structure thus requiring an update
to both remote and local wview servers for users of the "virtual" station type.
22) Removed use of the "HOST_IS_BIGENDIAN" macro and replaced with "WORDS_BIGENDIAN"
to support OSX universal binaries (thanks B. Northcott).
5.17.3 05-16-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.10.1 or newer
1) Changed packet receive timeout action from error to warning. Increased
wviewd packet response timeout from 30 to 60 seconds.
2) Updated User Manual source so it is easier to print. Contributed by
D. Merritt.
5.17.2 04-18-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Fixed "stormStart" display.
2) Increased wviewd packet response timeout from 10 to 30 seconds.
5.17.1 04-06-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Increased wviewd response timeout from 2 to 10 seconds.
5.17.0 04-04-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Added more verbose logging of WMR918 sensor initialization. Fixed timeout
value for select call while waiting for first data packets.
2) Added htmlgend timer to limit the wait time for wviewd data packets once
requested. If packets are not received the timeout will produce log output
to indicate a problem.
3) Add back in the display of time for storm start.
4) Added user contributed PHP code to do path and file sanity check for certain
configuration items in wviewmgmt screens. Will indicate problems in red.
5) Added "From" email address configuration and use for email alerts.
5.16.0 03-28-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Added contributed java script code to wviewmgmt so the focus defaults to the
login page's password entry.
2) Added contributed moon rise and set utilites and html tags. If you are
upgrading and you want to add them to your Almanac page, you will have to
do so manually.
3) Enhanced alarms datafeed archive sync so new archive records will not be
sent if archive sync is in progress.
4) Changed storm start display to use the date format specified during
configuration.
5.15.0 03-21-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Added daily rain (since midnight) to the wunderground and weatherforyou
data submissions.
2) Added station time sync after DST change so stations like the Vantage Pro
which time stamp archive records will heve the new DST time update in a
*timely* manner.
3) Added a 2 minute timeout argument to rsync for ssh file transfers.
5.14.3 03-02-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Modified NOAA update to use a 30 second offset from midnight to avoid
DB resource conflicts at midnight. Simplified update logic and fixed
bug introduced in 5.14.2 for NOAA causing alternating update and no
update at midnight.
5.14.2 02-25-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Remove legacy FTP interval definition per rule and replace with one global
interval value to allow control of the frequency of possible FTP transfers.
Files are still only transmitted if new. Added more verbose logs describing
per file status/action.
2) Modified NOAA database update logic based on time stamps.
3) Fixed bug in process monitor preventing restart of the station daemon if the
wview-binary file included CR or LF.
5.14.1 02-21-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Enhance serial read retry logic for the WS-2300 so the station daemon will
try harder when serial errors occur.
5.14.0 02-19-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Add user-contributed WS-2300 sensor data validation via multiple sample
collection. Three "similar" readings are required before each sensor data
is stored.
2) Modified NOAA database behavior to allow replacement of existing NOAA
records with newer data.
5.12.6 01-31-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Fixed ssh rule counter initialization.
2) Restart apache2 for APT installs (not upgrades) so the php5-sqlite module is
activated.
5.12.5 01-28-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Modified history rollup utility to better handle database and wview NULL
values in station data.
2) Removed obsolete station type selection during ./configure.
3) Added final prompt for confirmation before wviewcleardata purges all data.
5.12.4 01-24-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Fixed wvhttpd and wvcwopd not setting exit status properly.
2) Cleaned up some previously contributed generator code.
3) Added new wviewcleardata utility. This script will purge all archive records
and delete the dependent databases to allow a clean start. Can be used to
purge simulator data when ready to "go live" with your weather station.
5.12.3 01-16-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Fixed bug in ssh rule processing introduced with popen change.
5.12.2 01-16-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Changed libcurl connection options including not stomping on SIG_ALARM for
timeouts (which can skew/disable radlib timers). This was causing the FTP
transfer timer to fail when a transfer timeout occurred. Also enabled DNS
cacheing for libcurl which significantly speeds up file transfers.
5.12.1 01-14-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Added passive mode configuration to the FTP daemon.
5.12.0 01-13-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Change FTP daemon to use libcurl transactions directly, not tnftp. This should
alleviate any "hangs" waiting on the remote server. tnftp dependency removed.
5.11.0 01-09-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Fix log buffer overflow for FTP verbosity.
2) Modify FTP to execute multiple smaller ftp commands to avoid large command
lines which may timeout.
3) Added an FTP marker file indicating the last update time for FTP. This allows
only new files to be transferred, saving time and bandwidth.
4) Added new SSH configuration parameters for remote port number and remote
ssh login username.
5) Added ability to automatically update the configuration database during update
of existing installations when new configuration parameters are added in
future releases.
5.10.3 01-05-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Fix interrupted system call handling for FTP and SSH popen sessions.
5.10.2 01-03-2010
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Modified build environment to better support cross-development.
2) Enhanced the FTP daemon to do a better job of logging the command output
if verbose logging is enabled and the tnftp arguments are changed from "-iV"
to "-iv". All tnftp stdout/stderr output will now be logged for transfer
debugging purposes. The User Manual describes how to do this.
3) Enhanced the SSH daemon to do a better job of logging the command output
if verbose logging is enabled. All rsync stdout/stderr output will now be
logged for transfer debugging purposes.
4) Removed conditional build of the HTTP service. It will always be built and
can be enabled/disabled like any other service.
5.10.1 12-29-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Added PHP logic to the system status page so the refresh is 3 seconds while
starting and 60 seconds otherwise.
2) Fixed a few html errors in the system_status.php file.
3) Modified the software identifier string tacked on to the end of CWOP packets.
5.10.0 12-28-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Added new status facility so wview processes can report their status and
meaningful statistics. The status data will be stored in text files in the
/var/run/wview directory in an "INI" file format. /var/run is transient and
usually not mounted on any physical media (including flash or SD drives).
2) Added status information by wview service to the wviewmgmt System Status
page. Status, last message and up to 4 service-specific statistics are
presented. Modified the page to auto-refresh every 10 seconds.
5.9.5 12-26-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Updated day history table insertion to replace existing records.
2) Fixed LSB header for debian init.d start script.
5.9.4 12-25-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Added "IsBlocking" check for ethernet medium reads.
5.9.3 12-25-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Added LSB header to the debian start script.
2) Fixed debian postinst script to always overwrite the wview-version file.
3) Added support for wviewd shutdown notification to other daemons if it fails
initialization and shuts down. "/etc/init.d/wview stop" should still be
issued to ensure all daemons shutdown (ftp and ssh daemons do not receive
internal messages and radmrouted must be stopped externally).
5.9.2 12-24-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Fixed errant "functions.php" inclusion in the tarball.
2) Added gawk dependency for the debian package.
3) Fixed a link in the User Manual.
5.9.1 12-23-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Fixed sqlite3 dependency in debian control file. Fixed install "error" when
apache2 is not installed.
2) Updated alarm daemon handling of VP consoleBatteryStatus.
5.9.0 12-22-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.9.0 or newer
1) Added station support for most Texas Weather Instruments stations. Thanks to
David Finster for development and debug support.
2) Changed alarm datafeed socket to publish LOOP data and archive records in
support of the new wview virtual station. LOOP and archive packets will now
be sent in network byte order. Added new utilities to provide host-to-network
and network-to-host conversion of LOOP and archive packets in datafeed.[ch].
The start frame for loop data has been changed so the start frame can be used
as a packet type indicator as both LOOP and archive packets will now be pushed.
3) Added new station type "Virtual". This allows remote forwarding of one wview
installation to another. A wview server connected to a real station can run
just the wviewd daemon and alarm daemon which will push archive and LOOP data
to a remote wview server configured as "Virtual" which will receive the archive
and LOOP data and use it to generate files and html as a normal wview server
would.
4) Fixed a bug in htmlHistoryInit which caused the wview-history.sdb database to
be filled with NULL records if there was no archive history available. Simply
delete the $prefix/var/wview/archive/wview-history.sdb file and restart wview.
5) Cleaned up the debian package generation control files including making
"radlib-dev" a prerequisite for wview. APT upgrades of the 5.8.0 package
should be seamless.
6) Source code: GLC_VALUE_NONE is dead, replaced by ARCHIVE_VALUE_NULL.
5.8.0 12-12-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.5 or newer
1) Updated Awekas US templates to send proper rain unit.
2) Added new data tag "--stationName--" (brackets removed) to display the
station name as configured in wviewmgmt.
3) Updated build environment to support debian packaging. Added wview debian
package support. See the new User Manual for details.
4) Removed use of the HTTP_DOC_ROOT environment variable. Now the install
location for wviewmgmt will be $(localstatedir)/wviewmgmt. Soft links can
be used to make this visible in the http server document root as desired.
$(localstatedir) is /usr/local/var by default.
5) Added new configuration database creation script for debian package
installations. It is used by the debian package post-installation script.
6) Changed the default station type configured from Vantage Pro to Simulator.
7) Added targets for default generation configuration of "chrome", "standard",
"US units" to the build. It will not overwrite existing html configuration
(based on existence of the wview-conf.sdb file). wviewhtmlconfig will no
longer be required outside of the new installation unless a different skin
or different units are selected.
8) Reformatted the User Manual wview-User-Manual.html. Removed old references
and added new content for the debian and MacPorts package installs.
5.7.1 11-14-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.5 or newer
1) Fixed legacy HILOW retrieval logic so the first hour of rain/ET in a day is
not skipped when computing daily rain.
5.7.0 11-12-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Added "install-exec-hook" to Makefile.am and removed "install-env" target.
Now the old "install-env" tasks will be done automatically after the
installation tasks and all can be invoked with "make install". Added
"uninstall-hook" target to clean up all "install-exec-hook" data.
The "uninstall" target should never be used unless all data (including
archive) is to be removed.
2) Changed library search order in the LDFLAGS variable for all processes. This
ensures that libraries installed by package management systems are used
before older system-installed libraries.
5.6.4 11-05-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Further clean up of chart labels to support DST strangeness.
5.6.3 11-03-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Changed computed rain rate period to 5 minutes for stations for which it is
computed.
2) Fixed example alarm scripts so the path is correct.
3) Fixed issue in Vantage Pro archive record time stamping when DST "falls back".
Now all records will be stored in the archive database for Vantage Pro,
including the "2nd" 1 AM to 2 AM period. All non-archive-generating stations
were already doing this.
4) Modified day history chart time labeling to be smarter about DST changes.
5.6.2 10-21-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Fixed bug in Makefile.am which allowed the station type to be overwritten
during "make install-env".
5.6.1 10-21-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Updated the User Manual and quick start guides.
5.6.0 10-11-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Added a "scripts" directory to the distribution. Added "wview-install-debian"
and "wview-upgrade" scripts to the distro.
2) Incorporated a few more defensive measures and fixed a few return values and
one transposed "break" statement based on user comments. Thanks David Barto.
3) Added the HTML page "wview-Debian-Quick-Start.html" to the distribution. It
describes a very simple method for installation on debian and derivative
systems.
4) Fixed a remaining bug with the day history table population when no data
exists for one or more archive periods. Consult the User Manual for how to
regenerate the day history table.
5) Added better resolution to email alerts; added support for all stations.
5.5.6 09-24-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Fixed a bug for utilities accessing old WLK database files introduced in
5.5.4.
5.5.5 09-22-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Fixed a bug for forecast icons and rules introduced in 5.5.4.
2) Updated selected log messages to be more user friendly.
5.5.4 09-13-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Fixed a loop boundary bug in htmlgend initialization.
2) Replaced many non-static source string strcpy invocations to provide better
defensive coverage of excessively long configuration strings.
3) Fixed a bug when the proper images.conf format is compromised by user
configuration error.
5.5.3 08-15-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.4 or newer
1) Restored WS-2300 serial operation from change made in 5.5.2.
5.5.2 07-21-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.3 or newer
1) Changed Vantage Pro serial initialization to remove hangup and HW flow
control.
2) Changed internal data structures to not be packed.
3) Changed SIGCHLD processing to be more robust.
5.5.1 06-14-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.2 or newer
1) Changed UV to float in LOOP structure so decimal precision is not lost.
2) Add more paranoid sanity checks for NULL archive data.
3) Remove references to "NOAA" for NOAA-style reports in HTML templates
(because it apparently isn't clear wview generated the data?!?).
4) Updated the User Manual.
5) Added more sanity checks for data converters.
5.5.0 05-14-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.2 or newer
1) Modified WMR9XX station init so it will exit more gracefully.
2) Removed the wviewsqld process. Exports to external database servers will now
be done through the $distro/dbexports scripts.
3) Improved NOAA initialization process so when there are no records, it doesn't
try so hard.
4) Integrated WMR9XX changes to support configurable outside channel (thanks
Kevin Cloy).
5) Split out some NULL value checks for Vantage Pro archive record reception.
6) Added more boundary tests for image generation so when the user tries to
generate non-existent sensors, htmlgend will not crash.
7) Changed wind direction graphs from line graphs to scatter graphs (thanks
Debbie Pickett).
8) Fixed errant UV conversions in the generator.
9) Changed wind direction processing so NULL values are not graphed. Modified
wind direction archive record creation for non-archive generating stations so
it is consistent with VP record creation.
10) Fixed some bucket issues from prior dual units contributions.
11) Updated the wview management site (wviewmgmt) to support network configuration
on Debian-based distributions. Added automatic upgrade support for wviewPlug
systems.
12) Enhanced the install-env make target further including setup for Debian-based
network config.
5.4.0 04-18-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.2 or newer
1) Added new SQLite3-MySQL export scripts. Added $distro/dbexport directory
to contain the script sources. Version 5.4.x will be the last release containing
the wviewsqld daemon as it is now deprecated in favor of the wview-mysql-export
script. Added wview-mysql-create script to allow easy setup of the user, database
and tables on the MySQL server in preparation for export. Archive, HILOW and
NOAA tables are exported to the same MySQL database. Updated User Manual
section on MySQL exports.
2) Added missing documentation of the default wviewmgmt password in the User
Manual.
3) Added marker file support for the archive, hilow and noaa databases so the
synchronization externally via scripts is facilitated.
4) Removed sample databases for config and archive and changed the "install-env"
make target so it generates them. This avoids platform issues of sqlite3 databases.
5) Modified wvpmond so it reads the wview-binary marker file to know which binary
name to use for wviewd. wviewd binary names are now appended with the station type.
6) Added new SQLite3-PostgreSQL export scripts. Added $distro/dbexport directory
to contain the script sources. Version 5.4.x will be the last release containing
the wviewsqld daemon as it is now deprecated in favor of the wview-pgsql-export
script. Added wview-pgsql-create script to allow easy setup of the database
and tables on the PostgreSQL server in preparation for export. Archive, HILOW and
NOAA tables are exported to the same PostgreSQL database. Updated User Manual
section on PostgreSQL exports.
7) Added vpconfig contributions from Deborah Pickett so the ISS channels can be
configured. Also adds support for setting rain collector size and wind direction
calibration.
8) Commented out SQLite3 pragma attempts to change the journaling mode. Support
for it is not consistent across SQLite3 versions.
5.3.2 03-27-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.2 or newer
1) Changed behavior of the "install-env" make target so it only copies config
and run environment examples from the distro if the directories do not exist.
This means future upgrades will require manual copy or manual rename of the
config and run directories prior to building the "install-env" target (if
and when new features are desired).
5.3.1 03-26-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.2 or newer
1) Added SQLite3 version check before applying "journal_mode" pragmas.
5.3.0 03-25-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.2 or newer
1) Created new wviewmgmt site for distribution. Better site navigation, database
updates by page, a new system status page and password protection for site
pages are a few of the enhancements.
2) Added support for a new configure environment variable, HTTP_DOC_ROOT. When
defined prior to invocation of the configure script, the install-env target
will install wviewmgmt to the http document root specified.
3) Updated the install-env target for wview build so the $prefix/var/wview/archive
directory is NOT replaced, but rather updated. This means your existing archive
database should be preserved and will not require a manual copy from the save
directory after the installation.
4) Modified HILOW database population so that archive records are now always added
as a sample (except for cumulative sensors rain, ET and hail). This avoids the
missing of the high wind value in the archive record and LOOP data during the
interval not catching the high wind value. This only applies to Vantage Pro
stations.
5) Changed initial start of sync timer so it cannot inadvertently track with the
archive interval timer.
5.2.0 03-12-2009
--------------------
radlib version required: 2.8.2 or newer
1) Changed station build procedure so all station binaries are built with unique
names such as wviewd_vpro, wviewd_wxt510, etc. Modified the wviewmgmt and
wviewconfig configuration utilities to populate the file
$prefix/etc/wview/wview-binary with the appropriate wviewd binary name;
changed all start scripts to use the contents of this file when starting.
2) Moved the ConfigForms directory out of $distro/examples to $distro/wviewmgmt
and added automake logic so it is aware of the install prefix and opens the
wview-conf.sdb file directly (no soft link required). Added the ability
(with sudo membership for the http user) to start and stop wview from the
Management web interface.
3) Moved NOAA data from the ASCII file noaa.dat to an SQLite3 database,
wview-noaa.sdb. Modified NOAA generation to use the new API. See the User
Manual for a schema description.
4) Added email alert notifications. Added configuration support in wviewmgmt
and added new config parameters to the example wview-conf.sdb database. See
the UPGRADE file for instructions. Sendmail and sendEmail packages are required.
5) Added All Time html tags and sensor support. Added new tags to the almanac
template examples.
6) Fixed a bug in VP LOOP data reception logic which caused UV samples to be
a factor of 10 too large.
7) Fixed a bug in html generation caused by old DST code that pre-dated the new
