Release v7.7

weewx-celestial 7.7

A complete Spanish translation of the sample skin ships (Beta, awaiting
native-speaker review — corrections and reviewers very welcome), and the
French translation drops its Beta label. Drop-in upgrade from 7.x —
install over it, no config changes, no loop-data field changes; an
English, German, French or Dutch page looks exactly as before. Released
alongside weewx-skyfield 1.16, which adds Spanish to the Sky page.

What's new

• Spanish ships (Beta). lang/es.conf is a complete translation
  whose shared vocabulary — body names, moon phases, compass points and
  all 88 constellation names — is copied verbatim from weewx-skyfield's
  Spanish, and a test keeps the extensions in step (as it does for the
  German, French and Dutch). Because the live loop-data values follow
  the language of loopdata's target report, one line switches the whole
  page, labels and live values alike:

  [StdReport]
      [[CelestialReport]]
          lang = es
  

  Beta until a native speaker has reviewed it; corrections are very
  welcome as issues or pull requests.

  

• French is out of Beta. The native-speaker review the French
  translation was waiting for completed with weewx-skyfield 1.15 and
  confirmed it as shipped; the labeling here now matches.

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or later
• WeeWX 5.2 or later
• weewx-loopdata
  5.0 or later

  strongly recommended (required for Proxima Centauri), or PyEphem

Installing/upgrading

Download weewx-celestial.zip from this release, then install right over
the existing 7.x:

weectl extension install weewx-celestial.zip

Restart WeeWX. No weewx.conf changes are needed when upgrading from 7.x.
(Upgrading from 6.x or earlier follows the README's upgrade instructions —
those paths do need the uninstall step, and from 5.x the migration
utility.)
