weewx-loopdata 6.11

The sample report's dark theme is higher contrast and much easier to
read. Drop-in upgrade: install over 6.x, no configuration changes, no
fields line touched. Nothing outside the sample skin changes, and a
skin you copied and customized keeps whatever palette you gave it.

6.10 on the left, 6.11 on the right — same station, same loop packet.

What's new

  • The sample report is much easier to read. White readouts,
    brighter numerals and labels, a recessed track you can actually see on
    every dial, and windrose bands that no longer disappear into the disc.
    The field captions under each gauge lose an opacity that had them
    under the accessibility threshold for text that size.

Requirements

  • WeeWX 4 or 5 (translations need WeeWX 4.6 or later)
  • Python 3.7 or later
  • No third-party Python packages required
  • Satellite almanac fields (almanac.iss.next_pass... and friends) need
    weewx-skyfield
    registered as the almanac; every other almanac field works with
    PyEphem or WeeWX's built-in almanac, as always

Installing/upgrading

Download weewx-loopdata.zip
and install it over your existing copy, then restart weewxd:

weectl extension install weewx-loopdata.zip

(or wee_extension --install weewx-loopdata.zip on WeeWX 4).
