Release v6.5

weewx-loopdata 6.5

A translation release: a complete French translation of the sample
report ships (Beta, awaiting native-speaker review — corrections and
reviewers very welcome). Drop-in upgrade — install over 6.x; an English
or German report looks exactly as before, and there are no field or
configuration changes. Released alongside weewx-skyfield 1.14 and
weewx-celestial 7.4, which add French to their pages.

What's new

• French ships (Beta). lang/fr.conf is a complete translation:
  the gauge headings follow the French labels of WeeWX's own Seasons
  skin (Point de Rosée, Pression Atmosphérique, Taux de
  Précipitations, …), the nine trend.barometer.desc descriptions use
  the tendency vocabulary of French weather bulletins (en hausse rapide, stationnaire, en baisse lente, …), and the value-side
  sections a French target report serves — compass ordinates, moon
  phases, body and all 88 constellation names — are copied verbatim
  from weewx-skyfield's and weewx-celestial's French (a test keeps the
  three extensions in step, as it does for the German). Select it with
  lang = fr on the report's stanza; as always, the page's labels
  follow the sample report's lang and the live values follow
  loopdata's target report — out of the box the same report, so one
  line switches both (the manual's
  Translations page
  has the full story). Beta until a native speaker has reviewed it;
  corrections are very welcome as issues or pull requests.

Requirements

• WeeWX 4 or 5 (translations need WeeWX 4.6 or later)
