weewx-skyfield 1.17

Two things in this release: a complete Danish translation of the Sky
page, contributed by native speaker Gert Andersen, and dates that
follow the report's language: "2. aug" on a
Danish or German page where every language used to get the English
"Aug 2". Drop-in upgrade from any 1.x — install over it, no config
changes; an English page looks exactly as before.

What's new

  • Danish ships. lang/da.conf is a complete translation,
    contributed by native speaker Gert Andersen: the page prose, every
    panel string, the body names, the moon phases, the compass points
    (east is Ø, west V, SSW is SSV) and all 88 constellation names. One
    line turns it on:

    [StdReport]
    [[SkyfieldReport]]
        lang = da

    Tests keep the Danish complete the same way they keep the German,
    French, Dutch and Spanish: new strings cannot ship untranslated.

    The Sky page in Danish

    And single-column, as a tablet or phone sees it:

    The Sky page in Danish, single column

  • Dates follow the language. The page's three date formats — the
    header date, the countdown chips, the panel tooltip dates — were
    fixed in the code in the English month-day style; no setting could
    reorder them. They are now translatable [Texts] keys, so every
    shipped language gets its own order out of the box: "2. aug" for
    Danish and German, "2 aug" for French, Dutch and Spanish, and the
    English unchanged. The month and weekday names follow the
    report's locale, WeeWX-standard: set lang to a full installed
    locale — e.g. lang = da_DK.UTF-8, which still loads da.conf —
    and the names render in the report's language too (on Debian-family
    systems, enable the locale first with
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales). The manual's
    Translations page
    has the details.

  • Known Skyfield Issues — a new README section and
    manual page
    covering the rare, benign RuntimeWarning from Skyfield's
    almanac.py line 339 (upstream
    skyfield #1114;
    this extension's author diagnosed the root cause and contributed a
    proposed fix upstream). weewx-skyfield already discards the affected
    event, so reports render complete and no user action is needed.

Requirements

  • Python 3.9 or later
  • WeeWX 5.2 or later
  • Skyfield (1.47 or later) and NumPy in WeeWX's Python environment (see the
    README); PyEphem is NOT required

Installing/upgrading

Download weewx-skyfield.zip from this release, then:

weectl extension install weewx-skyfield.zip

Restart WeeWX. No weewx.conf changes are needed when upgrading from
1.x. Note that upgrading replaces the bundled skin (skins/Skyfield/,
including its lang/ files) — if you have edited an installed lang file
(trying out corrections, say), save a copy or send the corrections
upstream first; local additions such as extra star names survive
upgrades best as [[[Almanac]]] entries in weewx.conf (see the
manual).
