open2300 / News: Recent posts

Note that the bug tracker has been disabled. Instead you are encouraged to submit bug reports on the Open2300 Wiki.
Here you can also submit patches and other related programs.
I have chosen this approach because the free format of a wiki topic per bug, feature request, patch etc gives a much more flexible way of communicating compared to the stiff bug tracker systems.

The Open2300 project is now on a wiki based on TWiki. Only files are kept at Sourceforge to keep the load on my ADSL under control.

The project Motion did the same a year ago with great success.

1.10 2005 March 05 - Kenneth Lavrsen
rw2300 (and therefore all binaries)
- Fixed an interger division error that had been missed in 1.9
- mysql2300.sql definitions for temperatures did not allow space for
negative temperatures below -9.9. Added extra decimal space for all
dimentions that can be negative

1.9 2005 February 27 - Kenneth Lavrsen
- Fixed two bugs in the wind_reset() function in rw2300.c
- Changed code to give less read_safe errors.
- Fixed inaccuracy bug. This cased small errors on decimal values.
- Report error when serial port is locked by other program
- Added Ralf Winkler's multilingual version of weatherstation.
- Added new tool pgsql2300

Release of 1.8 - 2004 November 13 - Kenneth Lavrsen.

Version 1.8 fixes a bug where Linux versions of open2300 would fail reporting read_safe() error.

It was a missing flag in the serial port setup which caused the problem.
Martin Husemann submitted a patch that further made the serial communication more robust. This is also included in version 1.8

For the Windows version there are no changes from version 1.7 to 1.8.

Open2300 has been released as version 1.7
This is a small bugfix release.
A pointer overflow bug in fetch2300 which caused seg faults has been fixed.
Config files and output formats are not changed.
Users should recompile fetch2300 and install the 1.7 version.
Windows users can simply replace the fetch2300.exe.

open2300 version 1.6 - 2004 April 22 - Kenneth Lavrsen. This is a minor bug release which fixes a bug when resetting 24 hour rain.

Minor bugfix: Fixed reading of minimum Windspeed.

Major new feature is reset of minimum and maximum value and reset of rain counters.

Citizen Weather servers are now in config file instead of being hardcoded (contribution by Randy Miller).

Small improvements to the library (more robust)

Open2300 version 1.3 is released.
Nice new features. Many extra functions in the library. New tools like histlog2300 that logs the history data to a log file, interval2300 that sets the history saving interval and light2300 that can turn display backlight on and off.
This version also compiles under FreeBSD as well as Linux. And again there are binary exe files for Windows in the windows-bin directory.
Open2300 also changes log format so that the needed accuracy is provided for non-metric units. The time format is changed to the ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD). This may require a little tweaking of your webpage software.
Because of the changed log format and date format the weathergraphs package is also released as version 1.1.

Version 1.2 of open2300 is released.
New features summary:
- Options now in a config file which enables distributing binaries also.
- The reading of weather data is made into functions making it much
easier to make your own programs.
- The code is being ported to also work under windows (compiling with
open source compiler - mingw).
- The 1.2 also includes upload to Citizen Weather.
- A new data log program which stores data in a MySQL database.
- Binaries for Windows included in distribution (except for mysql2300).

Nothing on this project yet. But soon version 1.2 will be released. Maybe already the week-end of March 6-7. I am coding like crazy.
