DEUTSCH:
Version 2.6a enthält den experimentellen Support für WD Live. Dieses Update ist noch nicht ausgiebig getestet worden, wendet sich also eher an experimentierfreudige Naturen.

Änderungen gegenüber V2.6:

* Beseitigt einen Fehler der zur wiederholten Ausgabe von Regenfall beim Export nach WSWIN und WD führen kann.
* Fügt für alle Temp/Hygro-Sensore die Werte Heat-Index und Humidex hinzu. Beide Werte werden von Meteohub berehcnet und nicht von der Wetterstation abgelsen. Gewisse Abweichungen zur Anzeoge auf der Wettertsation sind also möglich.
* Unterstützt WD live (experimenteller Status). Meteohub kann nun WD-Live ohne weitere Unterstützung durch ein anderes Computersystem WD-Live direkt mit Daten speisen. Das Aktualisierungsintervall beträgt 5 Minuten. WD_live support ist noch experimentell. Wie es aktiviert wird kann dem frisch überarbeiteten Handbuch entnommen werden (Abschnitt 2.17).
* Die Behandlung von HTML-Templates wurde um weitere Funktionen erweitert (Indexzugriff, Selektion von Teilzeichenketten). Details finden sich im Handbuch in Abschnitt 3.4.
* Upload-Probleme mit den Icons einiger Mondphasen wurden beseitigt

-----------------------------------------------

ENGLISH:
This update introduces support for WD live for the first time. Code has not been tested very thoroughly. As a result this update is more for users who would like to be early adopters to the new WD Live support than those who prefer most stable operation.

Changes since V2.6:
* Fixes a bug that causes events with duplicate rainfall when exporting data to WSWIN and WD in an 1 minute time schedule.
* Adds support for heat index and humidex for temp/hygro sensors. Both values are not taken from the weather station but computed inside Meteohub, so differences to the display of your weather station might occur.
* Adds support for WD live (experimental). Now Meteohub can directly feed WD live without the need of any additional computer systems. Update frequency is every 5 minutes. Have a look at the updated manual (section 2.17) how to get this working.
* Handling of HTML templates has been enhanced by new functions (indexed access, selection of substrings). Details can be found in the manual (section 3.4).
* Moon phase icons that caused trouble during FTP upload have been replaced by working ones.

gm, Boris...

this morning i gave v2.6a a very first try...looks real good. I would like to be a part of experimental tester because i'm running meteohub in combination with wd and wdl for a few month.

Few things i saw:

if there is no year in the current data it will show up with date like "20.07. undefined"

real great is UV-Index, because wd itself is not able to display it, hi

i use WDL 5.04, in all the *.txt the very last info is the type of data, i.e. c=current, e=extra, h=hourly and so on and then the version# like 10.37k
(b15 i'm using), do not know if that does anything important?

i miss the calculation of cloud-height...is it the difference between actual outside temp minus dew-temp * 125 (in meters) ? i'm not shur, but must be easy to implement.

but let me say...you did a great job so far, if i can help...let me know

if you like to see my website...have a look at "http://dc9lk.info" at the moment it is running as with all the grafics from meteohub and the weather actual from wd,

thanks for feedback.

1) I gave the year as 4 digits, may be WDL does not like this, will change it to 2 digits.
2) I was not aware of the meaning of the first letter in the version string. thanks for the hint on this!
3) I did not know that cloud height could be computed that easy. your formula is in sync what I have just found in wiki. thanks for that, will be included in the next update.
