Note 1: This version is built with the very latest version of Delphi, which breaks compatibility with the old version I was using previously. I have therefore had to do a number of fundamental changes. I have done what testing I can, but please let me know of anything you spot that isn't working as it should be. La Crosse and Oregon users in particular may have problems (it may not work at all).
Note 2: I occasionally get a 'bug report' when closing this version. It appears to be crashing in the bug report handler itself, but this may be because it is trying to report a problem in Cumulus. I am awaiting a response from the author about this. The top of stack in the bug report looks like this:
main thread ($165c):

Don't bother reporting this if it happens to you.
Note 3: There are updated web templates include: indexT.htm, todayT.htm, yesterdayT.htm and recordT.htm. Some of the changes are for solar data, which not all of you will have, so you may want to remove those parts (or just ignore them) if you use the new templates.
Note 4: This version of Cumulus requires GDI+ (gdiplus.dll) for the graphs. This should be present on your system. There is a possibility that it may not be, particularly if you are using Windows 2000. If you get an error message regarding this DLL, you can download it from Microsoft here:
