I have way too many things to worry about as it is. As I wrote before, it is Christmas time and it is supposed to be more than vulgar materialism. However, coming here and bad-mouthing Stu is kicking a man who clearly is down for some reason. Certainly they are free to do so and there are perfectly appropriate venues to explore your options like WX-Forum. Some people will decide to switch to software other than WeatherCat. So here we are and everyone has to deal with the uncertainty. We have all been spoiled by Stu and should be honest about it. Nobody should complain about not getting their money's worth. It represents a far greater value than most software for that reason. WeatherCat is a huge exception to the rule because I believe Stu really wrote more for himself than for us. It won't get you any updates to WeatherCat. Griping about breached contracts is about as useful as pushing on a rope. Life isn't fair and the software industry is like any other - cold, cruel, and only interesting it one thing - profit. Support for Spell Catcher ended when the developer died of pancreatic cancer. I'm still using Mojave in part because of two pieces of software really find useful Max Menus and Spell Catcher. Apple is increasingly squeezing developers and many simply give up. There was a time when Apple bent over backward to make sure developers could thrive. So exactly how much money have you paid for WeatherCat? Just what exactly did you expect for your investment - lifetime service? Software gets discontinued all the time and Apple is most definitely partially to blame. Is peace on earth and goodwill to all men nothing more than silly rhetoric? Try being sick around Christmas and see what the answer feels like. They reveal how we see ourselves and each other. WeatherCat isn't simply a piece of software nor is this forum simply a technical support website. I know Stu well enough to realize this isn't a simple matter of laziness or overwork, and I am deeply worried. Bad things do happen in this world and nobody should be cavalier when someone who is important to us drops off the radar. My own health has taken a serious turn for the worse and I have considerable difficulty getting to the forum each day to answer questions. I just learned that a fellow Buick owner had a very bad case of COVID, spent months in ICU, and was given only 20% chance to live. The holiday season is the time when we reconnect with old friends. Obviously you don't understand that Stu is WeatherCat. I very much hope WeatherCat does continue and I would happily pay for a Major Version update, Oh and I also have WeeWX running as well! The Mac instance is fed by my Vantage Pro 2 via a USB Data Logger - this is just for testing at the moment because WeatherCat uses the USB Data Logger! The second is fed by my Ecowitt Sensors and has an Ecowitt lightning detector and an Ecowitt AQI. The first Raspberry Pi is fed by my Vantage Pro 2 via a Davis WeatherLink Live and also has a Davis AirLink Live. I have three instances of CMX running, two on a Raspberry Pi4b and one on a Mac mini. Thus it makes sense to look elsewhere, so you have something to fall back on, just in case. I am not saying that everyone should dump WeatherCat - I still have it running here.Īll I am saying is that *IF* WeatherCat is not developed and more, there may possibly come a time in the not too distant future where a Monterey update breaks it. There are frequent updates/bug fixes and it has a lively active forum. I am not a coder so I can make no comment about the state of the CMX code.Īll I can say is that I found it easy to install and it has run impeccably.
