question about weathercat 4.0 build 3528

[drewaz]

I lost access to WC for months but some unknown update of something somehow restored my ability to open WC again.  I saw on WXForum.net in a post by schwab that weathercat 4.0 build 3528 is available to download.  I was under the impression that WC was not going to be updated ....  can anyone provide me with information?  WC is now performing flawlessly for me and I'm a little hesitant to change anything without more information .

Also, any insight if WC will be compatible with the new MacOS?

Thanks .....

Dear drewaz and WeatherCat faithful,

I lost access to WC for months but some unknown update of something somehow restored my ability to open WC again.  I saw on WXForum.net in a post by schwab that weathercat 4.0 build 3528 is available to download.  I was under the impression that WC was not going to be updated ....  can anyone provide me with information?  WC is now performing flawlessly for me and I'm a little hesitant to change anything without more information .

You can stay with WeatherCat 3.x, especially if you don't need any of the enhancements associated with WeatherCat 4.  On the other hand WeatherCat allows you to have two weather stations connected to your computer.    You can find more information about it here:

The big excitiment is being able to run the Ecowitt station components as a secondary weather station.  The Ecowitt station components are much less expensive than comparable products, but perform surprisingly well as Stu as attested to:

For those of us worried about wildfires and particulate pollution adding an Ecowitt station allows us to do something which before was simply impossible with WeatherCat.  I've been running WeatherCat in the two station configuration for about 4 months now and WeatherCat has been very stable even if most of that time was under the ancient MacOS of Mojave.

Also, any insight if WC will be compatible with the new MacOS?

I don't know about the new MacOS, but I recently upgraded to Tahoe and as others have reported, WeatherCat is running just fine there.

I Hope that's some help.

thank you for the prompt reply!  I run Tahoe also and WC works like a charm and I'm thinking that installing Tahoe may have been the key to getting WC running again.  I don't need any of the enhancements in WC 4 and will stick with WC 3 and hope that it works with the new OS.

thanks again!
