You did some impressive digging, there! There are now two different ways of specifying a schema. The old, V3.9 way, and a new V4.0 way. The new way is more flexible, although the old way is still supported.
The problem is that you're mixing methods. The old way used the superclass manager weewx.wxmanager.WXDaySummaryManager to add in the wind. The new way mentions it explicitly in the schema. Stick with one or the other and you'll be OK. In any case, the database itself has not changed. If you just continue to use your "old" database, it will work fine in V4.0. The only thing that's changed is how to specify the schema for a brand new database. Hope that helps. -tk On Thu, May 21, 2020 at 8:52 AM RothMa <rothmartin1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > i have installed the new stable version 4.0 in parallel (as described in > the WIKI beta test) to test if my hardware and my own extensions work with > python3. > I started with a new database and a new weewx.conf. > My old installation is weewx 3.9.1 (here the database and the weewx.conf > was created with version 3.8.0). > During my tests with the new version I have now encountered a strange > behaviour.
