Twitter: change to new API as the old one has been turned off (so all tweets failed).
Note: there seems to be an issue with the new API and degree symbols (and therefore also, presumably, with any non 7-bit ASCII character such as 'accented' characters) such that any tweet containing one fails with "400 Bad Request". I have therefore temporarily removed the degree symbol from the standard built-in message until I can get a solution from Twitter.
I decided to delay the official release of 1.9.3 and have another beta, mainly for the 'USB lockup' work around.
New web tag <#metdateyesterday> - gives yesterday's 'meterological' date, for those using 0900/1000 rollover
New web tag <#DaysSince30Dec1899> (gives whole and fractional part) Example: 41250.6523310301
Make sure today's rain total is reset at end of day before any internet updates.
Experimental option in the station settings - "Synchronise Fine Offset reads". This is an attempt to work around the Fine Offset 'USB lockup' problem. It does this by synchronising once a day with the console's 48-second and 60-second updates, and avoids communicating with the console for three seconds either side of each of those. Thanks to Jim Easterbrook for the method. Note that this option is not enabled by default; you need to select it if you want to use it.
