  Consoles in the MySQL database
Now supports Vantage Pro2
Now supports mySQL Database access by default
Now supports Litte Endian architecture 
Now supports VP/2 DMP & DMPAFT

**********************************

If you are using this software to download the data from your
Vantage Pro and have a public web site showing your data
send me an email with the URL. I will be creating a web page
on my Weather Web Site with those links. Tell everyone that 
you know about this to do that also.
Email Weather at curtronics dot com with your URL.

If you are using this software to download data from your
Vantage Pro and are doing so using the USB port on the
console I would like to hear from you. I'm particularly
interested it whether or not you are having any problems. I 
am working with one installation that is having some problems
with Debian on a NSLU. I'd like to determine where the 
problem is in order to work towards eliminating it.
Email Weather at curtronics dot com with your info. Thank you.

I would highly recommend you use this version over Joe Jaworski's
0.6 version. This version, along with added reporting like Solar, ET,
THSW, among other enhancements, has a number of data reporting fixes.
Joe's version has been static since 2004. If any bugs are encountered
please report them to curt (at) curtronics (dot) com and I'll see what
I can do, no promises though. If it's a real bug good chance it will
get fixed. If it's an enhancement request and I have the time, good
chance it will get done.

As of version 1.0.0 the serial port is no longer grabbed and locked 
unless communication with the vPro is necessary. -x & -N options for 
example do not need to communicate. Also you need not provide the 
serial port on the command line when doing so.

A calculation for Sunrise and Sunset has been added using NOAA's
algorithm as of version 1.0.0. Mostly because if the Vantage Pro has
the wrong Daylight Savings Time or date set the Sunrise and Sunset it
reports is wrong. And since Davis is slow to provide software updates
and you need to pay them to use their dongle to do a software upgrade,
well you figure it out. As a side benefit of adding this code the time
of Solar Noon is also calculated. If you are using the MySQL database
version 10 or 11 you need to run the upgrade SQL script to upgrade your
database schema to 11.1 which among other improvements adds the
"SolarNoon" column in the YMD table. To use this calculation, the -N
option, you need to define your default Latitude and Longitude in the 
dhandler.h header file in the include/ directory or use the -K and -k
options to provide your Latitude and Longitude in order for the -N 
option to be able to do the calculations. You can leave the default 
values at -1000.0 but then you have to use the -K & -k options to 
provide the Latitude and Longitude you want the Sunrise and Sunset to 
be calculated for. One note, when using the -K and -k options the 
calculation will use your timezone and daylight savings time values so 
any Sunrise/Sunset times will be in you local time not the time at that 
location.

A word about the VP/2 DMP & DMPAFT commands. In my testing using DMPAFT 
with a date and time it did not have the expected, at least what I 
expected, results. For some reason DMPAFT always starts with the record 
after the record you ask for, it thinks that is the record you asked for. 
Go figure. Maybe it's supposed to do that

TODO's

None at the moment.
