Re:Ekos uncommanded shutdown

For 2 nights I had a weird problem. After an hour or so I find EKOS (KStars 3.5.3 Stable) to shut down on its own. When I checked the log, the only thing I can find is the weather module gives a warning, and then EKOS/INDI shuts down. I was using the scheduler and didn't check the weather limit option, ut I have open weather as indi weather. I hope someone tells me if this is a bug in the new code or something I did wrong.

I have attached the full log but here is a snip of the code I found suspicious:

You're right, it wasn't checking for the checkbox when weather was in danger zone. It should be fixed tonight.

Hi Jasem,

Is this fix will be available in the stable release? If not when do you expect the next release with this fix to available?

Also if this stable release is going to take longer time, can I just delete the open weather support as a workaround?
