I can’t think of a 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT that doesn’t work on openHAB 1.7.1 runtime (but maybe there is one). I would leave most of your cleanly installed 1.7.1 in place as is, but hopefully you will be able to help us test a 1.8 release candidate very soon. And yes, I’m a Vera refugee! 
I won’t side track… I just am so excited about openhab, it’s exactly what I thought vera was going to be when I started there. Mind you I’m still using my vera as my zwave radio and probably will continue to do so.
Anyways. OH 1.8? I thought 1.7.1 was the last build and all dev was moving to 2.*
I removed the old .jar and added the new about an hour ago. I made a new item from the wiki but it isn’t updating. Perhaps I’ll have to wait until the day changes for it to update? I haven’t run trace yet… I’ll do that if I get a second.
openHAB 1.8 (and possible maintenance releases) is planned to be the last 1.x full release. Some addons will live on there, but the rest of openHAB will be 2.x.
I don’t know how often the weather binding retrieves from the providers, but if you come to the strong belief that the change is not working as intended, please report back, thanks!
I think it’s still broken or I have done something wrong.
2015-12-28 12:55:22.325 [ERROR] [i.internal.GenericItemProvider] - Binding configuration of type ‘weather’ of item ‘RainToday‘ could not be parsed correctly.
org.openhab.model.item.binding.BindingConfigParseException: Invalid binding, unknown type or property: locationId=home, type=precipitation, property=total, unit=inches
Number RainToday “Precip total [%d in]” (RainSensor) {weather=“locationId=home, type=precipitation, property=total, unit=inches”}
Are you certain that you only have the new weather binding JAR file in your addons folder, and no longer have the 1.7 JAR that was installed? Looking at the code change to add the total property to precipitation, I don’t see a reason for it to not be resolved.
Fairly sure…

I stopped openhab runtime, deleted old jar copied new jar, started openhab. I’m experimenting with the dsc plugin at the same time and just updated that to the 1.8 as well as I needed functionality that was added. I’m not seeing the functionality from that yet either. Is there something else I need to do?
Doesn’t make sense, unless under some bizarre situation you are changing the contents of some unused addons directory. Did you perform the official apt-get install? Are these add-on files in the /usr/share/openhab/addons directory?
I didn’t use the package manager. I downloaded the files and placed them in /opt/openhab
I have been manually using sh start.sh via ssh for the time being. My sitemaps, items etc are in /opt/openhab/configurations* and update properly when changed.
Just to be sure, what happens if you
sudo find / -name org.openhab.binding\* -print
I have a storage directory that houses the extracted zip so those are most of the hits:

Oh and I forgot to mention the DSC plugin is working. I just hadn’t done a full arm/disarm with code cycle to force it to give me the info I expected.
The jar’s date says 12/27 at 3:45 am.
I clicked latest artifacts. Looks like that is 1104. 1105 shows failed?
I think perhaps I don’t have the right bits.
Evening. I am somewhat new to Openhab, so I am still learning here.
Can you provide the syntax for the html output? My current setup is this, or at least what I am currently showing. Humidity, plus I would like the rainfall total.
<td>Humidity:</td>
<td>${weather:atmosphere.humidity}%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rainfall Total:</td>
**** Unsure how to define this.
If this is more complicated then this, I am happy to re-post.
Thanks for the help, and making Openhab even better.
