errors after upgrading from 1.3beta1 to 1.3 final

[mrneutron42]

OS: Ubuntu 22.10
weewx: 4.5.1
Belchertown: 1.3 final

Installing Belchertown 1.3 had no errors.

$ sudo ~/bin/wee_extension --install weewx-belchertown-release-1.3.tar.gz

After restoring my customized files skin.conf, index.html.tmpl, graphs.conf, index_radar.inc, I stopped & restarted weewx and got errors when wee_reports was called.

$ sudo systemctl stop weewx
$ sudo systemctl start weewx

KeyError: 'radar_width_kiosk'

Can anyone tell what is going wrong?
Is there a missing variable definition in the main weewx.conf file?

I found that if I re-install the 1.3beta1 version of Belchertown, and restart weewx, everything works again, without any errors.
