stellarium - v23.1

The installers are located in the "Assets" section at the end of these release notes!

Release notes

The Stellarium Team has released version 23.1.

From now on, releases will have version numbers indicating a year.release scheme. For Windows, the version of the Qt framework used is visible as part of the package name. Details are in the User Guide.

PLEASE UPDATE!

This issue mitigates a potential security issue (reported as CVE-2023-28371), where scripts were allowed to write output text and screenshots to other places on users' systems apart from the Stellarium user data directory or configured screenshot directory. Running unknown scripts (which is a Bad Idea(tm) to begin with) could have exploited that by attackers (script authors) writing even command files to vulnerable places. We have not received a report where this would have caused a problem.

However, now users must explicitly allow such behaviour in the settings tab of the Script Console.

Apart from that, this release mostly aimed at fixing issues in the 1.* series, but also brought a few new features: - Much improved "Solar System observer" and other "Planet observers". - Solar dates along the ecliptic - Fixed issues with Observation Lists, and removed need for the extra edit dialog. - Updated shader code for smoother projection - Allow texture decimation on the fly for very weak systems like Raspberry Pi 3. - Solar limb darkening - Proper shadow edge for satellites

Behind the scenes, many more minor issues were fixed.

TELESCOPE USERS

Like in the 1.* series, it seems the TelescopeControl plugin at least on Windows works better in the Qt5-based releases. Just install this if you are affected. We are looking for telescope users with programming skills to help us fixing this issue. Reward possible!

Release notes

The Stellarium team did it. Stellarium 1.0 is here!

What makes this 1.0?

• After more than 20 years of development the program is finally accurate enough for historical application.
• This is the first release based on the Qt6 framework, so the project is safe for future development. These packages are tagged with a version number like 1.22.3.
• We keep releasing Qt5-based packages for legacy or obsolete systems. This may include many Windows users who have to run ANGLE mode. These packages are tagged with a version number like 0.22.3.

What is new for users?

• A new, much better skylight model (Not for MacOS and OpenGL ES2 systems, sorry.)
• Many details around eclipses
• Updated Observation List features
• New features in AstroCalc tool
• HiDPI improvements
• Better dithering
• Able to use Windows location service (Windows)
• New skyculture: Samoan
• Updated several skycultures
• Updates in Angle Measure, Satellites, Oculars, Remote Control, Pulsars plugins
• Many more bugfixes.

A huge thanks to the people who helped us a lot by reporting bugs, and especially contributed in development!

Clear Skies!

stellarium - v0.15.0

Release notes:

Released 2016-07-31

In memory of our team member Barry Gerdes.

Version 0.15.0 is based on Qt5.6. Starting with this version, some graphics cards have been blacklisted by Qt and are automatically forced to use ANGLE on Windows. We introduce a major internal change with the StelProperty system. This allows simpler access to internal variables and therefore more ways of operation. Most notably this version introduces an alternative control option via RemoteControl, a new webserver interface plugin. We also introduce another milestone towards providing better astronomical accuracy for historical applications: experimental support of getting planetary positions from JPL DE430 and DE431 ephemerides. This feature is however not fully tested yet.

The major changes:

• Added StelProperty system
• Added new plugin for exhibitions and planetariums - Remote Control
• Added new skycultures: Macedonian, Ojibwe, Dakota/Lakota/Nakota, Kamilaroi/Euahlayi
• Updated code of plugins
• Added Bookmarks tool and updated AstroCalc tool
• Added new functions for Scripting Engine and new scripts
• Added Miller Cylindrical Projection
• Added updates and improvements in DSO and star catalogues (include initial support of The Washington Double Star Catalog)
• azimuth lines (also targetting geographic locations) in ArchaeoLines plugin
  
• Many fixes and improvements...

stellarium - v0.14.0

Release notes:

Released 2015-10-24

The Stellarium development team after 6 months of development is proud to announce the release of version 0.14.0 of Stellarium.

Version 0.14.0 brings a big leap forward in astronomical accuracy for historical applications: - Precession now follows the IAU2006 model in the long-time version from Vondrak et al. 2011. - Nutation is applied (IAU2000B solution). Given that nobody has observed it without telescope and the model does not give limits of applicability, we limit its application to 1500..2500 - Application of DeltaT has been simplified and made a bit more intuitive.

We now dare to add another coordinate system: Ecliptic coordinates of date.

We can therefore now show that planetary positions given by the commonly used solution VSOP87 is applicable to -4000..+8000 only, and its use outside this range will give somewhat artificial results. There is more to follow in future versions.

The other big addition is a greatly improved collection of DSO data with lots of possibilities in a new GUI tab to select for object type and/or catalog. In total, 15 catalogs are now built-in!

Also the Meteor Shower, Satellites, Telescope Control and 3D Sceneries plugins have been improved.

Landscapes can have switchable labels, so you can e.g. indicate mountain peaks.

In total 83 bugs and wishlist items were fixed or at least decided.

A platform-specific change for Windows: OpenGL binding is now dynamic. That means, there are no more separate OpenGL/ANGLE/MESA downloads, but after installation you will have separate commands in the start menu which force ANGLE or MESA modes.

Changelog:

List of changes between version 0.13.3 and 0.14.0: - Added accurate calculations of the ecliptic obliquity. Finally we have good precession! (LP: #512086, #1126981, #1240070, #1282558, #1444323) - Added calculations of the nutation. Now we optionally have IAU-2000B nutation. (Applied between 1500..2500 only.) - Added new DSO catalog and related to him features (LP: #1453731, #1432243, #1285175, #1237165, #1189983, #1153804, #1127633, #1106765, #1106761, #957083) - Added Iridium flares to Satellites plugin (LP: #1106782) - Added tool for prediction of Iridium flares to Satellites plugin - Added AstroCalc - a tool for calculating planetary phenomena (LP: #1181702) - Added list of interesting double stars in Search Tool - Added list of interesting variable stars in Search Tool - Added cross-identification data for HIP stars (SAO and HD numbers) - Added sinusoidal projection - Added draw DSO symbols with different colors - Added labels to the landscapes (gazetteer support) - Added a new behaviour for drawing of orbit for selected planet - drawing of the orbits of 'hierarchical group' (parent and all their childrens) of the selected celestial body (disabled by default) (LP: #1071457). - Added an option to lower the horizon, e.g. for a widescreen cylindrical view with mostly sky and ground on lower screen border (LP: #1299063). - Added various timeshift-by-year commands (LP: #1478670) - Added Moon's phases info - Added support of SOCKS5 proxies (LP: #1499974) - Rewriting the Meteor module and the Meteor Showers plugin (LP: #1471143) - Updated skycultures (LP: #1497818) - Updated Hungarian and Brazilian Portuguese translations of landscapes and skycultures - Updated data for Solar System Observer - Updated color scheme for constellations - Updated documentation - Updated QZip stuff - Updated TUI plugin - Updated data for Satellites plugin - Updated Clang support - Updated Pluto and Charon textures - Updated GCVS catalog - Updated ssystem.ini (LP: #1240791) - Using a better formula for CCD FOV calculation in Oculars plugin (LP: #1440330) - Updated on-screen control panel in Oculars plugin (LP: #1467286) - Updated list of detection operating systems (LP: #1504910) - Fixed shortkeys conflict (New shortkeys for Scenery 3D plugin - LP: #1449767) - Fixed aliasing issue with GCC in star data unpacking - Fixed documentation for core.wait() function (LP: #1450870) - Fixed perspective projection issue (LP: #724868) - Fixed crash on activation of AngleMeasure in debug mode (LP: #1455839) - Fixed crash in Sinusoidal Projection (LP: #1472555) - Fixed issue for update bottom bar position when we toggle the GUI (LP: #1409023) - Fixed weird view of the Moon in Oculars plugin when Moon's scaling is enabled - Fixed non-realistic mode drawing of artificial satellites - Fixed availability plugins for the scripting engine (LP: #1468986) - Fixed potention memory bug in Meteor class - Fixed wrong spectral types for some stars (LP: #1429530) - Fixed style of progress bar (LP: #1419895) - Fixed tooltip colors in night mode (LP: #1300801) - Fixed visibility of selected object info in night mode (LP: #1487096) - Fixed behaviour of waitFor function (scripting engine) (LP: #1051858) - Fixed resize event handler on Windows (LP: #1490265) - Fixed regression bug of key movements - Fixed magnitude of the Sun during solar eclipse (LP: #1485245) - Fixed obvious omission in Observability plugin after having separated JD/JDE (LP: #1499161) - Fixed night mode on retina display (LP: #1458109) - Fixed unusual meteor shower display (LP: #1506126) - Enable autosaving the state by default for Compass Marks plugin (LP: #1410987) - Added escape counter to allow exiting loop in solving Kepler's equation (LP: #1465112) - Added limitation magnitude for solar system objects (LP: #1409543) - Added extinctive reddening on the horizon for planets, esp. visible for Sun/Moon/bright planets (LP: #1448621) - Added tooltip for 'Select single constellation' option (LP: #1498022) - Avoid entering locations with leading whitespace (LP: #1083731) - Avoid rendering of sunlight and moonlight when show of Solar System objects is disabled (LP: #1499699) - Change visibleSkyArea limitation to allow landscapes with "holes" in the ground.

• Stellarium now takes into account the refraction of the atmosphere in the visualization of the sky so far, it seems, is the only planetarium simulates refraction in full.
• Redesigned search tool
• Oculars plugin rewritten & expanded. Includes binocular support, better CCD support.
• New plugin: Historical supernovae; now you can watch the flashes of bright 13 of these stars (in the calculation were taken only by those whose peak was brighter than 10m).
• Type of deep-sky objects on the "heaven" Stellarium's now possible to determine visually, without isolating the corresponding object.
• Increase in the number of satellites of the solar system plan...

stellarium - v0.10.5

Release notes:

The Stellarium team is very proud to announce the release of stable version 0.10.5. This is an important bug fix release closing more than 30 bugs in the main application and in the plugins. It also brings small GUI usability improvements, as well as a much reduced starting time.

A huge thanks to all community bug reporters who helped us a lot finding bugs!

Changelog:

0.10.5 [2010-06-02] Bug fix release.

Fixed:

• various problems with OpenGL shaders. If you experience problems with unreadable fonts, try adding the line "use_qpaintenginegl2 = false" in the [main] section of the configuration file (config.ini).
• distorted menu icons on Windows. (LP: #512060)
• LCNUMERIC locale not being set properly, causing problems on some systems with oldstyle landscapes (LP: #518809) and the Satellites plug-in (LP: #522520). (fix proposed by Hleb Valoshka and others)
• planet orbits not being toggled by pressing 'O'. (LP: #536684)
• setting landscape altitude (patch by Georg Zotti).
• making a series of location changes in a script. (LP: #500192)
• telescope control sending RA=0 for objects with RA between (12 and 24?) on Intel Macs. (LP: #544250, fix proposed by David Hulse)
• windows and toolbars not being affected by night vision mode. (LP: #539665)
• a crash on Windows when exiting Stellarium after a search. (LP: #534674)
• the Oculars plug-in not closing its SQL database on exit.
• the last star catalog not being offered for download. (LP: #538291)
• system clock running fast on some Windows systems using ACPI power managment (LP: #514184)
• the top labels of vertical grid lines not being displayed, and improper label rotation.
• script engine was recoded thread-free, this fixes many script related bugs.
• handling of negative/large dates in scripts.
• wrong time at startup when a time zone different than "system_default" is set in the configuration file (LP: #487232)

Changed:

• the Date/Time window is now synchronised with the date/time displayed in the toolbar, instead of showing the last date/time that has been entered.
• the visual style of some plug-ins.
• optimized loading of cities.
• optimized loading of planet textures (lazy loading).
• restructured src/ subdirectories to match code dependencies. Directories modules/, external/ and planetsephems/ are now under core/.
• stars positions and grid are now coded in float instead of double, to avoid huge memory consomption when loading all 9 star catalogs.
• improved management of OpenGL context in StelPainter.
• StelStyle class was moved from core to GUI library.
• GUI related resources are now compiled as part of GUI library.
• don't use a generated config.h anymore (use simple compile definitions instead).
• suppressed most compilation warnings with -Wextra even without the -Wno-unused-parameter flag.
• suppressed all the TelescopeMgr/Telescope code within the core. It is replaced by the TelescopeControl plugin.
• suppressed many unused files from installation target.

Added:

• option to create a desktop shortcut in the Windows installer.
• time dragging: Hold down Ctrl+Space and drag the mouse across the sky to change time speed.
• re-added the "planet trails" feature. Toggle with Shift+T.
• some Sky-Watcher mounts to the list of devices supported by the Telescope Control plug-in.
• yet unused code for computing atmosphere refraction and extinction.
