Change Details

The Stellarium Team has released version 23.1. From now on, releases will have version numbers indicating a year.release scheme. 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 unkn> 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!
