December 28th, 2011· Introduce update checker
· SkyChart prefers NGC objects names upon search -> increases hit rate. Also wired chart-locks by CdC are now resolved
· Add HotKeys (Save, Open, HTML Export, New Observation, Edit Observation, Help)
· Use Java API 2.1 ( 2.1)
· EquPosition now in double precision for sec values (in RA and Decl)
· Delete text in ImageContainer wasn't I18N string
· Change of observer contact details didn't work
December 28th, 2011· Save users prefered window size (at most windows)
· Use model index for table column size (instead if column name which is not I18N save)
· Add possibility to mark certain elements (Equipment like Filter, Scope, Eyepiece, ...) as unavailable
· Add zoom in/out to imager dialog
· Fix strange random problems in TableSorter (index = 0 throws NPE)
· Fix strange ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions that occurs sometimes while loading new XML files
· Fix bugs from SF Tracker in Variable Star catalog loader
· Add equipment unavailability feature
· Move default logging location from install directory to user home (add. logging location can be set by passing log= as cmd line parameter)
· Change german hint files encoding to acsii (and encode unicode characters)
· Polish ObservationItemView (Images section sticks now to bottom, Add unit to exit pupil)
· Add horizontal sky map with object location to ObservationItemView
· Fix problem (endless loop) in observation image loading
· Bugfix: Image section expands now to required space on first click in ObservationItemView
· Entering time field (hour, min, second) with cursor now autom. selectes current value for easier time editing. Also values are directly checked.
· Adding AppleScript Application to start OM on MacOS
December 28th, 2011· Use Java API 2.0_p1
· Determine installed languages during runtime
· Fix problem in variable star extension: VarStar selection screen in display light curve dialog was buggy (first/last observation date determination)
· Fix sorting problems in Table (most cases: e.g. Eyepiece focal length sorting is still messy as it sorts alphabetical, due to Zoom eyepieces)
· Fix problem in CatalogDialog. TableHeader in DeepSkyExtension didn't switch language during runtime.
· Date sorting in Observations and Session is now reversed, so that latest observations are at the top, and oldest observations are at the bottom
· Fix problems with content language selection (if no content was selected and preferences were saved, the setAll... dialog appeared)
· Add export feature to statistics dialog (Export observed/missing to OAL/HTML)
· Column width and divider location is now saved in OM configuration
· Fix problem in XSL folder scanning (Files weren't excluded)
· Fix naming: galactic cluster is globular cluster in english
· Add Constellation column to ObservationTableModel
· Add simple observation project support (no UI)
· Adopt window sizes to suite most Desktops
· Use latest revised NGC/IC from Wolfgang Steinicke
· Show observations in left side navigation tree, where observer is coObserver (under the corresponding observer)
· Fix problem in session table model. CoObserver list was always prefixed with null;
· Ensure certain width of statistics dialog
· Set meaningful default values in preferences dialog
· Stop statistics threads correctly in case user pressed windows X button
· Show nice wait popup, for HTML/XML exports
· Fix problem in save on exit dialog. Cancel didn't stop application shutdown.
· Fix problem when changing session in observation dialog. Change of session, cleared the whole non-persistant UI cache.
· CatalogLoader/ProjectLoader wait popup is now animated
· Fix problem when changing target in observation. Finding must be adopted, too. e.g. switch from GenericTarget to DeepSkyTarget must be possible when e.g. a catalog updates is available
· Fix problem: DeepSky Rating 99 (unknown) could not be set (in update and creation) via panel
· Multiple Star components show observations from Multiple Star observation now.
· Add selection option for constellation names language
· Add russian translation by Igor Dulevich
· Calculate brightness of night sky/fst value if not given
· Fix night vision bug: The right default look and feel theme is loaded now, when turning off the night vision mode
· Better filter (type and color) sorting
· Lenses with factor 1 are now simply called lens (not barlow neither focal reducer or sharply lens)
· Increase robustness of SkyChart extension. (DEC string malformed)
· Check on malformed entries on AngleContainer
· Add ukrainian translation
· Fix freezing of night vision mode on some OS/Java combinations
