User-visible changes in StarPlot 0.95.5:
----------------------------------------
New features:
* One can now select between several sets of distance units, including
the options to view distances in AU and miles or km at large scales.
* New button permits setting the chart to the orientation seen from Earth.
* Search algorithm now allows more precise selection of results (see docs).
* New dialog Stars -> Calculate Distance allows calculation of the distance
between two arbitrary coordinates.
Minor tweaks:
* Default help browser on Mac OS X is now /usr/bin/open so that system default
web browser is used to view documentation.
* Some speed optimization of starconvert program.
* Starconvert program now recognizes --add-sun and --no-add-sun flags.
* Starpkg script now understands --quiet / --verbose flags and can pass
an option to starconvert with --starconvert-option flag. (Use repeated
--starconvert-option flags to pass through more than one option.)
* Official desktop entry is available for xdg-compliant desktop environments.
Bug fixes:
* Now compiles with g++ version 4.3.
* More of the documentation is written.
* More accurate Euler angles used for transformation between coord. systems.
