starplot (0.95.5) - 15 May 2008
* The "Now in SVN -- what took you so long?" release.
* src/gui/filedialogs.cc, src/gui/infodialogs.cc, src/gui/menuops.cc,
src/classes/strings.cc: Minor changes to compile with g++ 4.3.
Thanks Francisco García <franciscomanuel.garcia@hispalinux.es>
and Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray <debarshi.ray@gmail.com>.
* README, configure.ac, doc/Makefile.am, lib/gettext.h, src/Makefile.am,
src/convert/starpkg.in: Updates needed for newer autotools.
* Makefile.am, autogen.sh: Add a script to regenerate autotools
files from scratch. (Files generated by autotools are not being
maintained in version control, though they will of course be
distributed in official release tarballs.)
* configure.ac: Set help/web browser to "/usr/bin/open" on Mac OS X
by default.
* doc/Makefile.am, doc/html: Write chapters 0 and 2 of documentation.
* src/gui/starplot.h: If BROWSER is not #defined, do NOT define it
to be an empty string.
* src/gui/menuops.cc, src/gui/xpmdata.h: Add new button to set
the chart orientation as seen from Earth.
* src/classes/strings.h, src/classes/mathdefs.h,
src/classes/stararray.cc, src/classes/strings.cc: Show the chart
radius in units of AU or km/mi when it covers a very small volume
of space.
* src/classes/star.h, src/classes/stararray.{h,cc},
src/classes/strings.{h,cc}, src/gui/chartdialogs.cc,
src/gui/filedialogs.cc, src/gui/infodialogs.cc,
src/gui/menu.h, src/gui/menuops.cc, src/gui/starplot.h:
Allow the distance units to be user-settable, and consistently
use the user-requested units in the GUI.
* src/gui/chartdialogs.cc, src/gui/infodialogs.cc, src/gui/menu.h,
src/gui/starplot.h: Add a dialog to calculate the distance
between any two arbitrary positions in space. Thanks to Bryan
Brake <brakeb@gmail.com> for the idea.
* src/classes/stararray.cc, src/gui/chartdialogs.cc: Improve
star search function in various ways.
* src/classes/strings.cc, src/classes/vector3.h,
src/gui/chartdialogs.cc, src/gui/filedialogs.cc,
src/gui/hrdiagram.cc, src/gui/infodialogs.cc, src/gui/menuops.cc,
src/convert/names.cc, src/convert/convert.cc, src/convert/convert.h:
Very minor code clean-ups and changes.
* src/classes/vector3.h: More accurate conversion to Galactic
coordinates taken from appendix of
http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/424960 .
* src/convert/starpkg.in, doc/man/starpkg.man: Add --quiet / --verbose
and --starconvert-option flags to the starpkg script.
* src/convert/convert.cc, doc/man/starconvert.man: Add --{no-,}add-sun
options to the starconvert program.
* src/convert/names.cc, src/convert/parse.cc, src/classes/strings.h:
Optimize starconvert for speed by reducing number of times we
convert strings to uppercase.
* starplot.desktop, src/Makefile.am, Makefile.am: Add starplot
desktop entry; install it and starplot32x32.xpm. Thanks to
Marco Rodrigues <gothicx@sapo.pt>.
* INSTALL: Note that a truetype font including Greek letters is
required.
* starplot.spec.in: No longer distribute an RPM spec file, since the
program is available directly from Fedora.
starplot (0.95.4) - 2 February 2007
* The Groundhog Day "Early Spring Cleanup" release.
* src/Makefile.am: Put all libraries in *_LDADD rather than in
*_LDFLAGS. Evidently *_LDFLAGS is really only for flags, not
for libraries. This corrects an error that caused compilation
failures when libintl or libiconv were static libraries.
* doc/Makefile.am: Write explicit Makefile rules for generating the
man pages; it seems that BSD make doesn't have as many pattern
substitution skills as GNU make. Thanks to Bryan Brake
<brakeb@gmail.com> for discovering the build bugs that require
this fix and the above one.
* src/convert/starpkg.in: Make starpkg call itself as "$0", and call
starconvert as "$(dirname $0)/starconvert" when starconvert isn't
in $PATH. Thanks to Rachel Kronick <rachel_kronick@jiawen.net>
for pointing out the need for this.
* lib/dummy.c, lib/Makefile.am: Create a do-nothing dummy function
to ensure that libcompat.a is never empty (which some versions of
ar complain about).
* src/gui/filedialogs.cc, src/gui/infodialogs.cc: Fix "missing
sentinel in function call" warnings by replacing "0" with
"NULL" at ends of varargs functions.
* config.guess, config.sub: Update to 2006.09.20 CVS versions.
* README, src/gui/menuops.cc: Update copyright years.
starplot (0.95.3) - 9 September 2005
* po/es.po: Updated Spanish translation with submission from Javier
Fernández-Sanguino Peña. Fixed small bug in translation that
caused segfault when opening HR diagram window.
Bug was a result of fragile code in menuops.cc that duplicates menu
entries from menu.h -- this will be reworked in version 0.96.
* src/convert/names.cc: Modified to accept odd format used in
Hipparcos data file for Durchmusterung catalog entries.
* src/gui/infodialogs.cc: Small fix to prevent compilation failure
on 64-bit architectures with gcc 4. Thanks to Andreas Jochens
<aj@andaco.de>.
starplot (0.95.2) - 27 December 2004
* src/*: Prefix enum types with "star_" to avert name clash on BSD.
starplot (0.95.1) - 9 December 2004
* doc/Makefile.am: Prefix created dirs with $(DESTDIR).
* configure.ac, src/Makefile.am: Tweaks to use AM_PATH_GTK_2_0.
* Fixes for old compilers and GTK+ 2 versions follow:
* configure.ac, src/gui/infodialogs.cc: Test for and fallback in case
of early GTK+ 2.x with no GtkExpander widget.
* lib/compat.h: Remove unneeded declarations of strstr, strcasecmp,
strncasecmp. #undef isalpha if it is a macro.
* src/classes/strings.cc: Add missing "#include <cstdio>".
* src/classes/stararray.h: Use "#include <iostream>" instead of
<istream> and <ostream>.
starplot (0.95) - 30 August 2004
* Prepare starplot for l10n with gettextize, xgettext et al.
* Stop using deprecated GtkCList for informational dialogs, and
move to use of GtkTreeView and GtkListStore instead. This permits
nice features like sortable columns.
* Write special sorting functions so that "declination" and
"spectral class" columns can be sorted in the way one would expect.
* Display Greek letters in star names in info dialogs.
* Display all star names in right-click popup dialog (hidden by
default in a GtkExpander).
* Real error message popup windows when bad things happen.
* Fix "File->Save as PNG" menu functionality.
* Add "Chart->Star Filter" option to show/hide companion stars in
multiple systems; save setting to ~/.starplotrc file.
* Add "Help->StarPlot Web Page" menu item.
* Fix incorrect size of star icon with "Options->Star Diameters->By
MK Class" setting when MK class is unknown.
* Fix apparent bug that arose in File->Merge infrastructure.
* Add --with-webbrowser=PROGRAM argument to ./configure to allow
selection of help document viewer at compile time instead of runtime.
* XHTML-ify existing documentation. (I will finish writing it
before version 1.0, really.)
* starconvert: Implement rudimentary detection of multiple stars.
* starconvert: Allow to specify the priority into which a name in a
substitution rule is inserted.
* starpkg: POSIX-compliance fixes for starpkg shell script.
* No longer distribute a "debian" directory, since the program is
available directly from Debian.
starplot (0.94.1) - 30 June 2003
* Fix random color-changing bug on Mac OS X.
starplot (0.94) - 26 June 2003
* Use autoproject to put source tree into a more standard format,
and automake/autoconfiscate everything.
* Start the process of fully STL-izing the src/classes source code
(i.e. replace char * with std::string, etc.)
* Move to GTK+ version 2.x.
* Use GTK+ stock buttons to make dialog appearance consistent.
* Move to Pango for drawing text on the canvas (Greek letters are now
drawn using system fonts rather than bitmaps).
* Use UTF-8 rather than Latin-1 encoding for degree symbol
* Add font selection dialog and write selection to .starplotrc file.
* Change starpkg script to be less strict on location of *.spec and
catalog.dat files within a data set
* Bugfix - Stars->Chart Data dialog now displays the correct heading
for position columns ("Right Ascension" vs. "Gal. Longitude", etc.)
after switching coordinate systems.
* Bugfix - corrected value for d{M_v}/d{subclass} for class B
main sequence stars (was 0.34, corrected to 0.46)
starplot (0.93) - 17 November 2002
* New shell script, "starpkg", makes it easier to keep data sets
updated.
* Removed (most) Makefile options to change binary names; it was getting
messy and difficult to keep track of.
starplot (0.92.3) - 6 December 2001
* Will now display and search on full constellation names of stars,
e.g. "Alpha Centauri", even though still stored in data files as
abbreviations ("Alpha Cen")
* Added ability to toggle filtering on each spectral class by
clicking on chart legend
* A couple small fixes to make it compile with icc, Intel's C++
compiler
* Cosmetic edits of Makefile and debian scripts
starplot (0.92.2) - 23 September 2001
* Fixed to compile with g++ version 3.0 as well as 2.95.x and 2.91.66
* Added missing makefile dependency upon classes/viewer.h
* Anti-aliased stars for nicer look
starplot (0.92.1) - 18 June 2001
* Bugfix to deal with conflicts between StringList member function
names and toupper, tolower functions (which may be macros)
* Should now compile with egcs 1.1.2 (= g++ 2.91.66)
starplot (0.92) - 23 May 2001
* Added ability to read/write a ~/.starplotrc file saving the user's
display and chart settings
* Added File menu options to read/write "parameter files" with the same
format as the RC file
* Added menu option to select a web browser for use in reading docs
* Added menu option to browse help documentation
* Improved search function (for substring match, it now tries to
match all space-separated tokens in search string)
* Rewrote code dealing with "Rules" struct (program settings) and
entries in Options menu for ANSI C++ compliance
* Worked around bug in recent GTK versions which causes text labels
containing extended ASCII characters not to be displayed
* Separated stararray display code into several functions
* Reorganized installation section of Makefile
* Merged Debian control and package-build information into source tree
* Worked on compliance with Debian Policy Manual
starplot (0.91.2) - 31 January 2001
* Yet another fix for Flamsteed numbers in starconvert. I swear
this is the last one.
* Announced on FreshMeat February 14, 2001.
starplot (0.91.1) - 30 January 2001
* Fix for starconvert Flamsteed number bug in previous release had
bugs itself; these have now been fixed also (I hope).
starplot (0.91) - 28 January 2001
* Added minimalist "About StarPlot" dialog
* Added File->Merge dialog allowing the user to view more than one
file at once from the GUI
* Added the option to view only names of "landmark" stars on the chart
and set it as the default
* Added the option to set star icon size based either on MK class
or on absolute magnitude
* Attached submenus to the Options menu to prevent it from getting
too cluttered
* Fixed synch of radio buttons between Options menus in main window
and HR diagram window
* Added scaling dialog for magnitude axis of HR diagram window
* All the dialogs available from Stars menu now behave like HR window
(only one instance of each open at a time, automatic updating, etc.)
* Chart status data on the display turns red if invalid (e.g. chart
radius < 0)
* Fixed several bugs relating to charts at extremely high
magnifications (chart radius < 50 stellar radii)
* starconvert now recognizes "SD" as a valid Durchmusterung prefix
(in addition to BD, CD and CP)
* Fixed a bug in starconvert which occasionally caused bizarre
Flamsteed numbers to be produced
* More code tidying
starplot (0.90) - 14 January 2001
* There is now a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram pop-up window!
* Implemented star search dialog box. You can also now center the
chart origin at a particular star without knowing its coordinates
beforehand.
* Added a "feature" to prevent more than 20000 stars from being
loaded into memory at once, to avoid accidentally DOS'ing oneself
* Changed the appearance of the chart dialog boxes slightly
* Changed a few accelerator keys (Control+<key>) for the menu bar
* Fixed a bug in DecStringsToRadians function which caused sign errors
for some stars with a declination between 0 deg and 1 deg south
* Various random code tidying up
starplot (0.86) - 11 January 2001
* Added fast star filtering code and used different input functions
in the StarArray::Read loop in classes/stararray.cc. This improves
StarPlot's file loading speed by a factor of 5 or more with large
files. I can now check out a 19-megabyte database in about 8 seconds
on my Pentium 233.
* Minor changes to Makefiles and gui/filedialogs.cc to allow for easier
Debianization of StarPlot.
starplot (0.85.1) - 13 November 2000
* Edited convert/parse.h to put structs in a more C++-like format.
This should fix the starconvert segfaults observed on some systems.
starplot (0.85) - 12 November 2000
* Initial alpha release.
