Astronomy: First Developer Snapshot for Digital Almanac III
As was announced last week, the first developer snapshot for Digital Almanac III may be downloaded from its homepage (see title link). This update is a beta but it is fully usable! It provides a preview of a possible OS 4 version.
Because of the increased requirements this update may only be used by owners of the appropriate hardware and software (see the homepage for details).
The following features have arrived:
- Hertzsprung-Russel diagram.
- Renewed data banks for parallax data (distancing) and improved stellar information and online infos.
- Animations mode (save) are only still QuickTime or AVI. The animations frames are not shown to scale.
- Reworked toolbar icons from Martin "Mason" Merz.
- New GUI layout.
- Dynamic caching of stellar data, in order to build the cards quicker.
- "Low memory handler" for when memory runs out.
I'm asking each user of the update to send feedback!
