*** Fix v0.97a ***
Fix for "disabled" command-line switches. This fix makes sure that
switches like "-n" (for NOW chart) don't get cancelled by chart
buffers loaded from the INI file (automatically saved settings).
The sidereal adjustment setting no longer affects the calculations
unless the "Sidereal Zodiac" or "Jyotish houses" menu items have been selected. I don't know what I'm doing here, so please don't hesitate
to point out any errors that you find.
Other minor changes have been carried out as well, but nothing major,
so if you experience any problems it's most likely due to unforeseen
side effects of this fix.
*** Version 0.97 ***
1. Extended customization: The aspects and calculation settings
dialogs have been extended with user controls affecting things like
what aspects are included based on orb and sign, and how different
factors are weighed in the element mode summary.
2. The dispositor graphics display is no longer upside-down.
*** Fix v0.96a ***
This update contains a few fixes and small enhancements.
1. The new house system introduced in version 0.96 now uses the
properly calculated sidereal offset used for the sidereal zodiac.
This ancient Indian style of equal houses can now be combined
with the tropical zodiac to perhaps gain the best of the two
worlds.
A fix relevant to the OS/2 version found in Astrolog 5.40 has
been incorporated:
2. -YJ bug: The -YJ switch which allows changing what signs each
planet rules, wouldn't also update a reverse table which given a
sign indicates which planet rules it. This would cause -YJ to have
seemingly no effect on the sign list table, the influence chart,
and the dispositor graph.
A couple of small enhancements in Astrolog 5.40 for windows have been
implemented:
3. Improved glyphs: Astrolog now has higher resolution graphic glyphs
for sign symbols and house numbers. Before, some glyphs drawn at
the default 200% or medium scale and up would look slightly blocky.
Now, with a alternate "internal font" of double sized glyphs, the
medium ones are smooth to the nearest pixel like the small glyphs
are. The glyph for the Quintile aspect has also been improved.
4. Dialog extension: The sidereal zodiac degree adjustment field in
the Calculation Settings dialog has been fitted with a dropdown
making it possible to quickly select among several common systems
of sidereal astrology. The values in it are 0:00 for Fagan Bradley,
0:53 (0 degrees 53') for N.C. Lahiri, 0:59 (0 degrees 59') for
Krishnamurti, and 2:20 (or 2 degrees 20') for B.V. Raman.
A couple of additional changes specific to the OS/2 version:
5. The Julian day number is now displayed in the info side bar for
graphics charts.
6. Bugfix: The text for Lilith/South node becomes wrong if you switch
off and on ephemeris a couple of times. Not a big deal, but a bit
misleading and perhaps confusing.
7. The text mode credits display has been dropped (the OS/2 version
is a GUI application and has a more informative credits dialog).
*** Version 0.96 ***
1. An additional house system called Jyotish Houses. In this system
the first house always contains the Ascendant, but the Ascendant
is not necessarily the starting point of the first house.
2. Dwad positions similar to decan positions can be calculated and
shown by selecting "Show Dwads" from the settings menu.
3. Updated help file to contain OS/2 specific information. The new
house system has the number 14. The command-line switch for
calculating dwads is "-4".
4. All dialogs are now fully converted to Warp 4 meaning reduced
footprints and more aesthetic looks.
5. Defaults buttons in dialogs having them are now working.
6. Additional celebrity charts.
*** Fix v0.95a ***
Changes to the name of the current chart file is now immediately
reflected in the titlebar as well as in the persistent chart buffers.
Ephemeris display is no longer upside down. The chart collection has
been updated. A few new charts.
*** Version 0.95 ***
1. Displays, in the titlebar, the full file name associated with the
currently selected buffer.
2. Saves changes to object and aspect settings automatically.
3. Refined chart summary. Boosts the ruler (coruler if no primary
ruler has been assigned) of the Sun, Moon and rising signs. The
boost is calculated from the weights assigned to these three
indicators and is also dependent on the base weights assigned to
the boosted bodies.
4. A few ugly bugs in the new buffer system have been fixed.
5. If a house system is undefined for a chart a warning will be
displayed noting that the Equal House System will be used instead.
*** Version 0.94 ***
1. Comparison charts
2. Easy switching between four chart buffers (in other words four
charts can be opened simultaneously). Contents preserved between
runs.
3. A few settings dialogs have been refreshed and a new one added for
consistency.
4. Improved menu layout (including a new "comparison" pull-down menu)
5. More accelerators (F5 for standard chart and F10 for world map)
6. Relocation using the world map has been fixed.
7. New defaults for aspects.
*** Version 0.93 ***
1. Improved birth chart summary now taking house placement into
account and normalizing values so that 100 indicates "normal"
distribution. All values are relative to the internal average.
In order to compare different birth charts the value in
parenthesis must be multiplied with the grid value of interest.
2. Saves current chart info between runs. This includes current file
name (if there is any). Also loads filename when opening a
chart by double-clicking on it.
3. Minor cosmetics and plenty of additional sample charts.
*** Fix v0.92b ***
A few major and many minor fixes primarily on the graphics side. There
should no longer be any serious problems when having chart size
independent of window. This version has also been compressed for
Warp reducing the size of the executable by some 30%.
*** Fix v0.92a ***
Big text charts no longer any problem. Saving of text to file works
immediately.
*** Version 0.92 ***
Significantly improved performance on repaint including scrolling.
New functionality include:
1. Copying of select text to the clipboard.
2. OS/2 bitmap save (currently uncompressed!).
3. Standard OS/2 user profile (INI file) will eventually
eliminate the need for a separate config file.
4. Preserving size and position of main window between runs.
5. Most menu and dialog settings should get automatically saved on
exit (chart type, mode, calculation features, etc.). If you miss
something let me know!
Minor improvements and bug fixes include:
1. A couple of charts are no longer upside-down.
2. Caption (one-line text) in supported graphics charts.
3. Local time properly calculated (LT in drop-down list box).
4. Exaltation is considered in element/mode summary.
Many minor fixes as well.
Special note to Matrox users
Unfortunately this version also reveals bugs in the Matrox graphics
drivers leaving incomplete ellipses no matter how you twist and turn.
*** Fix v0.91a ***
Fix v0.91a provides almost working scrollbars in text charts.
*** Version 0.91 ***
This update can be passed a chart file as a command-line argument,
enabling direct opening of chart files if associated with the Astrolog
executable. In addition original command line parsing should now work
reasonably.
New functionality include:
1. Scribble (simple drawing using the mouse).
2. Help file opened in the System Editor via F1.
3. Astrolog for OS/2 can be associated with chart files.
Minor improvements and bug fixes include:
1. Time zone calculation working for western zones.
2. Complete command line argument parsing.
3. Improved appearance of the chart dialogs (WarpSans font).
4. Includes the Ascendent and MC as default.
5. Arrow keys can be used for scrolling.
6. Chart save uses the correct Astrolog time zone format.
And of course multiple minor bug fixes.
