Stellarium 0.10.2, Universal
2008-03-10

This is the release build of Stellarium 0.10.2.

INSTALLATION

1. You need to be running Macosx 10.3.9 or later, but not 10.4.7.  Drag the Stellarium.app icon from this .dmg window to your mac, and double click on it there to run it.

This build has been shown to run on:
	- a PPC Mac Mini running 10.3.9
	- a PPC ibook running 10.4.11
	- an Intel MacBook running 10.4.11
	- an Intel MacBookPro running 10.5.6

2. You don't need anything else for this build, it is all bundled inside.

ADDITIONAL STARS

There are four star catalogs included with the build, and additional star catalogs available from the Stellarium website, the "Extra-data-files" package.  Each star catalog file listed there you wish to add to the stars available can be placed in:

	~/Library/Preferences/Stellarium/stars/default

Up to catalog 6 has been tested on a PPC iBook with 750mb RAM, and there was something of a performance hit.  The more RAM and the faster processor you have, the more stars catalogs you will be able to load.

KNOWN ISSUES

I notice that the PPC build is noticeably slower.  I'm uncertain what this is due to, but I often cant get above 30 FPS on the PPC side.  100 FPS on the intel side is normal.  I welcome ideas.

DETAILS OF THE BUILD

This build was made with the CMake system on a PPC and an i386 host, and then lipo-ing the resulting binaries together.  

It uses Qt 4.5.0.

Thanks to all who contributed to this build!
