-
- *** 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.
