Comments:
Marvellous! I'd just like to repeat a minor wishlist item: in the Change Location menu, would it be difficult to have the present coordinates displayed as default values for the Custom menu? This way one could quickly check one's coordinates.
The main complaint users have made about this program is that the fonts were too small and nearly unreadable. This version's major change is to use larger fonts with Pango/Cairo for rotation and antialiasing. I think it is more attractive now. Some fonts are still small, but where possible they enlarge when the display is zoomed. Also, the positions of the Sun and Moon are now shown on the azimuth compass. Several bugs (none in bugzilla) were fixed.
