Comments:
I've updated the wiki, to briefly define what LST means, and to give a wikipedia link for those wanting more information. I'll do a more extensive wiki update if/when this version is promoted out of Testing.
Since Local Standard Time, Local Solar Time and Local Sidereal Time all share the same acronym, it would perhaps be helpful to mention it in the wiki help page, although I understand that for astronomers it must be obvious.
Anton - the LST is not the Local Standard time. It is the Local Sidereal Time, which is quite different. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_Time
I'm not sure it's due to the new version, but the displayed LST (if it stands for local standard time) is off by several hours for me.
Changes in version 3.2.3
New features:
Added many more star names, and added code to prevent star names from being printed over each other.
Added Bayer designations (Greek letter designations) for stars.
Added a page showing various astronomical times, such as local solar time, etc (this was a user request, it shows up under "Other Pages").
Added a page (under "Other PAges"showing the analemma for the currently selected year and hemisphere.
The starting times for each of the four seasons for the currently selected year and hemisphere are now shown on the "Sun and Moon" page.
The current phone position is pre-loaded into the latitude and longitude picker widgets. Similarly, the current UT is preloaded into the UT time picker widget (this was a user request).
Bug fixes:
Removed some unneeded calculations from the routine which plots the constellation stick figures.
The screen is no longer periodically updated when the app is minimized (does not have focus). This saves a little power.
