Changes

VersionChangesAuthorDate
3.4.0-1* Added a new page, "Planet Elevations", which displays the elevation

   of the Sun, Moon and planets as a function of UT and LST

* Added a new "Planet Phenomena" page, which shows the time of

   conjunction, opposition, greatest elongation, etc for each planet.

* Added code to cause the app to detect when the window manager has

   shrunk it, and it has lost focus. When that happens, it now

   displays the phase of the Moon, along with the UT and LST in

   very large (78 point!) font, so that they remain legible on

   the shrunken display.

* Added the Sun and Moon to the planet compass page.

* Fixed a bug which caused the Sun and Moon rise/set times to occasionally

   be in error by a couple of minutes.

* Changed the color scheme on the Planet Compass page

* Added likely() unlikely() macros which are called in the coordinate

   conversion functions, to give the compiler optimization hints.

   Also flagged the error exit points unlikely(). The executable

   code got smaller after this.

I had only one entry in the private location menu anyway (if I remember correctly). Before upgrading orrery I had whatever version was in testing before.

Anton - sorry your location file disappeared. That's obviously a bug. Do you happen to know what version of the program you were running before you upgraded to this version? I might be able to locate the bug if I knew that. Thanks for testing my program!

Great job! Thanks a lot! A minor problem is that my private location menu disappeared after the upgrade.
