!=======================! ! Solar Maps v3 Updates ! !=======================! -- 04 Dec 2008 - Created v3.0.14 * Modified, the InstallShield installer for Solar Maps v3 was updated to a later version allowing users to now install a new copy of Solar Maps v3 onto a 64-bit Windows computer. Previously, Solar Maps v3 could only be installed on 32-bit Windows computers * Modified, ACS atlas files updated to the latest version * Fixed, when Solar Maps v3 was launched from its icon in standalone mode, on a computer that also had Solar Fire Gold installed, an error message popped up in Solar Maps v3 indicating that the Swiss Ephemeris files could not be found at a particular location. Now, no error message is displayed -- 01 Nov 2007 - Created v3.0.13 * Solar Fire v7 - now ensures compatibility with new folder location for the forthcoming Solar Fire v7. * Font glyphs for Pluto, Uranus and Capricorn - were previously fixed, but now automatically adopt the same settings as Solar Fire, if Solar Fire v5 or later is installed on the same computer. * If Swiss Ephem not found, then error message now shows folder in which it was expected to be found. * ACS Atlas - Built-in atlas files updated to 20071013 - Contains updates to New Zealand DST times and others. -- 19 Mar 2007 - Created v3.0.12 * Relocation - in some random cases choosing "Chart / Relocate to" failed to relocate it. Now fixed. * Help file - converted from WinHelp to HTML Help format to allow it to work on Windows Vista. -- 12 Feb 2007 - Created v3.0.11 * In Mundo/Zodiacal setting - now remembered between sessions. * Map Zoom - Occasional "Overflow" error occured after zooming in to maximum extent. Now fixed. * ACS Atlas - updated daylight savings timetables for Australia and Canada. -- 27 Nov 2006 - Created v3.0.10 * ACS Atlas - Built-in atlas files updated to data version 2.3 (20060331) - Contains corrections and additions to US city names and US time tables updated for changes from 2007 onwards. * ACS Atlas - replaced ACSAtlas.ocx with FindCity.dll. This eliminates problems arising from faulty versions of ACSAtlas.OCX which were sometimes installed by software from other companies. * ACS Lookup - no longers remembers last country if cityname only is entered. Instead, blank or invalid country name now forces a search through all countries/states. Also, if countryname is USA, then presents a list of US States in which requested cityname exists. * Geodetic Zodiac - added Geodetic West option to Chart / Zodiac menu item (and Shift +F2 shortcut). This allows quick toggling between all three zodiac types, and there is no longer any need to use Options / Zodiac menu item unless you wish to change the geodetic start longitude. * Track editing - added Place button to allow selection of a location from the atlas instead of having to manually enter latitude and longitude. -- 30 Jun 2005 - Created v3.0.9 * Point selection dialog - replaced "Default" button with "Save" and "Restore" buttons, and changed "OK" button to "Apply". Apply button applies current selection, but does not save it for future sessions. Save button saves current selection for future sessions. Restore button restores last saved selection. Special Behaviour - normally, when Solar Maps has been called from Solar Fire, it uses Solar Fire's current displayed points. However, clicking on the Save button now prompts user whether or not Solar Maps should save its selected points independently of Solar Fire. Choosing to do so then ensures that Solar Maps always uses its own set of selected points in future sessions - independently of Solar Fire. To revert to using Solar Fire's selected points, hold down the Ctrl key whilst clicking on the Restore button. This will prompt the user whether to revert to using Solar Fire's selected points in future sessions. * Charts with Whole Sign Houses (and some other less common house types) caused a subscript out of range error when viewing the chart wheel. Now fixed. -- 11 Jan 2005 - Created v3.0.8 * Solar Fire Deluxe compatability - added ability to work seemlessly with SFv6 chart file format, and to recognise correctly whether it has been invoked from within Solar Fire Deluxe or Solar Fire v5. * Selected points - default point selection is now independent of Solar Fire when run standalone. If invoked from within Solar Fire, then still uses Solar Fire's current point selection. * Eclispe data - covered smaller range of dates than was available. Now replaced with full version. -- 20 Aug 2003 - Created v3.0.7 * When selecting fixed star files with less stars than the previously selected star file, the originally selected stars beyond the number of newly selected stars were not being cleared. Now fixed. * Report text - if user selected stars from the 'brady.fst' star file, then the relocation report contained text for those stars, but did not provide attribution for the author. An attribution line has now been added. * "Overflow" error - When zooming in to maximum extent with many lines displayed, occasional "overflow" error occured. Now fixed. * Options / Mouse Mode - changed menu text from "Click for Relocation Report" to "Click for Interpretations & Relocation Report". -- 12 Feb 2003 - Created v3.0.6 * Subsidiary charts - the timezone entered by the user was being ignored (ie. as if set to +0:00 UT). Now fixed. -- 21 Jan 2003 - Created v3.0.5 * Geodetic eclipse charts - were being calculated for reference eclipse hour. Now calculated for exact time of lunation (longitudinal conjunction of sun and moon) instead. This could result in small differences in the position of the moon in the geodetic chart (up to about 1/2 degree). * Hint text after map zoom - pop-up hint text was being retained from last zoom map area even after change of mouse mode. Now fixed. -- 09 Dec 2002 - Created v3.0.4 * Aspect lines to Angles - Whilst aspect lines to MC/IC were correct, aspect lines to Asc/Dsc or Rise/Set were not calculated correctly. This has now been corrected. Aspect lines to Asc/Dsc now represent where that planet forms the exact longitudinal aspect to the chart's ascendant/descendant at that position (ie. planet's celestial latitude is ignored). When the *in mundo* optionis selected, the calculation is the same except that the planet's true celestial latitude is included. * After changing displayed line selection on screen, subsequent printout did not reflect changed line selection. Now fixed. * Chart Wheel and Local Horizon Wheel - font sizes were rather small. These sizes have now been increased for better legibility and aesthetic appeal. * Help file - several minor corrections made. -- 28 Nov 2002 - Created v3.0.3 * ACS Atlas embedded - if user has installed SMv3 into non- SFv5 directory, then when trying to use embedded atlas get message "Not Installed". Now fixed. * ACS Atlas radius search - if no places are found within specified radius, then error 380 occurs. Now fixed.
