Patrick Chevalley announced today a new alpha release of the ongoing SkyChart 3 series, for Windows and Linux...
According to the author, the new version adds the following:
«The default database is now SQLite to simplify the installation process. A personal database is now automatically created the first time the program is run. MySQL is still available if needed.
Added the Calendar menu similar to the 2.76 one, with more functions for the comets and asteroids.
Added a display bar to quickly show or hide given objects from the chart. Completed the menu with all the available functions.
In the configuration menu you can set the nebulae color and preview the background picture.
Now it uses Xplanet (xplanet.sourceforge.net) to display the planet image on Linux.
Plus a lot of bug fixes the previous version was filled with.»
