Released 2013-08-04

New features: variable stars, re-packed star catalogs (Hipparcos and Tycho-2), improvements for plugins, scripting engine and search tool. New version of the Satellites plug-in (0.8.1) with features:

  • automatic adding of new satellites on update from selected update sources; by default, only new naked-eye satellites are auto-added
  • automatic removal of satellites if they are no longer listed in the update sources
  • "user-defined" flag protecting satellites from update/removal
  • satellites can be added to/removed from satellite groups from the GUI
  • custom satellite groups can be defined
  • the default satellite group names and satellite descriptions are translatable

A huge thanks to our community whose contributions help to make Stellarium better!
