1. Interface changes:

Implemented a new algorithm for adjusting the chart and tables of the scene to different monitors;

The possibility of radial placement of objects on a dial has been implemented (menu «Settings/Chart” tab ” Chart elements/Dials”);

The menu icons are adapted to the dark theme;

The distribution of options in the settings windows for the chart, dials, and scene layout has become clearer and more logical. The dials menu and the context menu of the event pool have been redesigned in a similar way;

The main menu items “Auto-save Events” and “Auto-save Ref. Events” moved to the context menu of the event pool;

Fixed bugs related to layout editing;

2. Astrocartography:

The map has been replaced with a better one (starting with the next update and for macOS);

The coordinate grid is implemented;

The coordinate grid of the Sepharial is implemented. It is enabled in the context menu of the map;

The aspect lines to the corners are implemented. Aspects are selected from the context menu of the map “Advanced settings”;

Parans are implemented. They are included in the context menu of the map. In the astrocartography settings, there is a separate page for Parans, where you can choose: the intersection of which lines is taken into account for Parans, the range of latitudes in which calculations are performed, and configure the filter of Parans;

You can also display a list of Parans for a specific location, taking into account a certain orb. The list is also called from the context menu with the option “List of local Parans”;

Real-time display of mouse cursor coordinates is implemented. Coordinates are shown by pressing the left mouse button while simultaneously pressing Ctrl and Shift;

Now, when displaying on the map, you can use extra objects (you can use them in the context menu of the map). So, using this feature, you can output half-sums;

Thanks to the ability to use extra objects, you can now also use star lines;

Now new places can be added to the map directly from the Atlas. Option in the context menu of the map;

The display of eclipse lines has been implemented. From the context menu, select “Eclipses”, then select the necessary eclipse in the calculation block that appears, and select “Show on map” from the context menu. Any number of eclipses can be displayed on the map at the same time. To remove eclipse lines from the map, select “Remove Eclipse lines” from the context menu of the map.

Now the orb lines are displayed in the form of wider translucent lines. The Orb is configured in the map settings;

Minor bugs have been fixed;

3. Celestial Sphere (Windows only):

Improved graphics;

The relative size of the stars now depends on the magnitude parameter;

The ability to display coordinate grids is implemented;

An ecliptic projection has been added;

Minor bugs have been fixed;

4. A catalog of asteroids has been implemented with verification of the availability of appropriate ephemerides. To check for ephemeris files, you need to click the button next to the progress indicator, in this case asteroids for which there are no ephemeris files will be displayed in red font. If necessary, you can download additional ephemeris files. To do this, select the appropriate asteroids from the list of available ones, right-click on any of them and select “Download ephemerides” from the context menu;

This catalog can be used both to determine the location of asteroids and to create thematic sets of asteroids, and apply them, for example, in the calculation block “Asteroid conjunctions”;

Adding asteroids from the available table to the selected table can be done by dragging and dropping or using the context menu. Asteroids can be marked for addition in any order using the standard features of the operating system;

You can delete asteroids from the selected list by pressing Del or using the context menu of the list;

Sorting in tables is possible by any parameter, for this you need to click on the appropriate header;

5. Calculation block “Asteroid Conjunctions”. Now calculations are performed with selected sets of asteroids, while checking whether the necessary ephemeris files are present. If necessary, you can download ephemerides in the asteroid catalog;

It is also possible to select all asteroids that have ephemerides at the moment in the program;

Data export in text format is implemented (from the context menu);

6. Derivative houses are implemented, namely, the control element in the “Management” menu/Derivative Houses”, through which you can quickly select any cuspid as 1 house. A widget of the same name is also implemented, which can be added to the right control panel so that this feature is always at hand.

7. Time Dynamics control tool – sliders now work in both directions without restrictions. Added information about the day of the week;

8. The “Window of arc resonances” has been implemented. It is recommended for practitioners of axial and Uranian astrology. You can select it from the context menu “Windows of planetary paintings”. When clicking on any dynamic object, this window will show the coverage of this object in full arc, half arc and double arc. At the same time, the additional axes of the Pointer automatically adjust to the arc between this object and the natal one of the same name;

The windows of planetary paintings and arc resonances can be quickly replaced by each other by selecting the appropriate option from the context menu;

9. An option has been added to the extra objects widget that allows you to quickly enable and disable extra objects. Duplicates the F5 hotkey.

10. Calculation of sub-periods of solar revolutions has been added to the “Solar Information”. Fixed calculation of periods.

11. In addition to the location of the houses counterclockwise, a clockwise option is now possible, and accordingly, the zodiac dial will change direction. The option is located in the chart settings;

12. In the Event Editor, you can now apply changes using the Ctrl+Enter hotkey combination;

13. Progressive cusps can now be used in Aspect Graphs.

14. If a disproportionate style of houses is chosen, then proportional sectors of zodiac signs will be displayed on the zodiac belt;

15. The day of the week is now displayed in the data output of the “Dial Data” scene table;

16. Information about the lunar day has been added to the table of the scene “Rulers of the Day and Hour”. Therefore, this table has been renamed to “Day and Hour”. From the context menu, you can select the algorithm for calculating lunar days;

17. The “Graphical Ephemerides” implements a context menu in the object selection area. As long as there is one “Deselect” option, all the ticks will be removed from the selected objects;

18. The context menu has been improved in the object operational settings window (the “Objects” dial menu): the menu itself has been slightly redesigned, options for selecting and aspecting only septener planets have been added, and the ability to restore the original settings has also been added;

19. In the calculation block “Coordinates II”, a filter has been added that allows you to exclude all cusps from the calculations of the table, except for I and X. The filter is turned on/off from the context menu;

20. The calculation block of the “Chain of planets” has an option that allows you to take into account only the planets of the separator. Switches in the context menu.

21. Updated Atlas and time zones;

22. Minor bugs have been fixed.
