New Ubuntu package for release 8.0.1 available (Oct 24 2020)
The Debian/Ubuntu packages were outdated an did not work anymore on current Ubuntu 20 and derivates.
See the Download page for the release package and the updated package list for manual compilation with configure.
Stable version 8.0.1 released (Oct 03 2017)
Bug fixes
Transit View: the time input field didn't work properly. Time had sometimes a difference of 12 hours after entering the data.
Workaround: enter time first and then date.
Uranian View/yearly preview: event date of pair events (p1=p2) was not okay. Date was calculated from the end of the year
instead of beginning. Did not affect triple events: midpoints, reflection points, sums, differences.
Page header in printouts, multipage printouts (Vedic comprehensive) did not reflect the horoscope data (name, date etc.).
A new chart was used instead. Calculations in printout were correct nevertheless.
Changes
Windows and Mac OS X: wxWidgets upgraded to version 3.0.3.
Known Bugs
Debian/Ubuntu Linux: problems with text/date/time input fields. Key navigation and enter/tab not possible. Seems to be
a wxWidgets/GTK problem. Workaround: double click the entry and enter data when field is marked.
OS X: remark field in birth data input dialog cannot be focussed with mouse click.
Focus can be set with tab instead (seems to be a wxWidgets bug).
Stable version 8.0 released (June 24 2017)
