Changelog

    Updated Unicode data for Unicode 14.0.0 data.
    Updated Emoji data for Emoji 14.0.
    For colour fonts (COLR/CPAL format only), polychromatic glyphs are now rendered in colour (NB colours are rendered using RGB values, and so the alpha component is not supported). Colour glyphs are automatically shown for single characters with colour definitions (typically emoji) in the following contexts: in the character grid, for the magnified character in the popup window (right-click on a cell in the character grid), for glyph copy (F6), in the export font glyphs utility, in the composite font mapping sample text, in the font analysis sample text, and for the font-provided sample text in the font information utility. Colour glyphs, including colour glyphs for emoji sequences and emoji ZWJ sequences, are optionally supported (on by default) for the display of the selected emoji in the emoji lookup utility (however complex emoji sequences which rely on contextual substitution and positioning are not rendered correctly as a single glyph). The edit buffer will also show colour glyphs when available in the font if "Simple Rendering" is checked (complex rendering uses the Uniscribe API which does not support polychromatic rendering). At present colour emoji sequences (e.g. country and regional flag emoji sequences, and emoji for complex family groupings) are not supported in the edit buffer in either simple or complex rendering mode.
    Added keyboard shortcut for opening the Font Information dialog (Ctrl+F7).
    Added Font Revision, Created, and Modified fields from the Head table to the Font Information dialog.
    Added button in the Font Information dialog which opens a separate dialog which lists all font tables in the font.
    Added button in the Font Information dialog which opens a separate dialog which lists all OpenType features defined in the font.
    Fixed -font command line parameter (was not automatically selecting the specified font).
    Fixed loading an uninstalled font from the command line (was installing the font but not automatically selecting it).
    Fixed bug when scrolling to end of a plane with ">>>" button or Ctrl+End if unassigned ranges are hidden.

KStars is an educational application that enables you to generate a sky map that features planets, stars, constellations as well as smaller astro-objects regardless of the location and time of day.

Changelog

    Google Summer of Code 2021:

    Let's start with the highly successful Google Summer of Code project: KStars Deep-Sky-Objects Overhaul by Valentin Boettcher. This is mostly backend plumping and refactoring to enable KStars to process very large DSO catalogs without impacting memory or processor utilization. This required the development of a new Python-based catalog generator that consolidates and de-duplicates deep sky catalogs in a form usable by KStars.
    The legacy system for handling DSO catalogs in KStars has grown rather organically and was a tangle between databases, CSV files and special case implementations. Many catalogs were hard-coded explicitly, making it hard to extend and generalize. Also, the sources of the catalogs and methods how they were transformed into the KStars format were inhomogeneous and hard to reproduce, making deduplication almost impossible.
    De-duplication is a process to identify when different designations are used to denote the same deep sky object. For example, the infamous Andromeda Galaxy is known as M31 in the Messier catalog, whereas in the NGC catalog, its designation is 224, and in the PGC catalog, it is 2557 and so forth. Previously, when each catalog was loaded separately in KStars, there was no way to know whether these designations were actually referring to the same physical object. This led to interesting side-effects as these designations were sometimes loaded as separate unique objects in KStars. This is where de-duplication comes into play, it prevents duplication of the same object even when it is exists in multiple catalogs with different designations.
    Another limitation for KStars deep sky catalog management is memory handling. KStars just loaded all the DSOs into memory and computed their position on the virtual sky for every draw cycle, which made all too large catalogs infeasible. Valentin task was to implement a unified catalog format which can be loaded into a central database and supports de-duplication. Furthermore, taking inspiration from the handling of star catalogs in KStars, the objects should be trixel indexed and cached in and out of memory (but only for large catalogs). Finally, it would be very desirable to make the creation/compilation of the catalogs reproducible and easily extendable to facilitate future maintenance.
    Valentine developed a new python framework to generate KStars catalogs from sources. To learn how to create new DSO catalogs for KStars, please checkout the documentation.
    While the above method is the recommended method to create highly efficient catalogs, you can still import DSOs using a basic CSV importer. This might be helpful to add a few DSOs of interest to some users.
    With the previous legacy catalogs, the DSO object colors were hard-coded in the catalog itself. Now you can customize the color of each catalog to get the best experience possible suited to your needs.

    Port Selector Tool:

    When creating a new Ekos Equipment profile, you will be presented with the Port Selector tool if any of your devices is a serial or networked device.
    Your equipment profile may contain one or more serial and/or network-enabled devices. Although INDI performs an auto-search when you connect to your serial devices, it's recommended to select the appropriate ports and baud rates before connecting for the first time.
    If a device is available on the network (WiFi or Ethernet), then you can configure the device host-name (or IP address) and port. It must be located on the same network where Ekos is running in order for them to communicate with each other. The port selector tool can be toggled at any time and not only during initial connection phase.

    Re-usable Widgets:

    Wolfgang Reissenberger implemented new reusable widgets to be used across Ekos. These widgets replace the legacy raster-based pixmaps that were used in the Summary screen to report progress in focus, capture, and guide modules. Not only this reduces the memory footprint of KStars, but it also present fully interactive widgets at native resolution.
    You can switch back and forth between the available widgets to select the desired information to display.

    Scheduler Artificial Horizon Restriction:

    Hy Murveit implemented a feature that was requested by our users for years: Artificial-Horizon -aware-scheduler!
    Users may define an artificial horizon zones where visibility is obstructed by natural or man-made structures. Furthermore, a terrain map can be superimposed to provide a 360 degree view of the horizon.
    Artificial Horizon constraints, when enabled via the standard artificial horizon UI, will now be used by the scheduler to start or interrupt jobs. That is, if there is an artificial horizon constraint at a given azimuth, it will be used by the scheduler, along with the standard altitude constraint to determine if a job can start or continue. The scheduler uses the max of the altitude constraints as the constraint to enforce.

    Ekos Internal Guider Improvements:

    Hy Murveit overhauled the Guider UI starting with simplifying the Guider Options Menu (GOM):
    Dither options used to be in GOM's Guider Tab. Now the GOM has a Dither tab for dither parameters.
    Moved the control parameters (e.g. DEC proportional gain = 133) to the GOM's Guide tab (where dither parameters used to be).
    Removed the Control sub-tab from the Guide page (the sub-tab next to "Drift Plot" and "Calibration Plot").
    Removed UI controls related to image guiding and rapid guiding
    Furthermore, The standard control algorithm now uses calibration information when computing pulses. The control gain parameter for RA and (a separate one for DEC) now go from 0 to 1.0. It multiplies the error and the calibrated arcsec_per_ms_pulse. (Similar adjustments were made to the optional integral_gain.)
    proportionalResponse = arcsecDrift * proportionalGain * arcsecPerMsPulse
    The Proportional Gain was renamed to the industry standard name of Aggressiveness. The guider's min-pulse and max-pulse (both in milliseconds) parameters were changed to Min Error and Max Response, both with units of arc-seconds instead of milliseconds of pulse. Hopefully more intuitive to users. The derivative gain control was dropped since it was never used in the code before.
    Users are highly recommended to revise their internal guider settings to achieve the best results.
