SVN commit 756316 by harris:

Use the real instantaneous earth-sun separation, rather than 1.0 AU,
when computing the phase of a solar system body in
KSPlanetBase::findMagnitude().  Amazingly, this small fix can have a
huge impact on the final magnitude.  As an asteroid moves near the Sun
in the sky, its magnitude suddenly would get set to 0.0, so the Sun
looked like it had a "cloud" of asteeroids around it (if you used a
magnitude limit for asteroids in the options).  This fix removes the
cloud of asteroids.

SVN commit 757384 by mutlaqja:

The INDI network backend was migrated to fully use Qt, this along with changes in the INDI parser led to
orders of magnitudes improvement in processing and constructing on the fly devices. Binary BLOBs gained
the most advantage, loading an average FITs file from the CCD now takes 20% of what is used to take. 

It is now possible to start multiple devices managed by one INDI server vs the one-device-one-server
behavior before. This model has also resulted in unifying server and local devices with remote devices
and that in turn greatly simplified the code. Now that this is the 4.1 branch, there is quite a bit of
refactoring to improve consistency.

kstars conflicts with indilib

Hi,

When building with indi support kstars installs $prefix/bin/indiserver which conflicts with indilib's
indiserver. 

I'm not sure what the solution for this problem may be.. Probably renaming kstars one ?

Best Regards,

Gabriel

It depends whether you're using KStars as you're primary client or not. If you 
are, then simply install indilib with the $prefix being that of KDE 
(e.g. /opt/kde3). But if you're using indilib with another client, then you 
can simply delete KStars's indiserver.

I use 4.1 trunk and right now kstars is the only client , both being installed with the same prefix /usr .. 

However in theory users could use any other client with indilib so that is still an problem ( for distro
packages ).

I've solved local ( even is wrong I know ) by installing kstars indiserver to ${LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR}.

This is a packaging issue, and some users at times suffer odd problems because 
two version of INDI are installed. I've been considering making INDI an 
independent package for a while, and I'll see if this is possible by 4.1

Re: kstars conflicts with indilib

Hi

Alteast in Debian, KStars is packaged so that it removes indilib on installation.

Not sure if I'm talking sense, though.
