------------------------------
11/26/97: limited alfa release
------------------------------
-------------
2/13/98: v1.0
-------------
-Fixed a bug in planets rotation direction
-Now use Yale Bright Stars catalog for stars positioning
-3dfx Accelerated point management is OK starting with the Voodoo driver
included in Mesa 2.6 distribution
-Runtime config options added
-Makefile for Microsoft Visual C++ included
-More accuracy
-On screen info added
-Orbits not in the same plane NOW
-Minor speed improvements
-Updated textures
--------------
2/15/98: v1.01
--------------
-Minor updates/bug fixes in Windows version
--------------
2/17/98: v1.02
--------------
-Linux "Core dumped bug" fixed
-------------
3/13/98: v1.1
-------------
-Code reorganization
-Updated and new textures
-New algorithm for planets positioning. You can view planets in a given date
(see README for accuracy details). Old Nbody algorithm is no longer supported
-A few satellites added (Moon, Io, Callisto, Ganymede, Europa, Titan)
-On screen help available
-New camera handling routines (see README for details)
-Minor updates/bug fixes
------------
5/2/98: v1.2
------------
-Updated textures (Mercury, Ganymede, Callisto, Europa, Titan, Saturn Rings)
-New satellites (Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Triton, Charon)
-New Sun and Saturn Rings look (alpha blending)
-Two new command line options, "-slices" and "-stacks" (see README for details)
-Windows Screen Saver version (see scrsaver/README in windows distribution)
-Fixed a bug in satellites positioning algorithm, orbits planes are OK now
-More realistic planets' radii
-Minor updates
-------------
7/26/98: v1.3
-------------
-Fixed a bug in "no lighting" mode
-Distant bodies labels
-Enhanced textures
-Mouse and Joystick support
-Command line option for FULL SCREEN mode (-fullscreen)
-New speed control method
-Minor updates
-------------
9/13/98: v1.4
-------------
-Fixed bugs in satellites positioning code
-Two new camera modes (Body to Body and Orbiter, see README for details)
-Great performance improvement, especially when running hardware accelerated.
(now SLICES and STACKS default to 20 instead of 12, but even with this
quality improvement program runs faster than ever)
-Earth, Moon, Mars and Jupiter high resolution textures (see hires/README)
-Real Time mode added
-New fullscreen modes under windows 95 (see README for details)
-Local time display in HUD
-------------
12/1/98: v1.5
-------------
-Smart texture handling (high-res maps on 3dfx cards, maps larger than texture
buffer and grayscale maps detection)
-Textures update
-Brighter Stars labels
-On the fly star brightness control
-FOV control
-More performance improvement (about 20%)
-Primitive framerate control (see command line options section in README)
-Configuration file. This will let you use your own elements, define new
bodies, easily add rings and initialize parameters (demo mode, local time,
detail level, data directory, ...).
-Current planet trail
-Ability to save screenshots
-A few accuracy bugs fixed
-------------
2/26/99: v1.6
-------------
-New Earth, Saturn, Io and Europa texture maps
-Atmosphere rendering ('a' toggles it on/off)
-Flattening support (at last!, Jupiter and Saturn look more realistic)
-Updated configuration file stuff (more readable and versatile, see ssystem.conf)
-Asteroids (just a few and with a pseudo-random shape)
-Deimos and Phobos (disabled by default, edit ssystem.conf to enable them)
-Stars color based on their spectral type
-Brighter stars are now textured objects
-Improved "Linked" camera mode
-New Sun texture (see sun section in ssystem.conf)
-New planet positioning algorithms (based on VSOP87 theory, see bodies section
in ssystem.conf)
-Improved trail support
-Updated linux joystick support (you'll NEED 1.x joystick driver)
-A nifty opening screen
-Code clean up
-The usual bunch of bug fixes
