+
+-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
+-------------

+-------------
+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)
