-Fixed orbits for some systems
-Minor fixes and updates (e.g. add missing parameters)
- Andrew Tribick's version 1.0.3; now has 2,499,574 stars
- remove now unnecessary entries from revised.stc
- add TYC star names to starnames.dat (LukeCEL)
- nearstars.stc updated w/ Tycho identifiers (LukeCEL)

- Add some oblate stars to revised.stc
- Some fixes in nearstars.stc and visualbins.stc
(co-author: LukeCEL)
Changes include:
- Fixed orbit orientations so they match radial velocity data
- Updated orbits for a few systems
- Fixed coordinates and names for a few stars
- add back Temperature and BoloCorrection for the Sun
- fix some names and add Scholz's Star name
- fix 40 Eri for compatibility with the exoplanet catalog
Fixed:
- G 141-36 standardized to Giclas 141-36
- Mass ratios with Jupiter masses now mark both with a J to prevent confusion
- Remove extraneous parenthesis from 2001 KX76
Changes include:
- Updated distances for most stars, mostly Gaia DR2
- Updated parameters, generally from SIMBAD or individual sources
- New orbital elements for many star systems
- Includes spectral type Y, not included in Celestia 1.6.1
- Changed Gliese/GJ naming scheme: 1 to 999 is Gliese; 1000 above is GJ
- Removed star systems that are known to not be within 25 ly
- Removed remaining textures
The file still retains the overall structure, as well as part of the heading.
