@ -251,3 +251,36 @@ Code:
Code:
* Moved star browser and solar system browser code into separate modules
* Fixed DPRINTF macro so it's not broken in g++
1.1.3
* Added city light map for night side of Earth
* Specular reflections for Earth's oceans
* Haze effects for planets and moons with atmospheres
* Optimized star rendering--faster, uses substantially less memory
when many stars visible
* Changed minimum limiting magnitude from 8.0 to 12.0
* Support for nVidia vertex programs
* Eliminated 'seams' in normalization cube maps used for lighting
* View frustum culling of planets and nearby stars
* Fixed clipping that occurred when close to planets
* Fixed depth buffer precision problems (most apparent with spacecraft)
* Tidied up display of speed, distance, and star/planet statistics.
* Changed how modes work--goto won't break follow and sync follow modes
any more
* Fixed underlit planets on GL implementations without EXT_rescale_normal
* Type K, M, R, S, and N stars now cast a red tinted light on their planets
* New Earth texture
* Print less debugging spew on startup
* Integrated Colin Walters endianness fixes
* Windows version: info about max texture size and number of simultaneous
textures added to OpenGL Info dialog.
* New objects: Comet Borrelly, the giant Kuiper Belt object 2001 KX76,
and the Hubble Space Telescope
Code:
* Rewrote texture and model managers
* Cleaned up simulation.cpp to use frames of reference and eliminated a lot
of special case code for the different 'modes'
* Stopped using the Intel JPEG library on Windows; instead, the Independent
JPEG Group's library is now used on all platforms.

probably only M and maybe K class stars should have a noticeable hue
* Better and flashier star rendering: improve corona effects, add limb
darkening, change convection cell size based on spectral class, etc.
* Non-Lambertian illumination functions for planets
* Add haloes around bright planets similar to the ones around stars
