[alexwolf]

List of changes between version 0.13.3 and HEAD (0.13.65.0):

- Added accurate calculations of the ecliptic obliquity. Finally we have good precession! (LP: #512086, #1126981, #1240070, #1282558, #1444323)

- Added calculations of the nutation. Now we optionally have IAU-2000B nutation. (Applied between 1500..2500 only.)

- Added Iridium flares to Satellites plugin (LP: #1106782)

- Added list of interesting double stars in Search Tool

- Added list of interesting variable stars in Search Tool

- Added cross-identification data for HIP stars (SAO and HD numbers)

- Added sinusoidal projection

- Added draw DSO symbols with different colors

- Added labels to the landscapes (gazetteer support)

- Added a new behaviour for drawing of orbit for selected planet - drawing of the orbits of 'hierarchical group' (parent and all their childrens) of the selected celestial body (disabled by default).

- Added an option to lower the horizon, e.g. for a widescreen cylindrical view with mostly sky and ground on lower screen border (LP: #1299063).

- Added various timeshift-by-year commands (LP: #1478670)

- Added Moon's phases info

- Rewriting the Meteor module and the Meteor Showers plugin (LP: #1471143)

- Updated skycultures

- Updated Hungarian and Brazilian Portuguese translations of landscapes and skycultures

- Updated data for Solar System Observer

- Updated color scheme for constellations

- Updated documentation

- Updated QZip stuff

- Updated TUI plugin

- Updated data for Satellites plugin

- Updated Clang support

- Updated Pluto texture

- Using a better formula for CCD FOV calculation in Oculars plugin (LP: #1440330)

- Fixed shortkeys conflict (New shortkeys for Scenery 3D plugin - LP: #1449767)

- Fixed aliasing issue with GCC in star data unpacking

- Fixed documentation for core.wait() function (LP: #1450870)

- Fixed perspective projection issue (LP: #724868)

- Fixed crash on activation of AngleMeasure in debug mode (LP: #1455839)

- Fixed issue for update bottom bar position when we toggle the GUI (LP: #1409023)

- Fixed weird view of the Moon in Oculars plugin when Moon's scaling is enabled

- Fixed non-realistic mode drawing of artificial satellites

- Fixed availability plugins for the scripting engine (LP: #1468986)

- Fixed potention memory bug in Meteor class

- Change visibleSkyArea limitation to allow landscapes with "holes" in the ground. (LP: #1469407)

- Improved Delta T feature (LP: #1380242)

- Improved the ad-hoc visibility formula for LDN and LBN

- Improved the sight opportunities when artificial satellites are passes (LP: #907318)

- Changed behaviour of coloring of orbits of artificial satellites: we use gray color for parts of orbits, where satellite will be invisible (LP: #914751)

- Improved coloring and rendering artificial satellites (include their labels) in the Earth shadow for both modes (LP: #1436954)

- Improved for landscape and lightscape brightness with/without atmosphere. Now even considers landscape opacity for no-atmosphere conditions.

- Reduce Milky Way brightness in moonlight

To remove vdb or lhd from stellarium on a mac. Open finder and the open applications. right click on stellarium and choose open package contents. open data and open resources. Open nebulae and look for the vdb file etc right click and rename. Just add an x or something and its gone. if you ever need it just rename and remove the x.  BINGO
