Stellarium 1.0 is here!
Published on October 1, 2022 by Georg Zotti

The Stellarium team did it. Stellarium 1.0 is here! 

What makes this 1.0? 

  • After more than 20 years of development the program is finally accurate enough for historical application.
  • This is the first release based on the Qt6 framework, so the project is safe for future development. These packages are tagged with a version number like 1.22.3.
  • We keep releasing Qt5-based packages for legacy or obsolete systems. This may include many Windows users who have to run ANGLE mode. These packages are tagged with a version number like 0.22.3.

What is new for users?

  • A new, much better skylight model (Not for MacOS and OpenGL ES2 systems, sorry.)
  • Many details around eclipses
  • Updated Observation List features
  • New features in AstroCalc tool
  • HiDPI improvements
  • Better dithering
  • Able to use Windows location service (Windows)
  • New skyculture: Samoan
  • Updated several skycultures
  • Updates in Angle Measure, Satellites, Oculars, Remote Control, Pulsars plugins
  • Many more bugfixes.

A huge thanks to the people who helped us a lot by reporting bugs, and especially contributed in development!

Also a huge thanks to our sponsors on OpenCollective!
 
Clear Skies!
