Release notes

The Stellarium Team has released version 23.2.

The major changes of this version:

  • vectorizing the markers of deep-sky objects
  • updated the support of locations
  • added the discovery circumstances for solar system objects

Behind the scenes, many more minor issues were fixed.

TELESCOPE USERS

Like in the 1.* series, it seems the TelescopeControl plugin at least on Windows works better in the Qt5-based releases. Just install this if you are affected. We are looking for telescope users with programming skills to help us fixing this issue. Reward possible!
