Reliability & hardening

A maintenance release focused on robustness — mostly under-the-hood fixes to how WinStellar parses files, which matters because the thumbnail / preview / column handlers run in-process inside Windows Explorer.

  • No more Explorer crashes on bad files — malformed, truncated or hostile FITS / XISF / RAW files are now handled gracefully instead of taking down the Explorer window.
  • Metadata columns for large FITS — Object, Exposure, dimensions and the other columns now populate for FITS frames larger than 32 MB (common on modern high-resolution CMOS sensors). HFR / Stars stay instant for frames up to 32 MB.
  • Large files open — FITS / XISF ≥ 2 GB (stacked masters, big mosaics) no longer fail to open.
  • Under the hood — hardened image-dimension and integer-overflow checks in the loaders, a stronger analysis-cache key, a fix for unbounded SQLite WAL growth, and a shell-extension lifetime fix.
  • Project hygiene — added a security policy (SECURITY.md), Dependabot, and least-privilege / SHA-pinned CI.

Install: download WinStellarSetup-0.6.2.exe below and run it. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run (the installer is not yet code-signed).
