v0.6.3
Performance & memory
A performance-focused release — no behaviour changes, just faster and lighter.
- Faster RAW thumbnails — camera-RAW folders (NEF / CR2 / …) generate thumbnails ~1.8× faster and use a quarter of the memory (half-resolution decode, invisible at thumbnail size).
- Snappier inspection overlays — star markers / tilt / aberration now reuse the analysis already computed when the frame loads, instead of re-scanning the whole image a second time.
- Lower memory at load — the FITS loader no longer holds duplicate copies of each colour plane; big drop in peak RAM on large OSC frames.
- Under the hood — hoisted redundant work out of the star-detection and PSF-plate hot loops.
Every output (star counts, HFR, rendering) is byte-for-byte identical to v0.6.2 — this is pure speed/memory.
Install: download WinStellarSetup-0.6.3.exe below and run it. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run (the installer is not yet code-signed).
