v0.6.5
Performance & robustness
The inspection tools no longer freeze the window while they compute.
- No more UI freeze on the Aberration & Background inspectors — the PSF plate (star detection + moments) and the background/illumination map now compute on a background thread instead of blocking the UI. Opening them on a large frame, changing the grid, or stepping through files stays fully responsive; the result appears when it's ready.
- Instant rotation carries over from v0.6.4 — rotating with an inspector open re-projects the cached result with no recompute.
- Sturdier against bad files — added a robustness test suite (malformed / truncated / garbage inputs must fail cleanly, never crash the Explorer thumbnail/preview handlers).
- Verifiable downloads — each release now ships a
SHA256SUMS.txtso you can check the installer's integrity (sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt).
Measurements (star counts, HFR, background metrics, rendering) are unchanged from v0.6.4.
Install: download WinStellarSetup-0.6.5.exe below and run it. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run (the installer is not yet code-signed). You can verify the download against SHA256SUMS.txt.
