1.0.0

The first release.

Three steps and one document between them: the first pass measures a clip and
writes alignment.json, the window corrects the frames the detector got wrong,
and moving the pixels is a separate, deliberate step. The originals are never
written over.

• Reads EXR, DNG, Nikon NEF, Canon CR2/CR3 and JPEG, and writes each back in
  its own format. A camera raw comes out as DNG.
• Shifts a mosaic one Bayer sub-plane at a time, so a DNG stays a legal CFA
  file with its metadata intact.
• Three detection methods: two disc estimators, circle and ellipse, and phase
  correlation for frames with no disc in them.
• The document records one size per clip, and the moon as an offset from the
  alignment rather than in absolute pixels, so the two can be edited in either
  order and land in the same place.
• The window keeps a session journal of everything done in it.
• Desktop builds for Apple Silicon and x64 Windows, each carrying its own
  Python.

macOS first launch

Neither the disk image nor the app is signed with an Apple Developer ID, so
macOS blocks both: once when the .dmg is opened, and again when the app is
launched. Nothing is wrong with the download — the certificate costs 99 USD a
year and this project does not have one.

Open System Settings -> Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, and press
Open Anyway beside the message about the file. Once for the disk image, once
for the app, and never again.

From the command line the order matters. Clear the disk image before dragging
the app out of it, because the copy inherits the flag:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/eclipse-aligner-1.0.0-arm64.dmg

Having dragged it already, clearing the disk image no longer helps — clear the
installed copy instead, with -r, since an app is a directory and the flag is
on the files inside it too:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/eclipse-aligner.app

Control-clicking the icon and choosing Open used to work; Apple removed that
shortcut in macOS 15. On Windows, SmartScreen warns once for the same reason:
choose More info and then Run anyway.

Downloads

file	for
eclipse-aligner-1.0.0-arm64.dmg	macOS, Apple Silicon
eclipse-aligner-1.0.0-x64-setup.exe	Windows x64, installer
eclipse-aligner-1.0.0-x64.zip	Windows x64, portable — unzip and run

Each carries its own Python, so there is nothing to install beside it.

Neither build is signed with a paid developer certificate, so the first
launch is blocked once and you allow it on purpose: on macOS through
System Settings → Privacy & Security, on Windows by clicking past the
SmartScreen warning. Each download carries a note saying so.
