>>>>>>>> let's not be too hard on Jasem for that, he is a great guy and works

>>>>>>>> more pressure on me to fix all these problems and get it all integrated,
>>>>>>>> and maybe that was a good thing, because I had mostly finished
>>>>>>>> StellarSolver back in June, and I was not integrating it into KStars very
>>>>>>>> fast at all.  This has pretty much lit a fire under me to get it done.  We
>>>>>>>> already did complain to him about putting it in the main repo so quickly,
>>>>>>>> but it really has worked to get things up and running.  So instead of
>>>>>>>> focusing on that, now that its done, let's work really hard to polish
>>>>>>>> everything up and get it ready for release.  I think we could be on track
>>>>>>>> for a Oct 22nd release.  Please keep testing and I will keep trying to
>>>>>>>> perfect things with StellarSolver and its integration with KStars for the
>>>>>>>> release.  And I am sorry if the integration has caused anybody any issues
>>>>>>>> because it wasn’t ready yet.
