<p>Dear Jasem,</p>
<p>Thank you for the good news. It is great that kstars/ekos is
constantly being developed and that new functions are added with
each release. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, the basic planetarium UI and some of its functions
are still suffering from bugs which don't seem to get much
attention. As I didn't find any reference to it in the changelog
of 3.7.4, I took the liberty of posting a short unlisted video
demonstrating one of such bugs, that has been affecting my
installation: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XImXZ6OXNCs" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XImXZ6OXNCs</a>
.<br>
</p>
<p>As a professional astronomer that regularly uses kstars for work,
I would be grateful if you or the other developers could have a
look also in these less groundbreaking "features" of the program.</p>
<p>Thank you in advance,<br>
Best regards,</p>
Giovanni Ceribella

<div>Hello all,</div>

</div>
<div>Happy to announce that KStars 3.7.4 is released for Mac,
Windows, and Linux.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Very cool features are in this release including a
completely new imaging planner by Hy Murveit, and Simbad
integration in the FITS Viewer by John Evans.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>John also added experimental contrast-based focus that
works great for Lunar and Solar imaging.</div>
