KStars v3.5.8 Released

[Robert Lancaster]

Did you build from master, install a specific stable version, or use the PPA?  The PPA has caused the bulk of the problems we have seen, especially when it set people up to use Kstars 3.5.7 with StellarSolver 2.0, when really what we wanted was for KStars 3.5.7 to continue working with StellarSolver 1.9 and for KStars 3.5.8 beta and now stable to use StellarSolver 2.0 or later.  We have to figure out how to use the PPA in a better way so that doesn’t happen.  Now once we started testing, we found a couple of issues and quickly released StellarSolver 2.1 and 2.2.  And now I think the issues should be resolved.  But still I don’t know that you got the updated 2.2 version from the PPA.  I just checked and it is definitely in there.  So maybe you just need to update?
