ANN: Release of LunarPhase Pro V1.50

V1.50 of LunarPhase Pro has just been released. Full details of the
software can be found at:
http://www.nightskyobserver.com/LunarPhaseCD

New to this version are the following:

* New (first) Crescent Moon Visibility screen which shows the
illumination percentage of an emerging crescent and for how long it's
visible after sunset. The user can specify max. and min. moon
illumination percentage to look for and a year range.
* New Apogee and Perigee screen which shows max. and min. distances
and their dates within a user-specified year range.
* New 'Did You Know?' screen that pops up when LunarPhase Pro starts.
* New 1024x768 resolution screen for the Lunar Explorer which can be
turned on/off on the Lunar Explorer screen or via the Configuration
screen. This mode displays larger maps.
* Added a tool to the Lunar Explorer screen which allows the user to
centre 3D maps on the cursor position when the right-hand mouse button
is clicked.
* Added a tool to the Lunar Explorer screen which allows distances to
be measured on the lunar maps (or to find the size of features).
* Right-clicking on a feature in one of the dropdown lists on the
Lunar Explorer screen takes the user to a page on the Digital Lunar
Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Moon website for the selected
feature.
* Improved the quality of map printouts.
* Added options to the Configuration screen to set the default
resolution of the Lunar Explorer screen and to disable the 'Did You
Know?' popup screen for those who don't want it.
* The Moon's phase now displayed numerically in decimal format (with
four decimal places).
* The Lunation figure has been added to the main window display.
* Added Page Up/Down handling to vertical scrollbars on various
screen.


Bug Fixes in this version:

* Moonrise/set data on the eclipse screen is now for the date of the
eclipse, not the date selected on the calendar.
* Moon data was printed out twice in the Daily View printout. Sun data
is now printed in place of the duplicate set of moon data.
* Data in the Geocentric Max And Min pane on Libration screen has been
spaced out. Under some circumstances the data in different columns
would run into one another.
* On the Lunar Explorer screen, clicking on identified feature data
resulted in maps changing and other non-related data appearing. Now
fixed. Also, the Hand Pointer no longer appears in the data window
when data for an identified feature is displayed. This was confusing
to users.
