OccultWatcher v5.4 Released


 

Hi All,

I realeased a new update to OccultWatcher desktop today that I believe will fix the problem that I think a very small number of users may have been seeing.

The issue occurs if the default Windows Reginal Settings date separator has been changed from the default '/' to something else, e.g. a '-'. In such a case OW was not able to identify if a prediction update sent by OWC was actually an update and would ignore it. If you have been affected by this issue I recommend that you purge your OW database after you update to this latest version. Note that this update only fixes the problem where the date separator has been changed. If you have not changed your date separator in Windows you don't need to purge your OW database aftert the update.

This release also introduces functionality that will push your locally stored Saved Sites in OW to OWC which you will be able to see and edit from your user profile:

Please note that this is only one-way sync and the intention is to migrate your OW Desktop sites to OWC as I hope to soon release an extended filtering/search functionality that works fully on OWC (web browser only) and can find events to observe based using a more extensive criteria including distance from center line or shadow, probablity to observe occulation and others.

I'll annouce more on this OWC improvement once there is something more widely available.

Regards,
Hristo Pavlov.
