Announcing Allsky v2024.12.06_02

[EricClaeys]

We released point release v2024.12.06_02 today which fixes a few bugs in v2024.12.06_01 (including de421.bsp not downloading) and adds several new features.
Installing or upgrading a remote Website is more reliable and when problems are detected you'll get better error messages.

See the detailed list of changes.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• This is the LAST release that supports Buster.
• This is the LAST release that contains the "legacy" overlay method.

We expect to have a new major release around May / June 2025 with a much improved and easier to use "module" and "overlay" system.

the fullscreen option is in the new version?

[EricClaeys]

Full-screen option of what? The WebUI or the Allsky Website.

The Website has had an icon for full-screen display for a couple years.

Can you refresh my memory where a full-screen option was requested for the WebUI?

Fixing / implementing a "full screen" option is scheduled for our next release, which we're internally calling "v2025.xx.xx" since we know it'll be in 2025 but don't know the month or day. Likely in about 2 months.

ok thanks. Will await that version.
