Changes since v1.0.1

1. Orbit adjustments:

   - Moved Noi to L4 Lagrange Point of Sunorc.
   - Adjustd the SMA of Norihc and Noyreg.
   - Increased the SMA of the barycenter for a bit.
   (2) Increase the SMA of Maelg, Sunorc, and Aralc system for orbit stability.
   (3) Removed the barycenter of Aralc system to make it less buggy. If you have any crafts orbiting it, move it to somewhere else before updating, or you will lose this vessel.
   (4) Moved Aralc-A and Aralc-B closer to each other.
   (5) Adjusted the SMA of Ahtpan, Tot, and Sera.
   (6) Increased the inclination of Meiuqer.
2. Added parallax 2.0 ground objects to most celestial bodies. Added support for Parallax under Homeswitch settings.

4. Better implementation for home-switch settings. Added a hidden home-switch option for those who enjoy challenge, pain, and cool stuffs :P
5. Improved rescale config. Now home-switch and rescale can be applied together. Removed the RescaleAll option in settings. It will rescale all celestial bodies by default unless RSS or JNSQ is installed.
6. Added an option to move Kerbol system orbiting Kcalbeloh. To enable it you need to change DistanceFactor to 0.
7. Added an extra package to make Kcalbeloh's Schwarzschild radius realistic without changing its mass.

    • Better sunlight curve for RSS.
    • Adjusted the fixed Kerbol's light curve to make OPM planets brighter.
    • Better planet introduction writing.
    • Remove the sunlight requirement for ScanSat since it only recognizes Kerbol as light source.
