Version History
Version 6.0.3:
Released 2008-08-05.
- Mars Phoenix landing set to 234.24845°E 68.21878°N. Note that is about 1/4° east of planned landing site, and so adds an extra minute to difference between PHX mission time and Local Mean Solar Time (LMST) at landing site.
- Inserted leap second to be added to UTC on morning of Jan. 1, 2009, into time calculation algorithm.
- Mars Phoenix panorama image replaced with full-color image released by Phoenix project on July 31.
- Some tweaks to control interface appearance, most notably to sunclock landmarks table.
Version 6.0.2:
Released 2008-05-30.
- Bugfix: CPU performance degraded when certain components displayed due to too-frequent repaint calls.
- Bugfix: Panorama graphic display not initialized with all pertinent user prefs.
- Panorama graphic display of Phoenix landing site uses first panorama photo from landing site.
- Improved calculation of "best" font sizes in display read-outs.
Version 6.0.1:
Released 2008-05-22.
- Belatedly informed that although landing site location was changed a month before landing, specification of Mars Phoenix Sol 0 epoch (i.e., time at which mission clock starts) was kept at time matching previously planned site. This makes about a two and a half minute difference in PHX time.
- Bugfix: Initialization of panorama panel crashed application under some Java look-n-feel implementations (e.g., on Linux/GTK).
Version 6.0:
Released 2008-05-22.
