This version upgrades to latest Android APIs.
It also widens our definition of a supermoon so the second fullmoon of August 2024 is considered a supermoon. (There's no accepted scientific definition of a supermoon and it appears we were miserly in choosing ours.)
Notifications are now resume automatically after a reboot. See https://www.patreon.com/posts/99331526 for more details.
A completely rewritten billing engine. LunaSolaria now relies on Google to remember your purchases rather than doing it internally. So let us know if you find you can't access your purchases when offline. (E.g. via twitter @lunappdev)
2.70: This version allows the time to be set, as well as the date (once unlocked).
2.72: Updated notification and settings code. Notifications of sunrise and sunset join the notifications of moonrise and moonset (once notifications are unlocked).
Adds support for supermoons, past, present and future.
2.50 adds the time to the status bar, making it easier to understand data for other locations.
And the location wizard gains a new final screen that displays the coordinates entered on a map.
[2.50e fixes a problem present in 2.50d which meant the date wizard wouldn't accept different years. Sorry about that.]
Adds support for changing locations.
Major BUG FIX for it locking. Sorry folks. But it's now sorted.
2.30 Adds altitude graphs and coordinates for the sun and the planets.
2.30b Fixes retrograde motion not displaying in the zodiac and a problem that causes erroneous altitude graphs.
Adds altitude graphs and coordinates for the sun and the planets.
Adds a screen that shows the zodiac. (2.20a adds a small fix to about screen.)
Fixes problems with scrolling not working and the moon image not updating on some devices. Also changes the notification icon to a crescent moon.
Bug fixes.
