Changes: * Add shadows from satellites on Saturn's rings, let brightness of rings go to zero as Saturn approaches equinox. * Add trail_output option to satellite files to print out satellite positions. * Calculate eclipse shadows a little past the terminator so they don't get cut off sharply. * Reload satellite files in case TLE files are updated between renderings. Suggested by Lutz Mändle. * Added Lambert Equal Area projection * Check that -origin above or below is not specified for the Sun. * Add patch from Doug Hawkins to support marker_* keywords in config file. * Added the -label_body option. This is useful in conjunction with -separation to specify which body the label should apply to. * Added the -separation option. This places the observer at a point in space where two bodies have the specified separation. * Allow -glare 0 to remove sun glare. * Fixed a bug where arcs were sometimes not drawn if they were vertical or horizontal lines. * A thickness value may now be specified for arcs. * Added max_radius and min_radius keywords to marker files. This disables drawing of the marker if the planet radius is larger than or smaller than the specified value, respectively. * Fixed a bug where the arc color was not reset to the default color for subsequent arcs in the file.
