<dd>First alpha release in which they are added astronomical events for planet and moon,
is an improved graphical interface and also the accuracy of
rise, set and transit times.</dd>
<dt>v 0.5 / 2010 July 15</dt>
<dd>Second pre-alpha release in which they are added efemerides for satellites
of planets, is an improved graphical interface and also the accuracy of
