You forgot a major change: ShowMySky model is now supported on macOS!

[tflyer-rgb]

Hello,

Thank you for the excellent software, unfortunately the application can no longer be started after the update from 1.0 to 1.1. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not help. The log_file shows the following.

Kind regards

Tom

[alex-w]

Thanks for report! This is very bad news - Qt5-based version is broken now :(

[spierrard]

Where is the 32 bits version ? i can'- find stellarium-1.1-qt5-win64.exe and stellarium-1.1-qt5-win32.exe.
Thanks

[alex-w]

Where is the 32 bits version ? i can'- find stellarium-1.1-qt5-win64.exe and stellarium-1.1-qt5-win32.exe.
Thanks

Both will be available tomorrow

[tflyer-rgb]

Thanks for the quick reply, some additional information with the appimage version the same problem occurs. After updating the Windows (Windows 10) application starts but shows only a black screen.

Many greetings
Tom

What if you pass --opengl-compat option?

[tflyer-rgb]

passing --opengl-compat don't change the behavior

[10110111]

Please report this as an issue. Apparently, it needs quite a bit of investigation, because this is something we don't observe.

[tflyer-rgb]

I open issue #2803

[oldherl]

The title says 1.1 but the filename is 1.1.1. This difference has caused my automated build script to fail and is confusing. What version should I call it anyway?

[DarthGandalf]

I'd say it's still 1.1

1.1.1 is used only in a single place, in URL, but even there there are 2 numbers, and one of them is 1.1

[phomer60]

I can no longer run under Mac OS 10.15.7, which was only updated in July. and is the latest available OS for my Mac.
Pop Up message is the application requires MacOS 11.0.

1.1 AMDx86_64 Appimage fails to launch on Pop-OS 22.04 (Ubuntu distro). Going back to old version.
