• Version 0.7.10

    • Added unit test for getting site count
    • Set global com visible to false and only exposed the classes that need to be.
    • Added try catch to the default constructor to show the details of an error if something goes wrong.
    • Fixed double.parse error caused by cultureInfo.

  • Version 0.7.9

    • Added extra # in front of every command as recommended by Meade.
    • Code inspections
    • Duplicate reconcile
    • Code upgraded to use .net 4.5
    • Added log message for when a pulse guide move is completed that will show the difference.
    • .net 4.5 is not being recognised as installed, so trying a different variable.
    • Modified how the old guiding method is implmented – it’s now much simplified and uses the same move axis commands as normal slewing, which is what it does under the hood anyway.
    • Modified how the RA detection is done, and changed the message logs
    • RA position report on connect to trigger for ALL connects.
    • Modified the LX200 Classic connections, so that if a :GVP is returned when :GVP# is sent, it assumes an error. A timeout will be assumed to be an LX200 Classic.
    • Started working on unit testing for the sharedresources class.
    • Changed the code to detect any exception when trying to run a :GVP after the initial connect.
    • Upgraded the Profile code to be contained inside a wrapper and started adding unit tests to cover.

  • Version 0.7.8

    • Experimental support for LX-200 EMC
    • Code tidyup

  • Version 0.7.7

    • Adding version number to the settings dialog
    • Added feature where setup dialog controls are disabled when the telescope or focuser is attached
    • Modified the whole solution to use Any CPU, and changed the installer to use the /register /unregister commands
    • ASCOM Profile for Meade Generic removed on uninstall, but not on upgrade (the not on upgrade part is experimental)

  • Version 0.7.6

    • Fixed typo in new secondary connection log message (added the missing closing bracket)
    • Added the MIT License to the installer
    • Please note, this is not a required update.

  • Version 0.7.5

    • Added log message when connecting a telescope to show when the first connection adjustments are made or skipped

  • Version 0.7.4

    • Telescope settings for long format, Guide speed and slewing precision are set only when the first device connects, subsequent connections now skip that step.
    • Fixed issue where the setup dialog someone appears behind the active application.
    • Adding unit testing to the focuser implementation

  • Version 0.7.3

    • Adding site count custom action to return the number of sites supported by the driver
    • Adding configuration option to allow selection of the telescope slewing precision method. Defaulted to “Unchanged” which will not set the precision on connection

  • Version 0.7.2

    • Added support for the :Mg…# pulse guiding commands for the LX200GPS
    • Added custom action site to allow selection of the site in the Autostar.
    • reading and writing of guide rate implemented on supported telescopes (caveate: Unable to read the guide rate. After connection driver based value written to telescope.)
    • Builds are now processed via continuous integration.

  • Version 0.7.1

    • Site no longer set to site 1 on connect. (Custom action available to do this manually)
    • Fixed defect when setting site latitude to a negative value. (Southern hemisphere)
    • Unit test coverage for Telescope class (Ensures regression consistency between versions)
    • Setup files will extracted from a continuous integration environment rather than build from developer machine. (this will help to ensure that the regression libraries are executed)
