Aciqra 2.3.2 is the second update to the Aciqra 2.3 series. It is a very minor release and features only a couple of improvements. In Aciqra 2.3.1 and prior releases, magnitude predictions for asteroids were off significantly due to mishandling of ... [More] the slope parameter. The use of slope parameter is correct in this release. In addition, some internal optimizations were made to the code to help speed up the drawing of stars. The difference is very minor with a speed-up on the order of just 1%. Slight adjustments were made to the display to improve readability and aid navigation. [Less]

Aciqra 2.3.1 is the first update to the 2.3 series. Aciqra now uses the latest version of the Aloac library to perform a binary search for rise, set and transit times. These times are now displayed with increased precision and accuracy. In addition ... [More] , time labels are now formatted correctly with leading zeros when necessary. A full list of updates is available on the official release statement. [Less]
