Not mentioned in the release notes is the the fact that some serious  
work was done on the telescope control stuff. Hopefully it will behave  
a lot better now. Note that this is with the built-in telescope  
drivers, not ASCOM (which might well benefit from this release, or  
not) which was not tested.

Also, for those of you that are suffering major slowdowns with the  
image database builder thread seemingly stuck in a loop, I have  
upgraded the Help->Thread Tracker to show more details about what a  
thread is currently doing. Please try the feature and report back to  
me on your findings.

Development is becoming more difficult as I try and overcome various  
problems with threading. Having stuff happen (effectively) in parallel  
is fraught with challenges and bugs that are a bitch to track down.  
However, we're getting there. Slowly.
