[APBeta] Comments

[ron1944]

Sorry I did not intend to be demotivating.  I did not know the problem was so prolific ( i am a recent member of the forum).  I am very pleased with v2.2. I live in the North East of England,not famous for its dark or clear skies. So anything that improves productivity in thr brief breaks is very much appreciated. The excellent integration with C2A and APT  has allowed to make much better use if the available time.
Its hard to think of significant improvements to my circumstances, though the  HTTP link might just be one. But i hope you can find a way to solve your situation. Sorry that my comments didnt help-that was not my intent.

I can’t reproduce (yet) this issue here, even though it’s affecting many people on Windows. It’s a major stumbling block.

V2.3 has (and will have) many non-trivial under-the-covers improvements over V2.2, apart from bug fixes. e.g.
- 64-bit versions (soon).
- Mitigation of the nasty flickering issue in the Windows version (soon).
- Mac version is now Cocoa-based rather than Carbon.
- Updated HTTP access that is causing issues in V2.2 and before.
- Retina/Hi-DPI support (mebbe, if time permits).
- For Windows users, the dreaded Bluetooth/serial port hangup on launch has gone away.

Unfortunately, as has been revealed several times before, AstroPlanner makes me relatively little income, and so I have to do other stuff in order to make ends meet. If I retire (likely to happen in the not too distant future), or get fired from my current gig, I will have more time to spend on AstroPlanner support and development.
