 +====== Version 3 alpha 0.0.5 ======
 +
 +===== Add comet database, labels, more printing functions. =====
 +
 +{{ en:screenshot:i011.jpg?250&direct|}} **Add Comet database**.\\
 +That work the same way as for the Asteroids, see Version 3 alpha 0.0.4 for more details.
 +
 +If you already create the asteroid database please click the "Create Database" button again to upgrade.
 +
 +A sample data file (now in data/planet directory) load the currently visible comet.
 +You can load new data from:\\
 +ftp://cfa-ftp.harvard.edu/pub/MPCORB/COMET.DAT\\
 +or from\\
 +http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/SoftwareComets.html\\
 +get the MPC Format file.
 +
 +On Windows be sure to convert the end of line character. A download facility will be available in a future version to ease this process.
 +
 +{{ en:screenshot:i011b.jpg?250&direct|}} **Object label.**\\
 +About the same principle as in v2.75, using Greek letter for the Bright Stars.\\
 +But you can now move the label or edit the text by using a right mouse click to any label.\\
 +A left mouse click give you the detailed information about the object.\\
 +The changed label are saved to the default option or the saved chart.
 +
 +**Printing**\\
 +Printer selection menu now offer the choice to print directly to a real printer or to produce file in Postscript or BMP format.\\
 +This give high resolution image of the chart, also with the same aspect as on the screen.\\
 +You can set an application to immediately process or print the image.\\
 +
 +There is a new option to use the apparent coordinate instead of the mean coordinates. This apply correction for both the nutation and abberation to get the precise Earth related position.
 +
 +Many default option have changed, some to correct bug or imprecision, so I recommand you delete (or copy to a safe place) the file .cartesduciel.ini before to run this version.
