Tons of stuff, to be completed.
Siril 0.9 alpha is the new version (2013-2014) of Siril, a massive upgrade of the previous 0.8 version of 2006 ([http://sourceforge.net/projects/siril/ old website]). Many things have changed since 0.8, including:
 
* many new image formats supported for import (converted to Siril's FITS: 8-bit and 16-bit BMP, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, NetPBM binary images, RAW DSLR images and loaded natively: SER files) and export
* better image sequence handling, with non-contiguous sequences, but still requiring file names to be numbered with integers
* new graphical user interface based on GTK+ version 3.4 and above, and in general update of dependencies to latest versions
* new display modes added to the standard linear scaling with lo/hi bounds: log, asinh, sqr, sqrt, histeq, negative
* new manual translation method with two preview renderings of the current image with reference frame in transparency
* new commands available for the command line, see the list of [[Siril:Commands|available commands]]
* a star finding algorithm with [[Siril:PSF|PSF]] information
* numerous bugs fixed and internal code refactoring for a better extensibility
