This is the third beta version of the upcoming 1.0 version. It comes with many improvements and bug fixes over the second beta ([[Siril:0.99.6|0.99.6]]) and also some over the stable version ([[Siril:0.9.12|0.9.12]]), and continues the big refactoring started with the 0.99 series.

The biggest improvements are new tools for astrometry and performance and stability improvements.

We would like to emphasize the great work made by the beta testers. It allowed us to make this great release with so many bug fixes: Cissou, Colmic, Stéphiou and Trognon. Thank you!

Siril 0.99.8

Release date: February 10, 2021

This is the third beta version of the upcoming 1.0 version. It comes with many improvements and bug fixes over the second beta (0.99.6) and also some over the stable version (0.9.12), and continues the big refactoring started with the 0.99 series.

The biggest improvements are new tools for astrometry and performance and stability improvements.

We would like to emphasize the great work made by the beta testers. It allowed us to make this great release with so many bug fixes: Cissou, Colmic, Stéphiou and Trognon. Thank you!

As a beta version of Siril 1.0, we only distribute this version with the packages for the 3 most common platforms (Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux). See the download page.

But as usual, since siril is a free software, it can be built on any OS from source, see the installation page.
