Revision as of 22:32, 16 November 2021

Siril 1.0.0-RC1

Release date: Nov 20, 2021

This is the first release candidate of the upcoming 1.0 version. It comes with the final improvements over the previous beta version (0.99.10) and bug fixes. The next months will be dedicated to testing this release candidate and improving the final details of the first stable release in more than two years.

The main new features are the pixel math tool, the new plots that can be used to filter images out, tilt estimation and better star detection and WCS handling.
