This release add tools to correct the chromatic dispersion and tune the color balance of the resulting image. It also fixes some bugs.

Correction of a stacking issue that made the application crash on some configurations (1901691). Correction of the image updating during process (1922938). An update of the RAW file types (1898526). Watch cursor management correction (1210430). Correction of some memory leaks. Implementation of a cache for movie images, which greatly speeds up image updating. Grayscale Quicktime movies are no longer read as RGB (allowing you to save the result as FITS).

FITS saving, some crashes in the developer release, the creation of image processings inside the process stack window, window closing while processing, and the "revert" function have been corrected. Optional protection against spurious alignment has been implemented.

This release is intended for evaluation and bug reports before the 2.0 final release. The application code has been refactored, and a new plug-in architecture for image processing has been implemented. Using this architecture, wavelet and Lucy-Richardson filters have been added.

The AVI and MPEG formats are supported. The
launching on G4 was fixed. Some more fixes were
made for image scrambling in plugins. A RAW plugin
loading problem was fixed. A warning window is
shown if the stacking is started without the
calibration images being themselves stacked. The
"About" window was reorganized. Refactoring,
corrections, and optimization of the stacking
routine were done.
