Features

• Gamepad mapping changes: map labels on/off to button X, unmap minimap, map A to camera speed-up (hold to make camera faster). RB and LB mapped to vertical movement (up/down) in free camera mode.
• Replace ‘displays’ section in about window with ‘graphics cards’.
• Add infrastructure to be able to create and load ray-marching effects on-demand in the background. Make sure that ray-marching effects stay at their designated location by allowing addition of effects at a particular position in the post-processing chain.
• Enable IDs in particle groups. Trim down IDs in camera info pane from 14 to 12 characters.
• Improve ‘no connection’ dialog, with more information and hints as to whether the issue is with our server or with the local internet connection.
• Do not show blocking dialog if base data is present when we can’t connect to the datasets server. Show a popup notification instead. In the dataset manager window, make installed datasets tab the default view in some cases.
• Add support for pulling cloud textures from online resources.
• Add calls to clear label regexp filtering. Improve documentation on some API calls.

Bug fixes

• Guard OS code name getter behind NPE check during Flatpak discovery. This fixes a crash at startup with macOS Tahoe.
• Remove UI window shadow, as it messes with the internal padding due to the 9-patch implementation in Libgdx.
• Gamepad focus order in welcome GUI. Decrease poll delay for gamepad axes.
• Misalignments in about window layout.
• TLEParserTest does not initialize settings, leading to NPE.
• Synchronize TLE initializer to prevent multiple creations/editions of TLE data and derived JSON files at the same time.
• Size issue in gamepad image in gamepad settings window. Increase maximum value of axis power slider to 15. Set value of vertical movement (RB/LB) to 1 instead of 0.1, to match other camera motion inputs.
• Reduce range of sensitivity and axis power sliders in gamepad config window.
• Connect LABEL_CLEAR_FILTER_REGEX_CMD event to scene observer. This fixes the clearLabelFilterRegexps() method.
• Increase maximum eye separation in stereo mode, fix star/particle label positioning in stereoscopic mode.
