I suppose there are some improvements Here is a copy of the changes for version 0.9.0 amd 0.9.1

0.9.1 [In developement]
Got rid of autoconf/automake (Hooray!)
Fixed a grid RA labeling bug.
Improved the plug-in managment.
Fixed nebula names loading (bug #1740287)
Recoded time methods based on Qt time function (this fixed bug #1740595, LANG=en_IN crash).
Use the new Grid class by Guillaume Chereau for NebulaMgr.
Made StelUI and StelCommandMgr real StelModules.
Increased grid labeling brightness.
Fixed splash screen flikering and logo image truncation in full screen mode.
Fixed wrong nebula size (bug #1673142)
Fixed constellation art intensity bug (bug #1733482)
Got rid of all wstreamstring and therefore don't require STLPort anymore for MinGW compilation.

0.9.0 [2007-06-6]
Larger star catalog including stars from Hipparcos, Tycho2 and NOMAD
Can select multiple constellations at one time
Local script directory is reread when enter TUI
Inuit constellation art by Johan Meuris
More sky cultures
Large code reorganization into a modular structure based on StelModule, StelApp singleton and its "manager" classes providing services to the modules.
Projection code cleaned and splitted into Mapping classes.
Movement control code encapsulated into the MovementMgr module.
Code cleaning and commenting.
Sidereal day/week keystrokes (ALT -, ALT =, ALT [, ALT ]).
Data files reorganized
Added back Hawaiian translations (invented locale "hw")
Orthographic projection, Lamberts Equal Area projection, Cylinder projection.
Interpolate the elliptic coordinates (or the spherical coordinates in case of the moon).
Do not place the Earth at the EMB but at its proper position.
New orbit type comet_orbit for proper calculation of elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic orbits.
Added loading of jpeg textures and re-coded most of the texture manager.
Allow loading of plug-ins (unstable until version 1.0).
Selection of object is managed per module, and by the StelObjectManager.
Recoded Grid display to allow for adaptative scale wrt zoom and labeling.
The main window managed by QT4.2 instead of SDL.
Window resizing
Smooth go to selected solar system body by pressing control-g
Location map updates on changing observer to new solar system body
Titlebar updates after moving to new planet
Landscapes may now have location, can update observer by selecting landscape
More nebula textures and better placement of most existing textures
Build is now managed by cmake instead of autoconf/automake. These old tools are still supported for this version.
