The 0.10.0 beta release of Stellarium is only to show the new core platform and to sort out some bugs before the release of 0.10.1. The updated program still has some problems that are being sorted out now. and version 1.0.0 is still some distance off. Note: the FPS problem has been sorted out in later builds of the source code.
The most recent relatively stable version is 0.9.1 which may suit most people better. The program is getting quite intensive now as more features are added and as it is a real time program needs lots of video memory, main memory and powerful processors.
The new program has dropped the dependancy on SDL and now uses Trolltech's Qt as the main platform. This is a relatively new platform and is quickly evolving as the way to go however it is still under development and has had three major upgrades in the last year each allowing better operation of Stellarium. The five Qt dll's used with Stellarium have also been upgraded three times. Thus many features in the new builds require the latest version of the dll's as well.
To have a look at the latest developments you can download the beta version 0.10.0 then go to this site.

and down load the current portions of the latest builds to upgrade the beta version to where the program was last week. Read the readme files and follow the instructions.
