* Added new Repair module for star repair and rounding
* Fixed major bug in Synth (didn't work at all on bigger stars!)
* Made numerous UI fixes and enhancements across several modules
* Added icon to Linux version

If you have images with stars which have been adversely affected by guiding errors, incorrect polar alignment, collimation issues or mirror defects such as astigmatism etc., give the new Repair module a go.

It's a real step up from the usual Offset filter/darken hack - it actually beats (warps) the stars into shape without affecting any other pixels or properties of the star and its surroundings.

Your mileage may vary depending on the star mask you give it, but I have been able to achieve some pretty cool results with images I though were *way* beyond repair using any other method.
