Installing the update
To install the CyberSky update on your computer, download the patch file, double-click the file to start the patch program, and then follow the instructions that appear.
During installation, the patch program modifies or “patches” the CyberSky program and Help file installed on your computer so that both include all of the improvements introduced in newer releases.
After you install the CyberSky update, you don’t need the patch file to run the program, but you should save it in case you need to reinstall CyberSky.
Release notes
Notes about recent releases, including descriptions of bug fixes, minor enhancements, and other changes to the program are found below.
CyberSky 5.0.3
(October 4, 2011)
- The Roman numeral designations of planetary moons—for example, Saturn VII for Saturn’s moon Hyperion—were not being displayed correctly in the Properties dialog box for planetary moons. Fixed.
- If the path of an asteroid was added to the map, the path was calculated and displayed correctly, but the current positions of asteroids weren’t updated correctly. Asteroids therefore disappeared from the map. In some cases, CyberSky would even “lock up.” The same thing happened to comets if the path of a comet was added to the map. Fixed.
- The rise, transit, and set times for meteor showers, displayed in the Properties dialog box for meteor showers, were not being calculated correctly. Fixed.
CyberSky 5.0.2
(January 4, 2011)
- If the time was set to a moment in the distant past or far in the future, a bug could cause the program to “lock up” or stop reponding. Fixed.
CyberSky 5.0.1
(November 22, 2010)
- Each time CyberSky was started, both the bar and the bar were placed at their default positions instead of being placed at the positions they had when the program was previously quit. Fixed.
CyberSky 5.0
(November 10, 2010)
- Initial release of CyberSky 5.
