## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.19.1 — 2026-08-31

Orrery now includes a Virtual Horizon View: a live, true-perspective picture of
the sky above you, with the Sun, Moon, planets and constellations placed exactly where you'd find them. 
This release also corrects dwarf planet positions, fixes meteor shower peak dates around the new year, simplifies widget setup, and makes the home-screen widget noticeably lighter on battery.

### 1.18.0 — 2026-08-25

This update adds an in-app prompt that lets you update Orrery with a single tap
when a new version is available. We've also tidied up the Upcoming Events list so
it no longer shows eclipses that aren't visible from your location, fixed
deep-sky object labels on the home-screen widget, and made the widget's
lock-to-night-hour option work consistently everywhere.

### 1.17.0 — 2026-08-20

New Tonight widget: a quick glance at tonight's sky — moon phase, meteor showers, the next
ISS pass, and upcoming planet events — right on your home screen. This update also adds solar transits
of Mercury and Venus and close planetary conjunctions to the events list, refreshes the Constellations
view, reorganises Settings, and lets you keep the brightest objects always visible. Free to explore,
with an optional unlock to save your personalised setup across sessions.

### 1.16.0 — 2026-08-10

Meet the outer planets: a new Ice Giant Moons card tracks Uranus's five major moons and Neptune's
Triton, with fresh moon artwork throughout. The Moon now reddens on the arc during a lunar eclipse,
and new East/West compass labels help you orient the sky. This release also polishes the purchase
flow, smooths out panning, and fixes a handful of layout and widget-setup details.

### 1.15.1 — 2026-08-06

The Messier catalogue is now much bigger — 85 deep-sky objects, each with its own photo. New filter
chips let you narrow the list by type (galaxies, clusters, nebulae) or to just what's visible tonight.
The background-image picker has been reworked with per-image framing and an easier way to manage your
random rotation. You can now tap any Sun, Moon, planet, or meteor-shower event to jump the sky arc
straight to it. Plus faster loading, much smaller download size, and a batch of stability fixes.
