User-visible changes in StarPlot 0.95.5:
----------------------------------------

New features:

* One can now select between several sets of distance units, including
  the options to view distances in AU and miles or km at large scales.
* New button permits setting the chart to the orientation seen from Earth.
* Search algorithm now allows more precise selection of results (see docs).
* New dialog Stars -> Calculate Distance allows calculation of the distance
  between two arbitrary coordinates.

Minor tweaks:

* Default help browser on Mac OS X is now /usr/bin/open so that system default
  web browser is used to view documentation.
* Some speed optimization of starconvert program.
* Starconvert program now recognizes --add-sun and --no-add-sun flags.
* Starpkg script now understands --quiet / --verbose flags and can pass
  an option to starconvert with --starconvert-option flag.  (Use repeated
  --starconvert-option flags to pass through more than one option.)
* Official desktop entry is available for xdg-compliant desktop environments.

Bug fixes:

* Now compiles with g++ version 4.3.
* More of the documentation is written.
* More accurate Euler angles used for transformation between coord. systems.
