New features:

• Enhanced status display (running, stopped, finished, loading).

• Locations can now be selectively displayed depending on their status.

• Added the option to start or stop SETI@home clients from within Ksetiwatch. Command line arguments can be entered in a dialog window. What's more, SETI@home clients can automatically be started at start-up of Ksetiwatch.

• Added Croatian and German translation.

• Logging of completed work units works reliably now even for continuously running clients.

• In all critical function parts, the timers are now disabled to keep Ksetiwatch from freezing when monitoring many clients via the network.

• Made the status check more efficient, thus less time-consuming.

• Changed the title of the `New High Peak' and `New High Gaussian' message window to show from which location the message originated.

• Ksetiwatch now uses the scientific representation for numerical values greater than 1.0e6.

This inofficial version should be quite stable, but don't expect everything is working (e.g., the ComboBox in the `Analysis' tab doesn't work yet). On the other hand, logging of work units should be much more reliable now especially for continuously running clients. So, check it out and give me some feedback via bug reports.

Bugfixes:

• Sometimes the skymap wasn't updated correctly when a single work unit was added; fixed.
  
  
• The program crashed when the user tried to open the skymap in the `Data Info' tab while the skymap window from the `Completed WU' tab was still open; fixed.
  
  
• Record entries in the `Analysis' tab weren't cleared after the start of a new work unit; fixed.
  
  

• Single WUs from the Completed WU lists can now be displayed on the sky map; right-click on the corresponding list entry.
  
  
• Added a `Reload Locations' function to the right-click popup menu of the `Completed Work Units' treelist.
  
  
• Added another pushbutton to the `Analysis' tab; guess what happens when you click it... ;)
  
  

• `Show on Sky Map' right-click popup menu function would crash if no pixmap could be loaded; fixed.
  
  
• Replaced PNG graphics file with BMP; removed kimgio.
  
  
• Changed the code to check first for version 2.0 of the SETI@home client.
  
  
• Timestamp for WU logging is now taken from the creation date of the result file.
  
  

• Added the possibility to display logged work units on the skymap, either for a specific SETI location or all together (right-click on the tree list in the 'Completed Work Units' tab).
  
  
• The skymap window now has a right-click popup menu, where some display properties (marker size and such) can be set.
  
  

• Fixed a small inaccuracy in displaying the SETI locations on the starmap.
  
  
• Due to the scrollbar fix for version 0.2.0, a vertical scrollbar appeared for displays smaller than the skymap pixmap; fixed.
  
  
• Considerably improved the display speed of the completed WU lists.
  
  
• WU logging reorganized; program code much more efficient.
  
  

New features:

• Ksetiwatch now automatically logs completed work units by checking every two seconds for the existence of a certain file combination.
  
  This feature hasn't been tested extensively. Please send me some feedback how it worked for you.

• Fixed a possible segfault when opening the starmap and the star pixmap couldn't be found.
  
  
• Got rid of that nasty horizontal scrollbar in the starmap window when the screen width is sufficiently large.
  
  
• Minor code tweaks.
