v0.3.0-preview02
Pre-release
The second preview build of v0.3.0 of the ASCOM Alpaca Simulators project! This supports all Alpaca device types.
Some changes since the first preview
- Fixed issue with focuser reporting position while in relative mode
- Fixed issue with Telescope RightAscensionRate
- Improved strict mode for API calls
- Package and build updates
The binaries can be started directly or from the command line. Either way they will display a terminal for output / testing. These releases are simple zip / tar.xz files containing the output. For each the main binary is named ascom.alpaca.simulators.
Each OS dependent package was built as a Self Contained (does not require .Net 6.0 to be installed) and Trimmed (size reduced by removing unused platform code). All targets are Ready to Run AOT Compiled (whatever code can be fully compiled was).
This release includes Windows (x86 and amd64), Linux (amd64, armhf, and aarch64) and macOS amd64 (Intel or Rosetta 2) binaries.
The zip that ends with .Net 6.0 is a release build that is much smaller but it requires .Net 6.0 to be installed on the system. It can be unzipped and started by calling "dotnet .\ascom.alpaca.simulators.dll" or by running the exe on Windows.
Linux builds also offer experimental AppImage packages, which have AppImage in the file name.
