PlanePlotter 6.6.1.7 Released

[Triple7]

From Bev:

Hi,

PlanePlotter version 6.6.1.7 is on the web site now.
http://www.planeplotter.com#download

For Win XP platforms.  "www.coaa.co.uk/planeplotter6_6_1_7XP.exe" is available without the IPv6 feature.

---Usual boilerplate---
Updates are free to registered users.

You may need to exercise your browser Refresh function to force it to show you the new version of the PlanePlotter web page. If you post a message complaining that the web page is still pointing to an earlier version, you pay a forfeit - unless I forgot to update the web page, in which case I pay a forfeit!

You can install the new version over the old one but you *must* close/exit PlanePlotter before installing the new one. Nic's installer will warn you if PlanePlotter is still running when you try to install the new version. Your settings from the previous installation will be preserved.

If you have a version-specific firewall, you may have to reassure it that the new version is permitted to access the Internet. Be aware that increasingly, security systems treat any new file as a threat without any justification except that it is new. Please don't write to me about it; write to your security system provider and ask them to make their program smarter.
-----------------------
Changes since the last formal release. 
This list is recapitulative.

6.5.9.8
Fix ping rate rationalisation in analysis.
Slightly relax radar site criterion for inclusion in radar.txt.

6.5.9.9
Fix polar diagram susceptibility to neighbouring reception.

6.6.1.1
Option to change OpenAIP overlay's font size.

6.6.1.2
Add line width options for Outlines, GPX overlays, OpenAIP overlays.
Ignore hypersharing requests if busy.

6.6.1.3

6.6.1.4
Fix unintended Fonts..OpenAIP ..labels colours.

6.6.1.5
Handle new format OpenAIP files.

6.6.1.6
Refresh solar system objects every ten minutes - previously only updated when the program starts, which meant the Sun was misplaced after a short time.
Detect home location test JPG fails.
Add Help..Test networking..Display home location in Google Maps.
Ensure that edits to flight route do not duplicate the entry due to wrong flight number length.

6.6.1.7
Update MapQuest API domain name
Until now, MapQuest hosted OpenStreetMaps although officially it was withdrawn some years ago. Since OSM support has stopped, I have changed the MapQuest interface to use MapQuest's proprietory mapping instead of OSM. It is nowhere near as nice but unless I can find another site hosting OSM map creation, it is the best that is available.

Enjoy!
