Hello! Welcome to the 4.X beta for SGPro. As always, we aim to ensure that even our betas are stable, but please know that we do find bugs during this process.

Sequence Generator 4.5.0.1460
Additions
- Added a new option in SGPro Options dialog, External Apps tab that will allow for users of Pinpoint LE via Maxim to ignore the Pinpoint solver (and avoid initialization errors on startup).
- Added a new option to automatically slave observatory to telescope when the observatory connects.
- Better slaving feedback for issues that may cause the observatory to lose sync with the telescope.
- Equipment Profiles now support a favorite status which will always display them at the top of the list.
- The profile chooser can now use right-click to open or edit the selected profile.
- The profile chooser will now accept double clicks as a valid method of choosing a profile.
- Updated the settings search index.
Changes
- As was originally intended, slaving the observatory to the telescope is no longer a setting but rather a state.
- Camera angles FITS header entries are now rounded to 2 decimal places
- Flat events in AutoFlats will no longer attempt to open files on disk in odder to sync progress.
- Fully retired the separate sequence settings dialog. It has been moved to centralized settings area in the Control Panel - Sequence tab.
- Profile Chooser dialog overhaul
- Retired the Dome Settings dialog in favor of showing settings directly in the Control Panel - Observatory tab.
- Since a reactive centering based on location error will likely fire after the next frame has already started, an option has been added to allow the current frame to finish (since this frame will still likely have useful data) or to terminate the current frame immediately.
- The profile chooser is now fully resizable
- the profile chooser now has a cleaner and easier to read layout
- Use a different method to try and restore sleep state when a sequence completes
- With respect to several today / tomorrow labels for end times, the UI now shows the expect NEXT occurrence and no longer shows the label for the internally help SGPro date.
Fixes
- Fixed a timing issue where system standby state may be restored and then effectively undone by a background worker thread.
- Fixed an issue that may show an error message during SGPro startups new sequence creation when using a default profile
- Fixed an issue where a sequence end time may be adjusted such that it is in the past and terminate the sequence immediately.
- Fixed an issue where between frame delays would not honor sequence or target end times
- Fixed an issue where it was not possible to set the end of sequence script from the control panel.
- Fixed an issue where manually run dusk or down AutoFlats would not recover properly if they fail from too bright or too dim issues.
- Fixed an issue where only the TEC cooldown progress bar in the Control Panel would show progress (and not the one in the TEC docking module)
- Fixed an issue where periodic and reactive recentering events would not automatically pause the autoguider before starting.
- Fixed an issue where recenter based on location error may start the next image before determining said error.
- Fixed an issue where Save Sequence as Profile would not add the new profile to the profile manager until after SGPro was restarted.
- Fixed an issue where sequence end times would not migrate properly to new format and sequence end time would show 00:00
- Fixed an issue where SGPro may apply between frame delays when a frame restart begins.
- Fixed an issue where SGPro might crash shortly after a sequence ends.
- Fixed an issue where shortcuts into specific areas of the Control Panel would open the correct tab, but its corresponding tab in the new tab list would not be selected.
- Fixed an issue where the External Notification config would either cause a hang or simply do nothing.
- Fixed an issue where the Flats Cal Wizard window would not close.
- Fixed an issue where the new location history handlers would attempt to calculate location when browsing through image history.
- Fixed an issue where the parking related buttons on the docking module were permanently disabled.
- Fixed an issue where the telescope docking module park button may be out of sync with the state of the mount.
- New observatory slaving controls are now compatible with RoR types.
- Sequence and target end today / tomorrow labels also now update in real time as the persistence of time imposes its will.
