Thank you! 3.7.7 built, installed, and ran successfully for me on both El Capitan and Snow Leopard (only versions I have, except for a small Parallels VM of Sierra, that doesn't have MacPorts installed).
While the changes are not dramatic, 2.7.3 was released in 2009, and 2.7.7 in 2015, so in those terms, the current version is a lot younger. :-) One of the changes updated the model of magnetic declination to reflect ongoing natural changes, so that it's valid for 2015-2020. Other changes seem to my amateur eyes to be useful too, and there were a decent number of bug fixes. http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/xephem/changes.html > On Dec 26, 2016, at 16:41, Marius Schamschula <[email protected]> wrote: > > Richard, > > xephem is a package w/o a maintainer.
