One of my eyes is giving out on me and i am having trouble reading so please bear with me

I absolutly love this program and i saw that there was a newer version so i downloaded it and installed it right over the old one

the old one was version 1.0.0.1

and i installed the new one 1.3.1-1

but when i right click on the new exe it still says version 1.0.0.1

did i do it wrong.....or is this just normal


ah....and the reson i did it this way was i had a whole bunch of addons to my early version that i didn't want to lose

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

That's a tuffy Enfield...

I'm using Celestia 1.3.2 Pre3 and the Version I get from the Help screen option is 1.3.2 Pre 1.

Have you noticed any new features since the installation? Ask Selden or Don about what to expect in a version. I'm sure that they'd know the answer.

Take care, Bob

enfield,

I'm guessing you're looking at the version info that's stored in one of the Windows-specific fields that shows up in crash outputs. That value never has been set.

Instead look in Celestia's Help menu. The value in the About message is set to the correct value when a final release is created. Often it gets overlooked for the pre releases, though.

By dragging the mouse curser over the latest 1.3.2pre3 celestia.exe, I am seeing the following information;



If you could post us your full details, then I'm sure someone will be able to tell you which version you're running. The 1.0.0.1 always seems to be there, but the date and size info should give us a clue !

Thanks

I checked the "help" menu and in there it said 1.3

then i held my mouse over the exe and it said

version 1.0.0.1
4/15/2003/8;15am
1.42 mb

maybe some one could help me understand the method of updating that i should be using...or just a short discription of your method

or even a link to the spot that descibes it......i can manage to read for about a minute before it gets all bblurry so if i could start where the info was i wouldn't be burnt out by the time i find the facts i need

Thankyou for the help

I am quite happy with it as is and now i would assume i at least am using the latest version

Hello enfield, and welcome to Celestia!

The current final "released" version of Celestia is 1.3.1, released on December 29, 2003, and can be found at the Celestia download page: http://www.shatters.net/celestia/download.html

The current Pre-Release version of Celestia is 1.3.2 pre3. Pre-releases are the next version of Celestia (in this case 1.3.2) IN-PROGRESS. This means that some things might not work just right, some new features might not yet be complete, etc. Here are two links to this pre-release, if you feel adventurous:

* http://www.h-schmidt.net/celestia/celestia-win32-1.3.2pre3.exe

* http://www.shatters.net/celestia/files/celestia-win32-1.3.2pre3.exe

Hope this helps!
