Can someone compile a simple changelog between versions and some basic version update instructions and link it to the main celeste site?

Keep in mind the "average user" is probably someone who uses a Dell desktop or some generic PC running windows purchased a year ago...and he/she may not even be a english speaker...

This is a wonderful wonderful piece of software if only the "average interested user" can EASILY install, maintain(update new versions) and build on without having to start from scratch each time

Not many would navigate into the deepest reaches of each thread on this forum to find enough answers to get to the next step(although we have the most helpful moderater you won't find anywhere here)...

Some information are alot more important than others so why not start with these?

The ChangeLog doesn't need to be compiled, it is carefully updated and always available in the Celestia source distribution. It's your decision if you are only interested in some castrated binary Win32 archive .

Since Celestia is OpenSource software, with development proceeding at SourceForge, here is the corresponding link that is always available, of course

Then it only needs a link from the downloads page...

I thought not everyone needs the latest or greatest -- they may not even have a computer that can run the latest or greatest, better to let people know beforehand and let them decide whether to update or not, saves on time and bandwidth.

Much appreciate your link anyway. Thanks!
