There is no official v1.5 release. Eigher you compile it yourself from the sourcecode or wait for the official build.

Or you can get a precompiled Windows version by doing the following:


1) Install Celestia 1.4.1 (or copy the contents of your existing Celestia directory into a new folder)

2) Go to http://www.purebytes.de/stuff/celestia/

3) Download the celestia_cvs_latest.zip file.

4) Unzip the file directly into the Celestia 1.4.1 directory (or the copy you made), preserving all the file locations. This overwrites existing 1.4.1 files with new 1.5.0 files.

5) start celestia.exe in that directory - this should now be 1.5.0 (though it won't say so on the loading screen). To test that you have 1.5.0, go to a multiple star system with barycentres (eg Sirius) - if you have planet orbits turned on you should be able to see the orbits of the stars around their barycentres if 1.5.0 is installed correctly.

Ah, i see, ok then, thanks guys.

Just installed it and it works .
Again thanks for the help.

Keep in mind it's not the final version though so it still has some bugs in it! Also, the version there is frmo 22nd September so it's a few days old. We're basically at the mercy of phoenix (the user whose site that's on) for when he compiles a new version. But at least it lets us test things out
