Star labels are not visible

It seems that star labels cannot be displayed (Win32 version) with Celestia 1.5.0's latest CVS build. Anything that I did wrong? Or it is a real miss?

Star labels are in the process of being changed.
The new implementation is not yet complete.

At the moment, all 4 of the following conditions must be met for any labels to be visible. This will be changing soon.

1. Star labels are enabled (type b to toggle them)

2. the star is above a certain magnitude threshold (type [ and ] to adjust it)

Many of the brightest stars are labelled when "Magnitude limit" has a value of 6.5 or greater.

3. Any of the "OpenGL vertex program" render paths is enabled (type Ctrl-V to step through them)

4. the new High Dynamic Range code is enabled (type @ or shift-2 to toggle it)
