sky-map-team/stardroid v.1.11.1

1.11.1 Venus

on GitHub

Added

• Credits dialog — new entry in the main menu lists sponsors and contributors, rendered in the
  same WebView as Help with full night-mode support
• Manual compass offset — a new setting lets users nudge the compass heading by a fixed number
  of degrees, providing a workaround when a device's magnetometer is consistently biased
  (addresses #632)
• New Time Travel events — Perseids, Leonids, Geminids, New Moon, and other notable 2026
  celestial events added to the quick-pick list
  (addresses #274)
• Time Travel events can now automatically set the search target to the event's sky location
• Dynamic Time Travel button — shows "Start from Now" when the dialog opens (making it obvious
  you're about to start time travel from the current moment), and switches to "Go!" once a specific
  time or event is selected
• Info cards in automatic mode — an optional preference now allows the educational info cards
  to appear in automatic (sensor) mode, not just manual mode
  (addresses #594)
• Compass accuracy troubleshooting section added to the help text, explaining hard/soft iron
  distortions, what the figure-8 calibration actually does, and why a calibrated compass can still
  drift
• CONTRIBUTING.md with build instructions, coding style, and submission workflow
• SECURITY.md with vulnerability reporting policy
• CHANGELOG.md following Keep a Changelog format
• docs/ARCHITECTURE.md with module structure, rendering pipeline, and Mermaid diagram
• docs/design/README.md index for design documents
• GitHub issue templates (bug report and feature request) as YAML forms
• Changelog update instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md and PR template

Changed

• Menu items reordered to better reflect typical usage frequency; Time Travel icon promoted to the
  action bar so it's always one tap away
• Calibration dialog text rewritten for clearer guidance on when and how to calibrate
• Korean translations restored
• Play Store builds now upload AAB bundles instead of APKs, enabling Play Asset Delivery
  (addresses #618)
• Unnecessary permissions removed from the F-Droid variant; incomplete ISS tracking layer disabled
  pending a full implementation
  (addresses #602,
  #535)
• CI configuration overhauled: Gradle dependency caching added, emulator tests run on a supported
  API level, and flaky retry logic improved
• Migrated design documents from designdocs/ to docs/design/
• Enhanced tools/README.md with module overview
• Modernized PR template with type-of-change checklist
• Updated CLAUDE.md reference to docs/design/sensors.md

Removed

• Old single-file .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md (replaced by YAML forms)

Fixed

• NullPointerException crash in VertexBuffer.addPoint
• IllegalStateException when a dialog was shown after the activity had already saved its state
• ConcurrentModificationException in PolyLineObjectManager during concurrent rendering updates
• Moon angle calculation now correctly accounts for the Earth's axial tilt, so the lit side of the
  Moon is shown at the right angle
  (fixes #569)
• Several Messier catalog entries were misclassified, causing objects such as open clusters to
  render as featureless points; catalog data and fallback type logic corrected
• Navigation buttons overlapping layer controls on Android 15+ devices using three-button
  navigation, caused by the new mandatory edge-to-edge rendering
  (fixes #595)
