Release ZET 7 2003.12.01

Enhanced definitions of aspect configurations - added five-planet configuration (Wreath), and the facility for users to add to the Description text for three- and four-planet configurations. Description of aspect configuration has the Theme code AC. A sample text (from the "New Astrological Encyclopedia", file Txt\AspConfigE.txt) is included in the update. Decriptions are only operative interactively; they are not included in the full horoscope interpretation text.
Added option for setting the color for illuminating aspect configurations on the chart wheel (Chart Settings, Color tab).

Added an option "Solar, Lunar before event" (General Settings window, General tab). If this option is ON, then solar and lunar charts are calculated for a moment preceding the time of the event data (the time of event is set in the background data). If OFF, the nearest event in time is calculated.
The first mode (preceding time) is set automatically for the Rectification Wizard using the built-in method of condensations.
The latter mode is more convenient in some cases when rectifying by hand.
(Pro) Added facility to include a signature into the interpretation document. The signature of the user/astrologer is stored in a file "Language\...\signature.txt". An example signature:
Anatoly Zaytsev: anatoly@zaytsev.com

[SU.AS] Sun on an Ascendant
(Geo) Modified Astro*Carto*Graphy tableau to feature mouse-sensitivity for the full length of ACG lines, i.e. dynamic tooltip help is available when pausing the mouse pointer over any part of an ACG line.

Release ZET 7 2003.11.22

New feature: Event searching. See the Toolbar "Miscellaneous" button, "Search for Event" option, which opens the "Search for Event" window (similar to the "Looking for a Chart" window for searching a database for a chart according to some criteria).
For example, to find the dates in the 20th century when Saturn was conjunct to Uranus, you need to set
- the hit criterion: Saturn.[0-1].Uranus (the formula for conjuction with 1 degree orb),
- the range of dates for the search: 1.01.1900 - 31.12.2000,
- the search repetition interval: 24 h.
The result is displayed in a new window. The above search yields the following list of dates:
  19.04.1942 0:00
  24.01.1988 0:00
  26.05.1988 0:00
  13.09.1988 0:00
Note that these are dates of occurrence within orb, not dates of exact aspect.
New feature: Aspect configurations recognizing. To include this feature, check the option "Configurations of Aspects" in the "Chart Settings" window, "Misc." tab. Configurations found in a chart are listed below the planets list. Predefined configurations include:
- 3-planetary configurations: Grand Trine, T-Square, Bisextile, etc.,
- 4-planetary: Grand Cross,
- 6-planetary: Star of David.
To illuminate the configuration within the chart wheel, pause the mouse pointer over an item in the listed configurations.
The available predefined configurations are contained in the file Language\ ...\AspConfig.lst, which can be freely edited.
New feature: Display the reception of planets by sign and exaltation. To include them in the tableau (they appear below the planets list), check the option "Reception" in the "Chart Settings" window, "Main" tab
The planets list can now display the triplicity ruler. To include this item, check the option "Ruler of Triplicity" in the "Chart Settings" window, "Main" tab
Added the interpretation Theme type "Progression of planets on houses of radix". The text code is PRH. An example of header sectoring of a Book with this Theme would be:
[2.1] Progressed Moon on the first house of radix
Fixed bug which occurred when right-clicking the mouse on a planet-star aspect
Fixed a bug in the calculation of Avestian Affetic (by P.P.Globa)
Fixed bug of Lilly's affetic calculation
Lilly's Affetics can now be drawn as graphic bars in the planets list
The Lilly's Affetic breakdown for individual planets is now divided into essential and accidental dignities sections
A new type of "Stellar" virtual object has been added (code G). This makes it possible to define, for example, Galactic Center, Sun Apex. The parameters of these objects (these lines can be added directly to file Language\ ...\Virtuals.lst):
```
 ; ;130;;Galactic Center;;; 17h 45m 40.0383s;-29° 00' 28.069"; 0; 0; 0; 0; 999.99;G;
 ; ;140;;Sun Apex;;; 18h 0m 0s; 30° 0' 0"; 0; 0; 0; 0; 999.99;G;
```
New hotkeys for switching aspecting modes:

- inner - outer (F7)
"Autoselect Orb Table" checkbox toggle (F8)
The retained list of search objects ("Find Object" window) has been moved out of the configuration files into a separate "find.txt" file

The "Birth Data" window: in "Return" mode, the button "Execute" is now available, allowing you to set a year of return in the background data.
Swiss Ephemerides data for the main asteroids are now available for any date, not just for 1800-2400.
English translations for some items in the menu of the diagram of aspects have been made.
The insertion of names of the partners in the text of relationships is realized.
The absence, in some cases, of the presentation of a monthly forecast has been corrected.
Presentation of aspect lines between North Node in the inner chart and South Node in the outer one has been restored.

Release ZET 7 2002.11.24

Error in the monthly forecast from the Horoscope Wizard (aka Guide) window.
Calculation of the True Black Moon (osculated apogee of lunar orbit) is improved.
Calculation of the average lunar node is improved.
Calculation of the elements of orbits of planets is improved.
Error in the demonstration database Main2, in the Marilyn Monroe data (the time zone should be GMT-8, the corrected file is in the update package).
Error when displaying planet degree on the chart, for example, coordinate 12°59'38" was displayed as 14, instead of 13 (just to remind you, numbering of degrees as whole numbers begins with the first).
Error in the set of files in the Txt folder - two identical files:
1) Engl. Ebertin. Transit Aspects.txt,
2) Engl. Reinhold Ebertin_Transit_Aspects.txt.
The second of these has been removed.

The order of presentation of the monthly forecast - now by date of the beginning of the aspect (was - by aspected natal planet).
The format for presentation of the period of action of the aspect in the text of the monthly forecast has changed: For example, instead of "Trine Saturn - Jupiter (from the beginning of month on December, 14 4:00)" you now get "Trine Saturn - Jupiter (on December, 14 4:00)" and instead of "Sextile Mercury - Uranus (since December, 31 4:00 on the end of month)" you now get "Sextile Mercury - Uranus (since December, 31 4:00)".

Calling the "Monthly Forecast" function from the "Texts" menu.
Opportunity to extract data from a database in the Horoscope Wizard (aka Guide) window.
Codes for asteroids in the sectoring of interpretation texts. Enter these as follows:
A<asteroid number>
where A - the letter,
<asteroid number> - asteroid's catalog number.
For example, A1 - Ceres, A2 - Pallas, A3200 - the Phaeton, etc.
So the code [A1.02] in the text "Planets in Signs" means "Ceres in Taurus".

Release ZET 7 2002.11.17

Error in issuing planet orbital elements in the sidereal Zodiac.
Error in the calculation of planet revolution in the horizontal coordinate system.
Error in the previous update - absence of Atlas popup menu.

Small additions to the Uranian functions. For computation of the points WI, MC, AS, it is recommended to define three parses:
1) The formula: 0, the name: Vernal Point, symbol: Aries mark, interpreter code: WI
2) The formula: H10, the name: MC, symbol: MC, interpreter code: MC
3) The formula: H1, the name: ASC, symbol: Asc, interpreter code: AS
Small additions to "Searching by criterion" functionality: macros and variables, search of a given line, input of comments, syntax control in the criterion formula, and some other improvements.
Method of calculating houses in a progression, whereby MC is shifted by one degree per one year, the other cusps graduated accordingly.
Access to selection of Synastry from the history of calculations.
The "Quick Viewing" option on the "Database" window menu has been retained.
Function for mass horoscope reading from a database (special access).

Release ZET 7 2002.11.07

Error in the previous update resulting in dump of the registration license for the ACS atlas
Error in the previous update resulting in the impossibility of connecting to the Swiss ephemeris in the catalog of asteroids

Method of calculating houses in a progression when MC is shifted by the arc between progressed and natal Suns, the others cusps graduated according to MC. Now in the window "Natal chart setup" there is a group "Home in progression", consisting of items "Solar arc from MC" and "Fast (real) Houses". The second item is the former method of calculation when progressed houses move similarly to the planets, by agreement with progressively scaled time.
All functions for updating Geo-modification are included, the required data files are modified, reception of applications for this update is open. See the description of the installation procedure on the "Downloads" page.
The "Input of birth data" window: when switching to the background data the font color used in data fields is blue.
Triggering effect for the "Blank" shortcut key: when first pressed - go to the empty screen, when next pressed - return to the previous screen.
In the ZET distribution kit the utility "Database Converter" has been added which allows you to carry out direct and reverse conversion of databases in Solar Fire (*.cht - only direct), Quick*Chart (*.qck), JigSaw (*.dat), and ZET (*.zbs) file formats.
The "Database" window: a meu item "Import - Export" has been added to call the ZETDBC.EXE "Database Converter" utility.
