@wwtelescope/research-app-messages 0.21.0 (2026-04-28)

  • Add a render type field to research app sources so that we can only show relevant
    sources in the research app. Additionally, allow a source to be specified by lon/lat
    as well as RA/Dec to allow point selection in both sky and planet-like modes
    (#369, @Carifio24).

@wwtelescope/engine 7.34.0 (2026-04-28)

  • Distinguish between 'cancel' and 'close' buttons for closing simple
    input dialogs to allow fixing a web client issue where only one UI element
    receives the necessary click handler (#381, @Carifio24).
  • Update screen <--> world conversion methods to allow supporting 3D mode. Due to
    the non-injective nature of the screen -> world mapping in 3D, add a
    getRayForScreenPoint method to the WWTControl for use in 3D mode
    (#378, @Carifio24).
  • Export Planets3d functionality from the engine JavaScript package, but not
    expose it to TypeScript (#372, @Carifio24).
  • Update screen <--> world conversions and calculation of viewing frustum
    to also work in planet-like (Earth and Planet) modes (#369, @Carifio24).
  • Fix a bug in the calculation of rise, transit, and set times where RA was
    not being properly wrapped (#357, @johnarban).
  • Add pure2D member to 'TriangleList` to allow drawing triangles directly
    in clip space (#353, @Carifio24).
  • Fix issues in the behavior of the splitString utility function used when
    parsing coordinates (#352, @Carifio24).
  • Add an option to allow drawing a circle joining tick marks when drawing
    the ecliptic (#336, @Carifio24).

    drawn, this setting controls whether a circle connecting the ticks is drawn
    with it (#336, @Carifio24).

    to Pinia store to allow screen <--> world transformations in non-sky modes
    (#369, @Carifio24).
