What's new in version 7.10.9
The first working 64-Bit Windows edition of Agena has been uploaded. See the SourceForge Binaries/Agena 7.10.9 folder, files agena-7.10.9-win64-portable.7z and agena-7.10.9-win64-setup.exe. The edition works fully on Windows 10 and 11. It also runs on Windows 8.1 but you cannot use the gdi and fractals packages there. Arithmetic, text and table processing stress tests show that compared to the 32-bit Windows edition, the 64-bit release is around twice as fast with real arithmetic and basic Calculus, 30% faster with simple Linear Algebra, and around 33% faster with string search-and-replace-based operations. Table read and write operations have become at least twice as fast. In addition, you can use vastly more memory.
keyfile.open did not open files in read mode when given 'r' or 'read' as a second argument, also sometimes causing problems with astro.locate. This has been fixed.
The astro location database index file has been reduced in size by 15%, or 1.1 MBytes.
