Namaste friends,
Jagannatha Hora 7.1 is ready for downloading. This is the latest
version. It has some bug-fixes and improvements from the previous
version 7.03. The important ones are given below:
(1) Jagannatha Hora now works on Windows Vista. Earlier, it would
work on Vista, but the preferences could not be saved. The problem is
fixed now.
(2) US changed daylight saving time definition from 2007. The
previous version of JHora did not have the correct definition. So
standard time would be incorrectly used instead of daylight saving
time for some charts in March, the first few days of April and the
last few days of October. This is fixed in version 7.1 and daylight
saving time will be correctly calculated for 2007 and later years.
(3) Drigdasa of Parasara as explained in my Jyotish Digest article is
included. You can still use the drigdasa variation taught by some SJC
gurus (including me) in the last 10 years. However, I strongly
recommend using Parasara's drigdasa.
(4) Some more options are added in ayanamsa. Specifically, you can
use a variation of Chitrapaksha ayanamsa (aka Lahiri ayanamsa) that
uses the mean Sun-earth plane for projecting planetary positions,
instead of the normal oscillating Sun-earth plane. While we are
fixing the starting point of the zodiac in each ayanamsa, the plane
of the zodiac itself is oscillating in the regular ayanamsa
implementations. But the plane is also fixed in this variation. Look
for "Vishnunabhi plane (Chitrapaksha)" under the ayanamsa options. I
recommend that. It makes hardly any difference for natal charts (even
in divisional charts), but makes a difference in the divisional
charts of Tithi Pravesha charts.
(5) Some overlapping text in Kalachakra dasa and Tribhagi Vimsottari
dasa in the printouts is fixed.
