Namaste,

 

In case it wasn't clear, it can be downloaded from my website listed below, in

the signature. The specific link is

 

http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/jh

 

Other mirror sites like SJC website may soon be updated with the latest JHora.

But the above link will always be upto date.

 

If you want to get access to alpha and beta releases of future trial versions

much before the formal release, please to jhora . For

example, there were 5 trial releases made on that between formal

releases 7.32 and 7.33.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

Update to Jagannatha Hora 7.33

 

 

Namaste friends,

 

I am pleased to release Jagannatha Hora 7.33. This is the best, most stable,

most complete and most bug-free version of JHora released so far. Everybody

should update to this version. If you have version 7.3 or a later version, the

update to 7.33 is only 1 MB in size.

 

There are several improvements and bug-fixes. Some of them are listed below:

 

(1) Jagannatha Hora uses "Swiss Ephemeris" as the planetary calculation

engine. The Swiss Ephemeris DLL used by JHora was version 1.64.01 from *June

2002*. It is updated now to version 1.76 from "April 2009*. This brings in

several bug-fixes and improvements made in Swiss Ephemeris since June 2002. A

notable improvement occurred in version 1.70, where they improved the

calculation algorithms to satisfy the latest IAU recommendations. They made the

precession model more accurate among other things. For modern dates, this

improvement in accuracy makes a difference of a less than a fraction of arc-sec.

In fact, for dates after 1000 BC, the difference is less than 1 arc-sec. So it

does not matter much. However, for really old dates (e.g. Krishna's chart), this

can make a difference of several arc-min in some planets (especially Moon),

which can change some divisional charts sometimes. In addition to this

improvement in accuracy, several minor bugs, including some in eclipse times,

were also fixed.

 

(2) Weekday and kaala bala of shadbala were miscalculated in old versions of

JHora for dates older than 1830 AD. This is fixed now.

 

(3) In computing SAV, there is an option now to add eight ashtakavargas

instead of seven.

 

(4) Varjya and durmuhurta are added in panchanga. A portion is each nakshatra

is marked as varjya (avoidable) and a portion of each weekday is marked as

durmuhurta (bad time) and they are avoided traditionally in muhurtas.

 

(5) Panchanga calculations erroneously showed asterisk on several times

sometimes. It is fixed and panchanga page is accurate now.

 

(6) Vimsottari dasa based on divisional longitudes is fixed.

 

(7) Ketu's nakshatra transit in mundane tab is fixed now.

 

(8) Saturn/Ketu exception is restored in antardasas of old style SJC drigdasa.

This was erroneously removed when Parasara's drigdasa was added.

 

(9) Chara dasa of Iranganti Rangacharya is fixed now. This was coded by

Shanmukha Teli, who becomes the first person other than me to do coding for

JHora (thank you Shanmukha!).

 

(10) You can resize various frames and save the sizes and use them in future.

Check "Preferences related to display".

 

(11) A menu was added in "View" to show current preference settings (jhora.ini

file content). If users reporting problems can send this file to me, it will

help me use the same settings and reproduce problems that occur with specific

combination of preference settings and debug them.

 

(12) Warning: There is a nisheka/aadhaana chakra feature, but it is still a

work in progress. It is unreliable. Do not use it now. It will be improved in

future.

 

There are several other minor bug-fixes and improvements.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

Dear PVR ji, Thank you for your great effort and contribution. Thanks to Shanmukha ji too for participating in such a tapasya. All the best for all your future endeavors as well. ==>Chara dasa of Iranganti Rangacharya is fixed now. This was coded by Shanmukha Teli, who becomes the first person other than me to do coding for JHora (thank you Shanmukha!).<== This contribution and dedication is incomparable! A single person dedicating more than 10 years regularly for creating such a great software with uncanny flexibility and donating it to the world for free cannot be termed anything else but tapasya! I don't know much about Shanmukha ji - but I wonder whether he is one of the major brains and coders behind mindsutra astro softwares as well or not?! Love and regards,Sreenadh

Dear Sreenadh Ji,

 

My contribution to JHora is very minimum. Sri Narasimha must be blessed for

doing such a wonderful work and inspiring students like me to study this

wonderful science. In fact, without his wonderful software, I can't think of

learning Astrology, so are many.

 

I am not connected with Mindsutra.com. The mastermind behind mindsutra was Sri

D.K.Sen, one of the finest astrologers, excelled in Jaimini System. It is really

a loss for our fratenrity to loose him much early.

 

Warm Regards,

Shanmukha

Dear Shanmukha ji, //Sri Narasimha must be blessed for doing such a wonderful work// True! Mindsutra seems to be a wonderful organization doing good amount of creative work. Did Sri D.K.Sen ji wrote any books? Note: For the benefit of others: Here is an url to one of the articles by Sri D.K.Sen: http://www.scribd.com/doc/5999102/Timing-of-Events-By-Using-Various-Jaimini-Rashi-Dashas Love and regards,Sreenadh , "Shanmukha" <teli_sha2002 wrote:>> Om Namah Siavaya> > Dear Sreenadh Ji,> > My contribution to JHora is very minimum.
