Download Jagannatha Hora 7.1 (build 2)

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

Some problems in JHora 7.1 released last week are fixed and JHora 7.1 (build 2)

is released now. I expect this release to be the stable release for a while now.

 

Some issues resolved are:

 

(1) Some default settings (e.g. ashtakavarga) were inadvertantly changed in the

previous version. They are fixed now. One of them was the language. The default

was changed from English to Telugu (my mother tongue). On some computers, there

is a problem installing the Indian language fonts. When that happens, the charts

look messed up because they try to use Telugu. Several people complained about

this. After installing build 2, your defaults should be restored to correct

values and charts should use English and look fine, even when font installation

failed.

 

(2) If you viewed divisional longitudes (like navamsa or dasamsa longitudes) in

the basic info view and then opened another chart, JHora 7.1 was crashing. It is

fixed now.

 

(3) I meant to add Chandra Hari ayanamsa, added it in the code but not fully. I

cut & pasted Deva-datta ayanamsa as Chandra Hari ayanamsa and did not edit the

formula. So the Chandra Hari ayanamsa in the previous 7.1 build was way off. It

is fixed now.

 

(4) Amsa ruling deities of D-20 were programmed incorrectly for planets in odd

signs in JHora until now (7.1 as well as prior versions). It is fixed now.

 

(5) JHora lets you find when a planet changes sign or nakshatra or navamsa. This

algorithm had a bug for Ketu and gave far-away dates. It is fixed now.

 

(6) Longitudes and nakshatras of varnadas and some points were wrongly displayed

in the basic info view earlier. They are fixed now.

 

(7) The speed of the program is improved from the previous 7.1 build.

 

(8) The six divisional charts you view in the " six chart " view are remembered

when you close and re-open the program.

 

(9) BTW, Surya Kalanala Chakra and Chandra Kalanala Chakra were added in 7.1.

You can refer to classics for their use. If I remember right, Jatakabharanam

mentions them. They will also be explained in my upcoming book " Tithi Pravesha:

Lunar Return Charts of Vedic Astrology " .

 

Please download build 2 of JHora 7.1 from

 

http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/jh

 

If you have 7.0x versions or the previous build of 7.1, you can upgrade to the

latest by just downloading the new JHora.exe file and copying it over your

existing JHora.exe file. This download is less than 1 MB and is the quickest way

to upgrade. The instructions can be found in the above page.

 

Regarding the Indian language font installation, one gentleman sent some

information. I am including it at the end of this mail.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

I faced the same problem on my pc (Win XP, off 2007, IE 7.0), it has

been rectified as follows:

 

1. Go to " Regional and Language Options " => " languages "

=> " Supplemental Language Support " => tick both of the " Install

files... " options => click " Apply " .

 

2. It will ask for Win-Xp-SP2 CD. Insert that and the fonts will be

D/L-ed.

 

3. " Restart " the system on prompt.

 

4...and Presto... it works - all fonts appear as they shd.

 

NB: For some odd reason it wasnt working with only the " install files

for complex script.. " option; have no idea why it started working

with inclusion of the " East Asian " options!

 

Brgds,
