1a4059f

The second alpha of the ASCOM Alpaca Simulators! This supports all Alpaca device types. As an Alpha expect ugly UI, UI bugs and even functional bugs.

Changes from alpha1

  1. Added link to swagger docs from home page
  2. Bound all device settings resets to --reset
  3. Fixed an issue with negative Latitude and Longitude in Telescope setup
  4. Matched Telescope UTC Date to Alpaca format
  5. Split CoverCalibrator settings into a Control and a Setup page
  6. Added settings range checks to Focuser, Dome, Rotator, CoverCalibrator
  7. Added an icon to the executable
  8. Cleaned up some startup logging
  9. Built Windows version without ReadToRun flag

The binaries can be started directly or from the command line. Either way they will display a terminal for output / testing. The beta builds will run in the background instead. These releases are simple zip / tar.xz files containing the output. For each the main binary is named ASCOM.Alpaca.Simulators.

Each OS dependent package was built as a Self Contained (does not require .Net 5.0 to be installed) and Trimmed (size reduced by removing unused platform code). Non Windows targets are Ready to Run AOT Compiled (whatever code can be fully compiled was).

This release includes Windows (x86 and amd64), Linux (amd64, armhf, and aarch64) and macOS amd64 (Intel or Rosetta 2) binaries.

The zip that ends with .Net 5.0 is a release build that is much smaller but it requires .Net 5.0 to be installed on the system. It can be unzipped and started by calling "dotnet .\ASCOM.Alpaca.Simulators.dll" or by running the exe on Windows.
