Changelog:

Mit der Google Earth-Komponente Moon haben Sie tolle Möglichkeiten:

* Lassen Sie sich von Apollo-Astronauten an Landeplätzen herumführen.
* Sehen Sie sich 3D-Modelle von gelandeten Raumfahrzeugen an.
* Zoomen Sie Fotos mit einem Blickwinkel von 360 Grad heran und entdecken Sie die Fußspuren der Astronauten.
* Sehen Sie sich seltene TV-Aufnahmen der Apollo-Missionen an.

Changelog:

# 3D Buildings: OpenGL mode performance is improved. Buildings are streamed in smoother, and low memory situations are handled better.
# Tours: Make flyto and tour paths smoother by fixing several cases for jitters and unexpected jumps in camera path. Improve tour creation so that the tour path has smooth interpolation. On pause, open balloons are left open instead of closing them. Support generating tours from nested folders of placemarks.
# Collada Models: Enhance collada model handling to work when Multiple resources associated with same model. Improve handling of animated textures on the models.
# Pro Movie Maker: Fix movie maker to work well in presence of animated water surface. Fix holes seen in high resolution movies. Fix bugs in creating large AVI movies. Fix a crash while recording movies. Fixed high resolution movie creation in cases where it would distort view.
# Fix installation failure on 64 bit linux machines related to linking against wrong version of libssl.
# Improved culling of objects near poles.
# Fix the case where Earth kept continuously updating after a tour was finished.
# Fix handling of drag and drop in left menu between folders.
# Remove occasional spurious scrollbars in balloons.
# Fix holes in high resolution movies and printing. Fix tears in high resolution image save and print when animated water was in view.
# Fix a crash in switching to Mars from photo view.
# Fix Mars atmosphere for some graphics cards so that it shows up with red color instead of blue now.
# Show appropriate historical imagery tickmarks when zoomed way in.
# Fix cases that let sound continue playing even after a balloon was closed or tour was paused.
# Fix text clustering when eye is below water.
# Fix a crash on shutdown.

* Improved memory utilization in the application.
* Significantly smoother frame-rate and less stuttering in the application compared to previous releases.
* Improved performance with large region based network link KML documents. Some of large KML documents are now processed and rendered at more than twice the speed of earlier releases.
* Improved KML document handling performance. Large regionated KML Image overlays are up to 80% faster than previous releases.
* Support for KML hint = moon or mars to switch to moon or mars based on kml document.
* Availability of one installer that installs both the Google Earth application and browser plugin.
