Is available for download from 
http://homepage.mac.com/kd6cji/OrbitaX_b03.dmg

This is a direct link and I will update web page early next week.

What is new in this version?

OrbitaX was rewritten to use plug in architecture for radio and rotor 
controllers.
Protocol and sample Xcode project for radio plugin and rotor plugin 
will be posted on my web page when I get around to update it, meanwhile 
if you are interesting in writing plugins for your radio/rotor contact 
me and I will provide all necessary information. As a result there is 
more work to do to install application. You will need to drag plugins 
to /Library/Application Support/OrbitaX folder. Plugins for FT100D, 
FT847, TH-D7 and RX2 are provided with this release.

Other changes: some changes in preference panes, ability to select 
custom map, some changes in map display.
Also added "Speakable Name" column to tracking list. If filled, will be 
used as spoken name for satellite, else default name will be used.
State of the application is saved upon exit (autotracking, map and 
details drawers).

That is all for now.
