With locales that have a character other than dot as a decimal separator, the generated SVG is messed up (due to a libxml2 bug) |

Credits
Astrognome was originally created by Jean-André Santoni, and was hosted on Google Code. The original project is now rewrote from scratch, using the SWE-GLib library (which is actually a wrapper around Swiss Ephemeris library). Several ideas come from the original project, and from others like Placidus and Aquarius2Go.
Hacking
The project is currently hosted on GitHub. Just fork the repo, make your changes and issue a pull request. Don't like GitHub? That's fine with me; in this case, clone the repo, and send your changes, and send me your modifications at gergely@polonkai.eu as a git-bundle or a patch (in this latter case, you should also mention which commit is your base).
The entire project is written in C, utilizing GTK+ (3.8 currently, but the final version may come only with 3.10) and SWE-GLib (which is used for the calculations part).
!!!WARNING!!!
The code is a bit messy yet, and displays calculated data only in a textual form. Graphics will be added later.
