* Removed workaround code (now normalized values: [0,1])
* Pending: marker sync issue (see previous commit)

* Using fixed initializations instead of GUI values (required for consistency)
* Added missing initializations
* Fixed coordinate system and angle transformations (GUI vs. physics)
* Fixed trigonometry blunder (deg vs. rad)
* Also: optimized camera updates
* Also: more comments
* Pending: marker increasingly out of sync (over time)

* For change of backgroundRole to take effect
* Works without on KDE 4 though

* Required when menu is hidden
* Also: using shortcuts retrieved from widgets (not hardcoded)

* Alternative shortcuts are required when menu is hidden
  -> Actions won't be trigged otherwise
  -> Save/restore widget visibility states
  -> Shortcuts pending for actions: run, pause, stop
* Black window background when in fullscreen mode
* Also: finally implemented menu hide feature
* Also: added license info to about dialog

* Marker was invisible due to erratic pulse profile values (remove workaround when fixed!)
* Improved updates of profile and marker items

* Fixed item handling (store them on heap)
* Removed scope axes
* Vertical size now determined by marker/pulse (normalized to 1)
* Removed dummy data
* FIXME: marker not visible despite higher z-layer

* Actual values still have to be verified (likely to be wrong)
* Pulse profile emitted via signal (connected to scope widget)

* Increased texture size to 2048x2048
* What about tiling? Is it worth it?

* Looks much nicer in conjunction with 3D part
* Matches cones

* Basic curve rendring (still using mock data vector)
* Basic axes: no ticks, no labels -> no Qwt ;-)
* Marker showing current pulse phase (normalized to one pulsar spin period)
* Communication with OpenGL widget

* Added companion classes (radio buttons)
* Added pulsar mass (slider)
* Added pulsar semi major axis (slider)
* Removed orbital frequency/radius sliders (calculated from mass ratio and/or semi major axis)
* Showing separate orbital plane visuals for pulsar and companion
* Using fixed size for orbital plane visuals (gives a feeling for radii/distances)

Also:
* Extended frustum's z-far plane
* Using dedicated quadric for companion (why did it work without?)

Note:
* Semi major axis is adjusted when mass ratio is changed (via then fixed orbital period)
* Semi major axis is capped at 1 AU and 20 AU

* Polished labels/units
* Added more status tips
* Added view option: Rotation Axes (instead of activation just during mouse interaction)
* Added Run/Pause/Stop button states
* Added preliminary About dialog

* Twice the size for more details during zoom
* Still not perfect due to object linear mapping

* Pending: rotation not in sync with axes
* Pending: spin and magnetic axes not in sync (need decoupling)

* Also: added missing parameter initializers (based on GUI settings, removed independent ones)
* Also: factored out parameter reset method

* Only when available of course
* Uses highest number of buffers by default

* TODO: alpha blending doesn't seem to work
* Also: decreased camera zoom (zoom should be called distance...)

* Better efficiency (of course one timer is sufficient!)
* Less complexity, higher accuracy (just compute the actual rotations!)
