-===== 2.0.2.2634 =====
+===== 2.0.8 (2890) =====
+  - Fixed error where numbers in exponent format (e.g. 3.34e-6) weren't properly translated
+  - Added Spherical Calculations to the Gravitational Masses menu
+Spherical Calculations allow you to determine: radius, circumference, surface area and volume when all you know is just one of these.
+===== 2.0.7 (2888) =====
+  - added ability to get escape velocity in km/s, m/s and mile/s in the Gravitation and Motion screen
+===== 2.0.6 (2872) =====
+  - Added new 'Acceleration' menu
+  - Added ability to calculate any one of Distance, Speed or Time from the other two
+  - Added ability to calculate Free Fall characteristics (velocity, height) from host mass and duration of fall
+  - Added ability to calculate and/or convert constant acceleration parameters (initial velocity, final velocity, rate of acceleration, time and displacement)
+  - Added ability to calculate position of centre of gravity in an n-body system in 3D space
+  - Fixed issue where certain conversion functions didn't handle division by zero correctly
+  - Updated Lagrange Points help file with animation
+===== 2.0.5 (2843) =====
+  - Added ability to calculate Schwartzschild and Photon Sphere radii based on mass
+  - Added ability to calculate Synodic Period of two orbiting objects based on orbital distances and mass of central body
+  - Added ability to calculate Synodic Period of two orbiting objects based on their orbital periods
+===== 2.0.4 (2796) =====
+  - Added ability to calculate Hohmann transfer orbits
+  - Added ability to calculate distance between two stars based on stellar coordinates
+===== 2.0.3 (2638) =====
+  - increased precision and reliability of calculations in two-body orbits
+===== 2.0.2 (2634) =====
   - fixed an error in the **Satellite Footprint from Altitude** computations
   - Added **Visibility Over Horizon** to the **Other** menu, to determine the greatest distance at which an object is visible after taking into consideration the curvature of the planet, the elevation of the object and the height of the observer.
