v1.9.4 - neowisehack (1510)

What's new (as uploaded)
Comet Neowise!
Note: Rather than calculate the comet's location at the current time, we instead show its position on half a dozen days over the next couple of weeks. Given that the comet will not be visible for long we felt implementing this quickly was the best solution.
Some translation fixes including Norwegian - thanks for all who contributed.
