Build 05-Dec-2006
Changes:
- Galaxies catalogue and support added

- UTF-8 urlencoding on search bug fixed (using encodeURIComponent() function insted of old one escape()), allowing to search objects by names with non-ascii characters, like "α Cen" or "Ανδρομέδα"
- workaround on bug in mozilla/firefox browsers of truncating text to 4096 bytes retrieved by xml method text = xmlElement.firstChild.data. The work around is: text = (xmlElement.textContent) ? xmlElement.textContent : xmlElement.firstChild.data.
