No. But they may be updated in the next version of SpaceEngine.
In the meantime you can create own scripts for newly discovered exoplanets.

And you should not repeatedly ask the same question in different threads.

Thanks Jack!  If one were to create a script for newly discovered exoplanets, how would they be able to create the 3D textures to display them in the program, rather than just place a marker?

A-L-E-X,
You can find instructions on how to create addons here.

Source of the post Is it possible that the terrestrial exoplanets in SE can have a combined set of large shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes AND fold mountains? I believe I found such one world at RS 8474-1792-7-1182176-266 A5

Nice find!

Thanks Jack.  I really like the search feature in SE but I could not find the most extreme redshifted objects like GN-z11 and distant GRBs, so I can try to add them with those?  Also, I have the Tycho star catalog from Starry Night Pro Plus, could that also be added to SE?  It would add many times more stars than what are available with the Hipparcos catalog.

You can try.

More info on the catalogs

Thanks, Jack.  Will the other very distant objects be implemented in the next release?  Also, will the Tycho and Tycho-2 Catalogs be implemented- that would increase the number of real stars from over 100,000 to over 2 million!  I believe the data is freely available.

A-L-E-X, are you using some special combination of colors/fonts with your browser? Copy-pasting the internet like this it makes unreadable your posts.
It would be much more effective to simply link the original pages.

Sorry for going off-topic, but am i the only one thinking this thread doesn't belong in the News and Announcement forum?

Just to double check so I know for sure; are the style ranges in the palette.cfg file linked in anyway to a planet's temperature (such as 0 = scorched and 1.0 = frozen)? Or something else? Or is it procedurally randomized?

Are the atmosphere colours calculated based on the composition and other factors, or is it random?

EDIT: I found the answer from the manual. No they are not, they are calculated from other factors though, like pressure. 

I am thinking of starting a small games company and am wondering if there are any  details about what Vladimir plans to do with the SDK - i.e. how much of the engine we will be able to lease etc.?

Hey, do you mind if I ask what manual did you find this in? Is there another more detailed manual than the readme from docs folder or the quickstart in this site? Thanks.

The manual is here.

The specific answer to my question is in the planets modding section: http://spaceengine.org/manual/making-addons/creating-a-planet/

"SpaceEngine can compute Density, MolarMass, Adiabat and Greenhouse based on atmosphere composition"
