Changes for version 0.133 - 2025-06-02

  • Add method next_elevation_extreme_tod(). This is analogous to next_elevation(), but returns the earliest (or latest) time the body passes the given elevation after the currentlt-set time -- or nothing if there is none. It really is only useful for computing earliest or latest Sunrise or Sunset, but is present on Astro::Coord::ECI for architectural reasons (meaning my architecture is flawed, but that can't be changed now).
  • Don't set iridium_status_format when instantiating an Astro::SpaceTrack object in script/satpass.
  • Uppdates ro canned magnitude table.
  • Add SECURITY policy.
