Changes for version 0.018_01 - 2014-05-02
- Require Astro::Coord::ECI (etc) 0.063. Drop default template documentation, which was only intended for informational purposes. Instead, we document how to extract the default templates. Add support for magnitudes. This involves:
- Add a pass_variant attribute so we can ask for the brightest moment in the pass.
- Add a -brightest option to pass() to override pass_variant, so that the interface is at least semi-consistent.
- Modify the value formatter's magnitude() formatter so that, if there is no {magnitude} key in the thing being formatted, but there is a magnitude() method on the body, that method is called and the result formatted.
- Modify the template for pass() to check to see whether PASS_VARIANT_BRIGHTEST is set, and if so add a magnitude column to the report. The last point above required a number of supporting changes:
- Add a want_pass_variant() convenience method to return true if the specific variant is wanted.
- Pass the Astro::App::Satpass object as the sp variable to Template Toolkit from the pass() method (and other non- formatter() methods) so that the template can see if the brightest moment is being requested.
- use [% UNLESS data %] instead of [% DEFAULT data = ... %] in all templates, since it appears that the latter evaluates the right-hand side of the expression even if it does not use the value. This essentially causes each template to do a default calculation (with possible errors) whose result is thrown away.
- Permit initialization with special files. The idea is to allow /dev/null. Document the pass_threshold attribute, which was introduced in version 0.000_38 (2012-01-19!) but somehow not documented then. Use of the Astro::App::Satpass2 'lit' attribute now produces an error. Suppress errors on pass events which have a numeric value but no defined selector. The event is not reported.
