Further deprecate the Astro::SpaceTrack celestrak( 'sts' ) and
spaceflight( 'shuttle' ) functionality by having them display a
warning on first use. The next step (warning on every use) will be
taken on or after July 22 2012.
Expand ranges passed to the search_oid() method, since the Space Track
API does not support them.
Bring Changes file into compliance with Test::CPAN::Changes. Add
author test xt/author/changes.t to be sure it remains so.
0.056 2011-12-18 T. R. Wyant
Validate search options -exclude and -status even if they come in
through the API in a hash, not just if they come in as
command-line-style arguments.
0.055 2011-11-28 T. R. Wyant
Update copy of GNU GPL in LICENSES/Copying to have current FSF
address.
Require Test::More 0.88 for testing.
Remove the Space Shuttle option from the SpaceTrackTk 'Human Space
Flight' dialog.
0.054 2011-07-21 T. R. Wyant
With the end of the U.S. Space Shuttle program, deprecate the
celestrak() 'sts' catalog and the spaceflight() 'SHUTTLE'
argument. The latter now does nothing, so we will not get 404
errors when the web page goes away.
0.053 2011-07-04 T. R. Wyant
Correct the URL for Mike McCants' Iridium status web page.
0.052 2011-04-12 T. R. Wyant
Add attribute scheme_space_track_attribute, defaulting to 'https'.
Also added LWP::Protocol::https as a dependency. Both in
response to USSTRATCOM going to a secure server some time in the
last 24 hours. Thanks to Thomas Wehr for diagnosing this, and
reporting both problem and solution.
0.051 2011-02-10 T. R. Wyant
Correct check for non-existent attribute in Astro::SpaceTrack getv()
method.
Update documentation of Mike McCants' status codes.
0.050 2010-10-12 T. R. Wyant
Remove the diagnostics inserted in 0.049_01.
0.049_01 2010-10-02 T. R. Wyant
_Really_ properly default the 'sort' retrieve option. Honest.
More voluminous diagnostics in t/query.t for spacetrack() CPAN
testers failures in 0.049.
0.049 2010-09-26 T. R. Wyant
Properly default the 'sort' retrieve option when options are
specified as a hash reference rather than as command-style
options.
0.048 2010-09-18 T. R. Wyant
Correct skip counts in t/query.t. Add xt/author/query_skip_sites.t
to try to ensure they don't get out of whack again.
0.047 2010-09-17 T. R. Wyant
Add Astro::SpaceTrack method getv() to do what get() should have
done -- return the attribute value without wrapping it in an
HTTP::Response object.
Add the -rcs option to the Astro::SpaceTrack search_*() methods, to
request that the radar cross-section data be hacked into the
name line of the TLE, in the same way that the effective date is
for Human Space Flight TLEs.
Complete rewrite of SpaceTrackTk, to incorporate all (or at least
the great majority) of the modern bells and whistles.
Update banner text to try to make clear that only Space Track
requires registration before use.
Update documentation to show all content_types.
Drop requirement for Params::Util.
Require Perl 5.6.2, since that is the earliest version I have a
prayer of actually supporting.
Move author tests from xt/ to xt/author.
0.046 2010-03-28 T. R. Wyant
Add methods search_decay(), search_oid(), and box_score().
Replace '' with undef in the array returned by the search_* methods
in list context. The HTTP::Response returned by these methods
is unchanged.
0.045_01 2010-03-22 T. R. Wyant
Add -notle option to the search_* methods. This causes them to
return the results of the search, rather than going on to
retrieve the TLEs. The results are one entry per line with
fields tab-delimited, and whitespace compressed and trimmed
front and back. No change in the list returned in list context,
except for the whitespace massaging.
0.045 2010-03-01 T. R. Wyant
Redo README to be more like the CPAN-recommended organization and
contents.
0.044_01 2010-02-22 T. R. Wyant
Move developer tests to xt/, and run them with Build target
authortest, supplied by inc/My/Module/Build.pm. The author tests
are not supported with make.
Split off the data acquisition tests from t/basic.t into t/query.t.
Both these, plus xt/celestrak_datasets.t and xt/executable.t
were rewritten to use Test::More 0.40, which is now required for
building (or at least testing!) the package.
Make some of the tests in t/query.t TODO, since they require
historical data, and Space Track seems to have had a database
problem.
Convert all code to the CPAN-recommended license scheme. Update all
copyrights while I was at it.
Make the version of all production code in the package (including
Astro::SpaceTrack::Parser, which was previously unversioned) to
be the same as the package itself.
Update the counts for the various debris events that are documented
in Astro::SpaceTrack.
0.044 2009-09-03 T. R. Wyant
Get rid of YAML dump in Build.PL, that was carelessly left in
after I convinced Module::Build not to insert itself as
required for configuration (because I also distribute
Makefile.PL
0.043 2009-09-01 T. R. Wyant
Add the retrieve() options to search_id(), which never had them
before.
Test the request arguments generated for each of the Space Track
methods, to try to make sure we do not lose them again.
0.042 2009-08-30 T. R. Wyant
Add the retrieve() options back to Space Track search requests.
These were lost in version 0.035 when Perl::Critic compliance
was added. Thanks to Thomas Wehr for finding this.
0.041 2009-08-18 T. R. Wyant
Add ability to parse effective date from NASA Human Spaceflight.
Add this to line 0 of the NASA TLE as --effective date_text.
This is optional, and done only if '-effective' is passed
to the spaceflight() method. The reason this was done was to
support the 'effective' attribute of Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE.
Thanks to Thomas Wehr for reporting the problem this addresses,
and T. S. Kelso for explaining what was needed to fix it.
0.040 2009-04-22 T. R. Wyant
Suppress undefined value warnings generated when username and
password are set via 'set' rather than via the relevant
environment variables when the object is instantiated.
0.039 2009-03-09 T. R. Wyant
Document Celestrak 'direct-fetch-only' data sets
'cosmos-2251-debris' and 'iridium-33-debris'.
Fix 'spaceflight' retrieval test, which failed if all NASA's
orbital elements had epochs in the future.
0.038 2009-02-13 T. R. Wyant
Correct parsing of Rod Sladen's Iridium status web page to
track the way he recorded the demise of Iridium 33.
Correct '## no critic' entries to put parens around names of
policies to be disabled.
Update t/perlcriticrc.
0.037 2009-01-01 T. R. Wyant
Retract copyright year test in t/basic.t
Update version and copyright in Astro::SpaceTrack. No other
changes.
0.036 2008-12-31 T. R. Wyant
Revise Celestrak retrieval status check to get (hopefully) a
better indication of what happened when retrieval failed.
Add dependency on Params::Util 0.012; use _INSTANCE from that
module, rather than eval{$thing->isa($class)}.
Use IO::File rather than FileHandle to open files.
Include t/critic.t (Test::Perl::Critic) and t/perlcriticrc
in distribution, but only test if environment variable
DEVELOPER_TEST is true.
Remove '## no critic' flags in code, which are not needed at
the desired severity (--stern) if run with the distributed
t/perlcriticrc file.
0.035 2008-12-23 T. R. Wyant
When using Rod Sladen's data for Iridium status, mark all
'failed' iridiums as tumbling, whether or not there is
a 't' next to their numbers. This makes the Sladen data
consistent with Mike McCants' (as of 22-Dec-2008) and
T. S. Kelso's.
Bring all code up to perlcritic --stern (sometimes by
declaring exceptions)
Restructure Build.PL and Makefile.PL to better accomodate
the installed version of Module::Build or
ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
Add minimum Perl version to 'requires' key in Build.PL.
Not done in Makefile.PL because ExtUtils::MakeMaker
does not seem to like it.
Include t/celestrak_datasets.t, t/executable.t,
t/iridium_status.t, t/manifest.t, and
t/spacetrack_datasets.t in distribution, but only run
them if environment variable DEVELOPER_TEST is true.
Move changes from Astro::SpaceTrack pod to Changes file.
t/basic.t will now display net errors where generated and
(hopefully) appropriate.
0.034 2008-11-24 T. R. Wyant
Eliminate use of UNIVERSAL::isa as a function.
Add 'Pragma spacetrack-source = ' header to all methods
that return TLEs or Iridium status, saying where
the data came from.
Add content_source() method to access spacetrack-source
header.
Try for less bad test coverage. Good coverage awaits a
rewrite of the shell() method.
0.033 2008-09-30 T. R. Wyant
Fix Build.PL -y (and -n)
Add iridium_status('sladen') to scrape Rod Sladen's Iridium
Constallation Status web page.
Add attribute 'url_iridium_status_sladen'.
0.032 2008-07-06 T. R. Wyant
More graceful failure when unable to parse Space Track data.
0.031 2007-12-21 T. R. Wyant
Fix embedded modifier bug, exposed by the fixing of the
corresponding Perl bug (id=22354) in 5.10.0 -- or 5.9.0
actually. Thanks to Andy Lester's article:
http://perlbuzz.com/mechanix/2007/12/code-broken-by-regex-fixes-in.html
which tipped me off before I had to discover the problem
for myself.
Fixed dependencies in Makefile.PL and Build.PL.
Went back to prompting for executables in Makefile.PL and
Build.PL, as a way to handle apparant ActiveState build
failure because both they and I were running pl2bat.bat.
Enhance ExtUtils::MakeMaker version detection in Makefile.PL,
since ActiveState is apparantly deploying a Perl 5.10
with a development version of that module.
0.030 2007-10-24 T. R. Wyant
Add Celestrak 'sts' data set name to catalog.
Different error text for data sets in catalog but 404 and data sets
not in catalog and 404.
0.029 2007-10-13 T. R. Wyant
Add Celestrak galileo and sbas data set names to catalog.
Document celestrak data set names, or at least how to get them and
in general how they are formed.
Trap and error out on invalid spacetrack() data set numbers.
Add data set numbers to spacetrack() help.
Document how to get the current spacetrack data set names and
numbers, and what happens if they renumber.
Trap case where 'get' is called without an argument.
Have 'shell' method interpret 'show' as 'get', and special-case
'get' without arguments to display all attributes. Document
this.
0.028 2007-05-15 T. R. Wyant
Interpret missing spacetrack() catalog as a failure,
even though the request succeeds.
Ditto missing Space Track retrieve() data.
Add 'fallback' attribute to cause celestrak() to fall
back to using Celestrak data if Space Track data
are not available.
Clear session cookie when username or password change.
0.027 2007-01-30 T. R. Wyant
Add ability to search by on-orbit status ('onorbit',
'decayed', or 'all'), and to exclude 'debris' and
'rocket' (bodies).
Tweak docs.
Update copyright.
0.026 2006-11-06 T. R. Wyant
New location for Mike McCants' Iridium status page.
New attributes url_iridium_status_kelso and
url_iridium_status_mccants so users are not dead
in the water if this happens again.
0.025 2006-10-19 T. R. Wyant
Recognize new Kelso Iridium status '[+]' = working.
Make Makefile.PL not run Build.PL with old MakeMaker.
Retract kluge to Build.PL, which is no longer needed.
0.024 2006-09-12 T. R. Wyant
No substantive changes to this module, but retracted
t/pod_spelling.t, and tried to make Build.PL work with
ActiveState's build system.
0.023 2006-09-08 T. R. Wyant
Added spaceflight() pseudo-catalogs 'iss' and 'station'.
Have spaceflight() return NO_RECORDS on failure, not
NO_CAT_ID.
Have attribute_names() return list ref in scalar context.
Add attribute iridium_status_format; have iridium_status()
use this to decide who to access and what format to
return, including support for the new Celestrak status
information.
Have iridium_status() return parsed data with 'portable'
status if called in list context.
0.022 2006-07-20 T. R. Wyant
