Changes for version 0.064 - 2012-09-05

  • Add REST support for as many of the spacetrack() bulk data sets as I can figure out. The analysis is in Astro::SpaceTrack::BulkData. The default -status for a REST query is now 'onorbit'. The default for version 1 queries remains 'all'. Space Track REST queries now use the 'tle_latest' class unless historical data are needed, as indicated by use of -start_epoch, -end_epoch, -since_file, or some -status other than 'onorbit'. Add 'time' and 'olist' meta-commands to the shell() method. The latter is experimental, and may go away. Eliminate superfluous REST queries issued by search_name() and search_oid(). These were introduced in 0.060_07. Suppress appending of '--rcs' to the common name by the REST interface when RCSVALUE is null. Fix problem with merging names from an observing list into JSON REST data.
