Changes for version 0.014

  • Astro::Coord::ECI 0.014 Add equinox_dynamical attribute; precess() now uses this as start point and leaves the time alone. It is also used when going from ECI to ECEF, and set to the current time when going from ECEF to ECI. Add global $EQUINOX_TOLERANCE to determine minimum precession when converting from ECI to ECEF. Add method equinox_dynamical for performance. Document dynamical and universal times. Add method precess_dynamical() to precess to the given dynamical time. The precess() method simply converts its argument to dynamical and delegates to this. Astro::Coord::ECI::Moon 0.004 Have model set equinox_dynamical attribute to modeled dynamical time. Astro::Coord::ECI::Star 0.004 Set equinox_dynamical attribute before precessing to current equinox. Precess coordinates at end of time_set(), not in middle. Astro::Coord::ECI::Sun 0.006 Have model set equinox_dynamical attribute to modeled dynamical time. Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 0.10 Add backdate attribute (default: true) to control whether pass() uses elements before their epoch. Use the alias() mechanism for special-case settings of the illum attribute. Have models set equinox_dynamical to the dynamical epoch. Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium 0.003 Have backdate attribute control whether flare() uses elements before their epoch. Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set 0.003 Minor documentation tweaks and POD fixes. Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils 0.008 Add constant JD_OF_EPOCH, globals $DATEFORMAT and $JD_GREGORIAN, and subroutines date2jd, date2epoch, epoch2datetime, jd2date, jd2datetime. Add subroutine load_module and centralize all on-the-fly loading here, for support of .pmc modules. bin/satpass 0.014 Add 'echo' and 'times' commands. Add 'backdate' parameter, propagate to pass() and flare(). Add 'desired_equinox' parameter, use it when displaying inertial coordinates (only equatorial, at the moment). Allow pseudo-redirection of command output into a pipe.
