Changes for version 0.024

  • General Require Test::More 0.40 for testing. Astro::Coord::ECI 0.024 Increment version. No other changes. Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 0.018 Add methods semiminor(), apoapsis(), apogee(), periapsis(), and perigee. Add 'effective' attribute, with logic in the parse() method to parse Astro::SpaceTrack --effective date out of line 0 of the TLE. Thanks to Thomas Wehr for reporting the problem this addresses, and T. S. Kelso for explaining what was needed to fix it. Add method max_effective_date() to figure out what date to use, since things are becoming rather complicated. Add method tle_verbose() to centralize the verbose output of TLE. Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set 0.007 Add method max_effective_date() to do the right thing when there is more than one TLE to consider.
