  Make the zero-argument form of the maidenhead() method conform to the
    docs.

0.058		2013-11-25	T. R. Wyant
  Handle undef period in pass(). At the moment it's handled by fudging in
    90 minutes, which is bogus, but lets me experiment objects whose
    motion is defined by a list of positions. 
  Add a paragraph on how passes are detected to the
    Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE pass() documentation.
  In the satpass script, implement 'sky lookup' in terms of
    Astro::SIMBAD::Client script() rather than query(), so that we do not
    need SOAP::Lite.

  Deprecate the satpass script.

0.056_04	2013-06-30	T. R. Wyant
  Modify the appulse algorithm when the appulsing body is a satellite,
    since the original algorithm did not necessarily converge to the
    correct time for satellites in similar orbits. Thanks to Vidar
    Tyldum for bringing this to my attention, and working with me on it.

  Go back to simply allowing invalid international launch designators.
    They started getting rejected about release 0.051_01 (2012-08-18).
    Thanks to Vidar Tyldum for bringing this to my attention, and
    working with me on it.

0.056_02	2013-06-25	T. R. Wyant
  Take spaces as equivalent to zeroes in numeric fields (which I believe
    is the old FORTRAN behavior), and in the numeric portions of the
    international launch designator.
  As a consequence of the above, the 'international' attribute will be
    zero-filled on retrieval.
  Update docs. Replace 'location' by 'station' where that is what is
    meant. Add a (very brief) explanation of times to the overview. Also
    add information on the Space Track REST interface to the overview.

0.056_01	2013-06-08	T. R. Wyant
  Deprecations:
  * The two-argument form of azel() is now fatal.
  * The satpass script fails if you try to geocode without
    Geo::Coder::Geocoder::US.
  * Use of the satpass script 'lit' setting is now fatal; instead use
    'edge_of_earths_shadow'.
  * Use of the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 'limb' attribute is now fatal;
    instead use 'edge_of_earths_shadow'.
  * Feeding a JSON file to Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->parse() which uses
    the SATNAME key is deprecated, and produces a warning. This warning
    will become fatal in the future. Instead use OBJECT_NAME.
  * Warn every time a Doppler shift is computed using the station's
    frequency. This will become fatal in the future. The frequency
    should be set on the orbiting object.

0.056		2012-12-08	T. R. Wyant
  Deprecation warnings:
  * The Doppler calculation warns the first time the frequency comes
    from the station rather than the satellite.
  * The satpass script warns every time geocoding is done if
    Geo::Coder::Geocoder::US is not installed.

  Workaround for problem with Date::Manip clobbering $ENV{PATH} when it
    is loaded.
  T. S. Kelso recorded Iridium 4 (OID 24796) as being out of service
    about midnight 20-Oct-2012 GMT. I have updated the canned status,
    since I know he calls Iridium LLC to get the status.
  Have the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE status() method take optional OID
    arguments for the 'show' subcommand.

0.054		2012-10-09	T. R. Wyant
  Correct field TLE_LINE0 in the JSON TLE generated by
    Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE to include the leading '0 '.

0.053_01	2012-10-02	T. R. Wyant
  INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: In the JSON representaion of a TLE, the common
    name of the body is now OBJECT_NAME, not SATNAME. This was done to
    track the usage of Space Track, which did not previously have the
    common name in its TLE data. The SATNAME field will still be used if
    it appears in input, but is being put through a deprecation cycle.

  Suppress the 'OK' after an st( set => ...) in the satpass script.
  Address satpass script Term::ReadLine load failures under the test
    harness by doing the load in an eval, and falling back to the
    non-ReadLine case.
  Update the canned status table in Astro::Coord::ECI for the fact that
    both Sladen and McCants call Iridium 51 (OID 25262) in service.

0.052		2012-09-05	T. R. Wyant
  Per schedule, the following deprecated items will produce a warning on
    each use:
    * The 'upper' argument of the Astro::Coord::ECI azel() method;
    * The Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 'limb' attribute;
    * The satpass 'lit' setting.
  All these warnings will become fatal in the first release on or after
  March 1 2013.

0.051_04	2012-08-29	T. R. Wyant
  Remove support for the 'horizon' setting of the Astro::Coord::ECI
    'almanac_horizon' attribute. This was introdiced in 0.051_01, but on
    second thought I decided the 'horizon' logic was ill-conceived.
  Change the JSON representation of the International Launch Designator
    to track Space Track change by Space Track to REST predicate
    INTLDES.
  Further corrections to t/tle_json.t for OS-dependant failures.

0.051_03	2012-08-26	T. R. Wyant
  Enhance Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->parse() to parse Iridium status off
    the name if it is present.

0.051_02	2012-08-23	T. R. Wyant
  Fudge the JSON in t/tle_json.t for system-to-system differences in
    floating point representations (2-digit vs 3-digit exponent).
  Remove the -json output formatting option from the satpass tle()
    command. Instead, provide eg/convert_tle.

0.051_01	2012-08-18	T. R. Wyant
  Add attribute almanac_horizon to Astro::Coord::ECI. This sets the
    horizon for almanac calculations. The default is 0 (radians), but
    other values are possible, as well as 'horizon' (meaning, use the
    value of the 'horizon' attribute) and 'height' (meaning, depress the
    horizon for the height of the observer above sea level). The satpass
    script allows access to this.
  Add JSON support for Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE and
    Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium. This includes the ability of
    Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->parse() to handle JSON orbital elements from
    the Space Track REST interface (provided the optional JSON module
    can be loaded), and hooks in both classes for them to serialize
    themselves into Space-Track-like JSON.
  Add -json option to the satpass script's tle() command, to get
    canonical JSON output.
  Make use of DateTime (if available) to interpret a non-numeric
    Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium zone attribute. If DateTime is not
    available, fall back to the old implementation of setting $ENV{TZ}
    and hoping localtime() responds to this.
  Correct the documentation of the Astro::Coord::ECI 'twilight'
    attribute, which really can not be set to 'civil', etc.

0.050_03	2012-06-04	T. R. Wyant
  Use YAML instead of YAML::Any, since they are both in the same distro,
    and YAML does not suffer from deprecation warnings.
  Add pass variant PASS_VARIANT_NO_ILLUMINATION. If attribute 'visible'
    is false, this causes no illumination calculations at all to be
    done.  This seems to save 20% in calculation time, but your mileage
    may vary, especially inside the Arctic or Antarctic Circles.
  Have bin/satpass warn the first time it geocodes if geocoding is done
    directly using SOAP::Lite.

0.050_02	2012-05-30	T. R. Wyant
  Make the Astro::Coord::ECI azel_offset() Doppler calculation
    contingent on the availability of a radial velocity value.

0.050_01	2012-05-29	T. R. Wyant
  Reinstate the Doppler calculation in Astro::Coord::ECI's
    azel_offset(). Thanks to Vidar Tyldum for finding this omission.
    While in the Doppler code, made the satellite the primary source of
    the frequency. Getting the frequency from the observer object is
    being put through a deprecation cycle, and will eventually result in
    an error.

0.050		2012-05-04	T. R. Wyant
  The 'status iridium' command in the 'satpass' script is now fatal;
    it has been deprecated in favor of 'status show' for some time,

  Add module Astro::Coord::ECI::Mixin to provide common-logic methods
    which do not seem to fit the object hierarchy.
  Promote method ecliptic_longitude() from Astro::Coord::ECI::Sun to
    Astro::Coord::ECI.

0.049_01	2012-03-31	T. R. Wyant
  In Astro::Coord::ECI:
    * Add attribute 'sun', to hold the object used to convert to and
      from Heliocentric coordinates.
    * Add methods ecliptic_cartesian(), heliocentric_ecliptic(), and
      heliocentric_ecliptic_cartesian().
    * Consolidate code for conversion between Cartesian and spherical
      coordinates.
  In Astro::Coord::ECI::Set:
    * Have the aggregate() method _not_ aggregate TLEs that have a blank
      ID and model 'null'. This piece of ad-hocery was necessary to
      prevent aggregation of "fake" TLEs representing different fixed
      points in space (e.g. as created by the satpass or satpass2
      'geodetic' command).

0.049		2012-03-12	T. R. Wyant
  In the Astro::Coord::ECI precess_dynamical() method, set the time of
    the station attribute (if any) before precessing it.
  In Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE, throw an exception if the Sun never rises.
    This should not happen, but was encountered while sorting out the
    precess_dynamical() bug.
  Independently test appulses of all relevant classes, since this is how
    the precess_dynamical() bug manifested.
  In Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set, override the get() method, and have
    get( 'tle' ) return the concatenated TLEs of all members.
  In Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium reflection() method, fix
    two-argument azel() call.

0.048		2012-03-08	T. R. Wyant
  Add keplers_equation() to Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils.

0.047_03	2012-03-01	T. R. Wyant
  In the 'satpass' script's pass() subroutine, set the 'station'
    attribute of all bodies in the @sky array before passing them to the
    Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE pass() method.
  In the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium flare() method, set the
    'station' attribute of the object that represents the center of the
    flare.
  Have the first use of the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 'limb' attribute, the
    satpass script 'lit' setting, and the Astro::Coord::ECI azel()
    method with an 'upper' argument display a warning. These were
    deprecated in September 2011.

0.047_02	2012-02-27	T. R. Wyant
  In Astro::Coord::ECI:
  * Have next_azimuth(), next_elevation(), and next_meridian() make use
    of the 'station' attribute if the invocant is the only
    Astro::Coord::ECI argument.
  Have Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->parse() take, as an optional first
    argument, a reference to a hash that is used to initialize
    attributes not initialized by parsing the TLE data.
  Convert all eg/ scripts to use the 'station' attribute where possible,
    and the optional Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->parse() hash argument where
    practical.

0.047_01	2012-02-26	T. R. Wyant
  In Astro::Coord::ECI:
  * Add 'station' attribute, as origin of observer-centered coordinate
    systems. If azel() is called with the invocant as the only
    Astro::Coord::ECI argument, it returns the coordinates of the
    invocant relative to the 'station' attribute.
  * Factor out the Cartesian portion of the azel() method, and add
    methods neu() and enu(), to provide local Cartesian coordinates
    relative to the 'station' attribute.
  * Add method equatorial_apparent(), to calculate apparent equatorial
    coordinates as seen from the location in the 'station' attribute.
  * Work on velocity transformations from eci() to ecef(), neu(), enu(),
    azel(), and equatorial(). All these seem sane to me, though I still
    have no worked examples to test against.
  I intend the use of the 'station' attribute to be the preferred way to
  get observer-relative coordinates. I would like to eventually
  deprecate $station->azel( $body ) and friends, as well as the practice
  of passing an explicit station to the pass() and flare() methods, but
  whether this actually happens is another question.

0.047		2012-01-20	T. R. Wyant
  Have the functionality related to the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE
    'pass_threshold' attribute (introduced in 0.046) take visibility
    into account if the 'visible' attribute is true.

0.046		2012-01-18	T. R. Wyant
  Add Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE attribute 'pass_threshold'. If set to
    something (in radians) other than undef, the sattelite's highest
    point during a pass must be at least this high for the pass to be
    reported.
  Support the 'pass_threshold' setting in the satpass script.
  Optional code that used to feel around for a YAML implementation now
    just uses YAML::Any.
  The utility subroutines deg2rad() and rad2deg() now support an
    argument of undef which, unsurprisingly, returns undef.
  The Changes file now conforms to Test::CPAN::Changes, and the author
    test xt/author/changes.t has been added to keep it so.

0.045		2011-12-05	T. R. Wyant
  Have the satpass script's geocode command favor
    Geo::Coder::Geocoder::US. Deprecate the use of SOAP::Lite.
  Have the satpass script set the height to 0 if the position was set by
    the geocode command, but height() failed.
  Update the copy of the GNU GPL in LICENSES/Copying to have the current
    FSF address.
  Document the release of Astro-App-Satpass2, and the eventual
    deprecation of the satpass script.
  Try to clarify how the atmospheric refraction calculation works.

  Require Test::More 0.88 for testing. The requirement was actually

    picking up this discrepancy.
  The satpass script's 'status iridium' command now generates a

  The earthquake (Mineral Virginia USA) fire (Great Dismal Swamp) and
    flood (hurricane Irene) edition.
  Updated the canned Iridium status in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE for
    McCants' and Sladen's reporting of Iridium 26 (OID 24903) as out of
    service. They also updated Iridium 23 (OID 24906) to show it in
    service rather than failed, but I have continued to follow Kelso in
    calling it a spare.
  Other than this, only documentation changes, mostly relating to the
    deprecation of the 'limb' attribute and its relation to the new
    'edge_of_earths_shadow' attribute.

0.042_02	2011-08-18	T. R. Wyant
  In the satpass script, use the new 'edge_of_earths_shadow' setting in
    the 'flare' and 'position' commands, though the flare calculation
    does not actually make use of it.

0.042_01	2011-08-16	T. R. Wyant
  Replace the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 'limb' attribute and the satpass
    'lit' setting with the 'edge_of_earth_shadow' attribute and setting.
    The new attribute and setting are numeric, and specify an increase
    in elevation (or decrease if negative) in units of the apparent
    radius of the body. The replaced attribute and setting still exist,
    but are deprecated, and will begin warning in the first release
    after March 1 2012. This setting/attribute is used by the pass
    calculation.
  Provide an Astro::Coord::ECI azel_offset() method, which takes, as its
    optional second argument, an offset applied to the elevation, in
    terms of the apparent radius of the body whose position is being
    calculated. The two-argument version of the azel() method is now
    deprecated, and will begin warning in the first release after March
    1 2012.
  Override the Astro::Coord::ECI correct_for_refraction() method in
    Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE, Astro::Coord::ECI::Moon, and
    Astro::Coord::ECI::Sun. The override simply returns the input
    elevation unmodified.

0.042		2011-08-07	T. R. Wyant
  In the Astro::Coord::ECI maidenhead() method:
  * Document the fact that, when used as a mutator, it sets the position
    of the center of the square;
  * Modify the accessor to try to minimize truncation error.
  Added t/eci_maidenhead.t.

0.041		2011-07-25	T. R. Wyant
  Re-fix longitude out-of-range warning in Astro::Coord::ECI::Moon.
  Fix problem with time specification in eg/sh_script when Date::Manip
    is not installed.

0.040_01	2011-07-11	T. R. Wyant
  Add attribute 'pass_variant' to Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE. This tweaks
    the output of the pass() method, and can be set to the bitwise 'or'
    (a.k.a. '|') of the following exported values:
    * PASS_VARIANT_NONE - No tweaks.
    * PASS_VARIANT_VISIBLE_EVENTS - Remove from the output all pass
      events which were not visible. Ignored if the 'visible' attribute
      is false.
    * PASS_VARIANT_FAKE_MAX - Create a 'max' event representing the
      largest visible elevation if the absolute max was filtered out by
      PASS_VARIANT_VISIBLE_EVENTS.
    * PASS_VARIANT_START_END - Report the first and last pass events as
      PASS_EVENT_START and PASS_EVENT_END. These are the same as
      PASS_EVENT_RISE and PASS_EVENT_SET unless the 'visible' attribute
      is true and PASS_VARIANT_VISIBLE_EVENTS is asserted.
  Minor optimization to the pass() method: the changes of 0.039_01
    through 0.039_05 left the appulse calculation before the point at
    which provisional passes were accepted or rejected. This has been
    moved below that point.
  New example script, eg/xml that makes use of the 'pass_variant'
    attribute, and generates XML from pass data using XML::Writer.

0.040		2011-07-06	T. R. Wyant
  No code changes since 0.039_05.
  Tried to make the documentation of the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE
    lazy_pass_position clearer.
  Unconditionally set lazy_pass_position in the satpass script, since it
    recomputes position anyway.
  Added a few words to the OVERVIEW about how to get results more like
    those of the Heavens Above web site.

0.039_05	2011-06-22	T. R. Wyant
  Fix yet more problems in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->pass():
  * Do not report passes which ended before the prediction interval
    started.
  * Rework the implementation of the 'interval' attribute to be
    (hopefully!) more efficient, and to fix incorrectly-reported
    illuminations.
  * Fix a regression in the code that calculates the maximum altitude of
    the satellite. The regression was introduced in 0.039_03.
  * Fix incorrect rise (and sometimes max) times when the pass is in
    progress when the prediction interval starts and the 'visible'
    attribute is false.  The previous fix only worked if the 'visible'
    attribute was true.
  Add Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE attribute 'lazy_pass_position', to give the
    pass() method permission not to calculate and report event position
    if the event's time can be calculated without calculating position.
  The satpass script's 'verbose' setting now works as advertised.

0.039_04	2011-06-10	T. R. Wyant
  Re-fix the time-zone-dependant test failures in t/tle_flare.t.

0.039_03	2011-06-08	T. R. Wyant
  Fix more problems in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->pass():
  * Fix detection and calculation of events of visible passes which
    begin during the day, or any pass in progress at the beginning of
    the computation interval.
  * Detect passes that end shortly before the end of the computation
    interval. This was a bug introduced in 0.039_01 or later.
  Have Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->parse() throw a warning if it can not
    understand the --effective date, and record the effective date as
    undef. Also allow --effective dates without a fractional part of the
    second.
  Add more tests to try to capture all these changes.

0.039_02	2011-05-18	T. R. Wyant
  Fix various problems in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->pass(), also brought
    to my attention by Jaap Meijers:
    * Incorrect time of maximum elevation when only one of the original
      one-minute samples is above the horizon.
    * Sporadic detection of passes which spend less than a minute above
      the horizon.
    * Potentially, sporadic detection of passes which spend less than a
      minute illuminated before daylight occurs. I have no examples of
      this, though.
  Add tests for Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->pass(). More are needed.

0.039_01	2011-05-09	T. R. Wyant

  Updated code that uses the optional Astro::SpaceTrack module to
    require version 0.052 wherever the Space Track web site is (or may
    be) accessed.
  Removed calls to _INSTANCE in little-used code in bin/satpass. It must
    be little-used, since it hasn't been imported from Params::Util
    since version 0.033 dated 17-Sep-2010.
  Fix to zone attribute code in bin/satpass, so that it can be cleared
    once set.

0.037		2011-04-04	T. R. Wyant
  Added a zone attribute to Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium, so that it
    could properly distinguish between -am and -pm flares somewhere
    other than in the local zone. Thanks to CPAN Testers for finding
    this consequence of publishing a t/iridium.t that everyone can run.

0.036		2011-04-02	T. R. Wyant
  t/iridium.t no longer requires any extra data for its execution.
  The satpass 'status iridium' command, which has been deprecated for

    the satpass documentation for the the schedule for its removal.
  Document Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium max_mirror_angle attribute.
  Correct export tag documentation in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE (from

0.035_01	2011-03-18	T. R. Wyant
  Correct the attribute() method on Astro::Coord::ECI,
    Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE, and Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium.
    Formerly it was returning false for some extant attributes.

0.035		2011-03-03	T. R. Wyant
  Removed the rightascension attribute in favor of the ascendingnode
    attribute. This is the last step in its deprecation.
  Update the canned Iridium statuses in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE for the

0.034		2010-12-06	T. R. Wyant
  Make code for Astro::Coord::ECI zero-argument ecliptic() less cute

  Update canned Iridium statuses in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE, to cover the
    replacement of Iridium 23 (24906) with Iridium 11 (25578) about
    November 3 2010.
  Update and re-enable xt/author/iridium_status.t.

0.033_01	2010-12-02	T. R. Wyant
  Try to avoid panic in Astro::Coord::ECI zero-argument geocentric()

  Add t/sgp4-ver.tle to the distribution, instead of asking people to
    download it. Thanks to Dr. T. S. Kelso.
  Add attribute rcs (radar cross-section) to Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE.
    That class' parse() method will populate the rcs attribute if it

  Require version 5.64 of Exporter, so I don't have to juggle export
    tags for the benefit of early Perls.
  Drop dependency on Params::Util.
  Move author tests from xt/ to xt/author/.
  Make sure POD links specify test.
  Make minimum Perl version 5.6.2, since that is the lowest version I
    have a prayer of supporting.

0.032		2010-07-03	T. R. Wyant
  Have Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE complain every time the rightascension
    attribute is accessed. This is being deprecated in favor of the
    ascendingnode attribute. Elimination is scheduled for the first
    release in 2011.
  Consolidate prerequisites into inc/Astro/Coord/ECI/Meta.pm.
  Don't require Module::Build for configuration when building a
    distribution. This is controlled by environment variable
    MAKING_MODULE_DISTRIBUTION.
  Document that Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium will probably not work
    for Iridium Next satellites, to be launched starting about 2015.
  Move acknowledgment of Goran Gasparovic from bin/satpass to
    lib/Astro/Coord/ECI.pm, since that's where the code is and where the
    acknowledgment should have been all along, and so it does not get
    lost when bin/satpass is superseded by App::Satpass2.
  Fix fatal error in satpass when tilde-expanding a non-existent user
    name. It's still an error, just not fatal.
  Tweak the documentation of Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->is_valid_model(),
    to make it clearer why it was provided, and make it obvious that it
    can be called as a static method.
  Fix bug in precession of equatorial coordinates, which would cause an
    error if no observing station was passed to the subroutine.
  Add Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE method body_type(), which computes the type
    of the body from the common name using an algorithm similar to the
    one documented on Space Track's Satellite Box Score page.
  Weaken recommendation of Time::y2038 when run under Perl 5.12 and
    above, since I really don't think it's needed.

0.031		2010-05-06	T. R. Wyant
  Add the maidenhead() method to Astro::Coord::ECI, to get or set
    geodetic position in the Maidenhead Locator System.
  Update install instructions in README to include cpan, cpanp, or ppi
    as appropriate.
  Add example script eg/passes to download TLEs and predict passes in
    one fell swoop.
  Change the output in the Astro::Coord::ECI::Sun example to UT, and add
    a note why. Thanks to Richard Hardwick for raising this issue.

0.030		2010-02-26	T. R. Wyant
  Update copyright in README to 2010.

0.029_03	2010-02-12	T. R. Wyant
  Consolidate all optional module logic, to eliminate duplicate code
    between Makefile.PL and Build.PL, and so the messages all have the
    same 'look and feel.' Dropped XML::Parser from the list, since it
    is no longer used directly by any supported code.
  Add the Heavens Above web site to Astro::Coord::ECI's 'SEE ALSO'.
  Have the satpass script look in $ENV{USERPROFILE} for the
    initialization file, in addition to all the other possibilities.

0.029_02	2010-02-09	T. R. Wyant
  Use explicit tolerances for fractional results in the Julian date
    conversion tests in t/basic.t. This is for Strawberry Perl under
    ReactOS 0.3.11, which seems to have a case of the .999999s.

0.029_01	2010-02-07	T. R. Wyant
  Trap possible exception from gmtime when generating the sgp4r
    'mean eccentricity < 0 or >= 1' error in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE.

0.029		2010-02-04	T. R. Wyant
  No changes since 0.028_01, but with CPAN testers being green bird, I
    thought a production release in order.

0.028_01	2010-02-02	T. R. Wyant
  Date::Manip and Time::y2038 are no longer 'recommended' but 'optional'.
    This means not telling the tool chain about them, but doing custom
    checks, and custom, gentler messages about why you might (or might
    not!) want these modules.
  Centralize the decision about what time routines to use in
    Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils, and have it export to the other modules,
    the tests, the 'satpass' script, and the example scripts.
  Rewrite t/parse_date.t so that it no longer needs Time::y2038.
    Instead, it uses precomputed times, which it offsets for the target
    system's epoch when it runs.
  The above was done in an attempt to clarify the role of the optional
    modules, and cases where they might not be desirable. Thanks to
    Christopher Sylvain for identifying the problems and working with me
    on their solution.
  Rewrite the time portions Astro::Coord::ECI::OVERVIEW to better
    reflect the current state of the time handling. Plus, retitle it so
    that hopefully it will actually appear in the distribution.

0.028		2010-01-11	T. R. Wyant
  Fix bug introduced in 0.027, in which the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE
    pass() method failed to include the {appulse} data when an appulse
    was found.

0.027		2010-01-08	T. R. Wyant
  Correct (I hope!) the computation of illumination changes in the
    Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE pass() method. The original could miss them
    in the first or last minute of the pass.

0.026_03	2010-01-02	T. R. Wyant
  Add exportable constants SPEED_OF_LIGHT (in kilometers per second) and
    SECS_PER_SIDERIAL_DAY to Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils.
  Add attribute frequency (in Hertz) to Astro::Coord::ECI.
  Have the Astro::Coord::ECI->azel() method return Doppler shift as the
    seventh element of the returned array if velocities are available
    AND the frequency attribute is set.
  Attempt to correct the transverse velocities calculated by
    Astro::Coord::ECI->azel() for the rotation of the coordinate system.
    I am not convinced the corrections (or indeed the transverse
    velocities themselves) are correct.
  The first time the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE rightascension attribute is
    used in a given script, issue a warning that it is deprecated.
  Update copyrights to 2010.

0.026_02	2009-12-14	T. R. Wyant
  The Astro::Coord::ECI azel() method now returns velocities if
    these are available. The transverse velocities (azimuthal and
    elevational) are NOT corrected for the Coriolis effect.
  Added Astro::Nova to the Astro::Coord::ECI 'SEE ALSO' section.
  Date::Manip is no longer required. If it is not available, the
    'satpass' script will use a home-grown pseudo-ISO-8601 parser
    instead. The t/parse_time.t test was added to make sure this works
    as advertized.
  Have 'authortest' run the normal tests without any of the optional
    modules. This requires either Test::Without::Module or Devel::Hide.
    If neither is available, 'authortest' will not attempt these tests.
  Remove the last vestiges of the $ENV{DEVELOPER_TEST} machinery.
  Rewrote xt/manifest.t to use Test::More.

0.026_01	2009-11-28	T. R. Wyant
  All modules' versions set to 0.026_01. In the future all modules in
    a given release will have the same version number.
  Convert all modules to the CPAN-recommended license.
  Author tests no longer rely on environment variable DEVELOPER_TEST.
    Instead, they are executed by ./Build authortest. This means author
    tests are no longer available via the ExtUtils::MakeMaker build.
  Astro::Coord::ECI
    Modify correct_for_refraction() to work down to (and a bit below)
      the horizon setting if that is negative. Thanks to Vidar Tyldum
      Hansen of Kongsberg Satellite Services AS for identifying the
      need for this, and working with me on it.
  satpass
    Add the 'refraction' parameter, to allow the user to turn off
      atmospheric refraction (it is on by default).
  
0.026		2009-10-02	T. R. Wyant
  Astro::Coord::ECI 0.026
    Default the {inertial} attribute appropriately.
    Add the next_azimuth() method to compute when a body passes the
      given azimuth. Thanks to Lixus Zoran for suggesting this on the
      geo-perl mailing list.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::Moon 0.007
    Default the {inertial} attribute appropriately.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::Sun 0.010
    Default the {inertial} attribute appropriately.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 0.020
    Default the {inertial} attribute appropriately.
    Deprecate the {rightascension} attribute in favor of the
      {ascendingnode} attribute. See the POD for the
      deprecation plan.

0.025		2009-09-07	T. R. Wyant
  Astro::Coord::ECI 0.035
    Correct documentation of matrix math in azel() method.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 0.019

    Make max_effective_date() ignore undef arguments.
    More verbose message for bad eccentricity in sgp4r.
    Correct description of synopsis to match what it actually does.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set 0.008
    Add and document validate() method.
  bin/satpass 0.024
    Add validate command.
  Build.PL
    Remove need for Module::Build for configuration, since I also
      supply Makefile.PL.

  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.

0.023		2009-03-09	T. R. Wyant

    Test t/tle_exception.t is no longer a developer test, but it will be
      skipped unless the user has Time::y2038.
  Astro::Coord::ECI 0.023
    Add method equatorial_unreduced(), for those who are only interested
      in range and velocity.
    Attempt to straighten out velocities when transforming among ECEF,
      ECI, and equatorial. No tests yet, though, so I have no idea if
      it is right. Note that as a consequence of this change it is
      possible to have an object without a velocity, since inertial
      objects no longer default to 0 velocity.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 0.017
    Set Iridium 91 in service in canned status, reflecting updates by
      Rod Sladen and T. S. Kelso. This is the real reason for the
      release; otherwise I would have sat on it until I had velocity
      tests.

0.022		2009-02-15	T. R. Wyant
  General
    Make new test t/tle_exception.t a developer test until I can figure
      out why it only runs on my configuration.

0.021		2009-02-13	T. R. Wyant
  General
    Make Time::y2038 recommended rather than required, since
      ActivePerl has problems with that module. We use it if
      available, otherwise we fall back to the core modules
      (and Time::Local if needed).
    Add eg/closest and eg/positions, showing calculation of the
      closest approach to a given point, and standalone calculation
      of the positions of all bodies at a given time.
    Correct '## no critic' in various places.
  Astro::Coord::ECI 0.021
    Trap any exceptions encountered when setting the time, set the time
      to undef (since otherwise we're left in an inconsistent state)
      and re-raise the exception.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE 0.016
    Add OID number to exceptions related to orbital elements.
    Correct error messages involving using a near-earth model on a
      deep-space satellite or vice versa.
    Document the units of the model results (km or km/sec).
    Update canned Iridium status for the loss of Iridium 33 in a
      collision with Cosmos 2251.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set 0.006
    Tell carp not to report Astro::Coord::ECI (and friends) errors
      as originating in Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set.
  bin/satpass 0.021
    Add gmt parameter which, if true, causes time output to be GMT.
    Trap Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE modeling exceptions in the 'flare',
      'pass', and 'position' commands, so that the whole command does
      not abort when this happens. SIGINT still aborts the whole
      command. Add -quiet option to supress error output.
    Mark geocode_ca as unsupported and probably not working, since
      they have started requiring registration for use of their
      free port.

    Add Params::Util 0.25 as prerequisite.
    Add Astro/Coord/ECI/Overview.pod to try to give a "big picture".
    Eliminate function calls to UNIVERSAL::can and UNIVERSAL::isa in
      favor of Params::Util::_INSTANCE(), ::_CLASSISA(), or
      Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils::embodies().
    Update copyright date to 2009.
    Restructure Build.PL and Makefile.PL to better adapt to the
      installed version.
    Distribute t/critic.t, t/executable.t, t/iridium_status.t,
      t/manifest.t, and t/perlcriticrc but do not run them unless
      environment variable DEVELOPER_TEST is set.
    Bring code up to perlcritic --stern with exceptions contained in
      t/perlcriticrc. This was not done to bin/satpass, since I plan to
      retire it.
  Astro::Coord::ECI 0.020
    Use represents() rather than isa() on the argument (if any) to the
      equatorial(), next_elevation(), and next_meridian() methods, to
      allow Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set objects.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::Moon 0.006
    Make case of 'Moon' in next_quarter() output consistent.
    Append 'Moon' to first and last quarter description.
    Add method next_quarter_hash(), which wraps next_quarter() and
      returns a hash similar to the one returned by the
      Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->pass() method.
    Add method almanac_hash(), which wraps almanac() in a manner similar
      to next_quarter_hash().
  Astro::Coord::ECI::Star 0.006
    Add method almanac_hash(), which wraps almanac() and returns a hash
      similar to the one returned by the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE->pass()

    Add method almanac_hash(), which wraps almanac() in a manner similar
      to next_quarter_hash().
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::0.015
    Add ability to manufacture the 'tle' attribute when the object was
      not generated by the parse() method.
    Supress object dump when environment variable DEVELOPER_TEST is set.
    Correct SYNOPSIS to include $tle->set(backdate=>0) with comments.
    Document models sgp4r and model4r under the 'model' attribute, and
      add them to the DESCRIPTION section of the POD.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium 0.007
    Document attributes am, day, extinction, and pm.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set 0.005
    Add explicit represent() method.
    Add optional options hash as first argument of aggregate(). The only

      be called on any Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Set objecgts created.
  Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Utils 0.010
    Add subroutine embodies($obj, $class) as a safe way to call

  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

      here, for support of .pmc modules.
  bin/satpass 0.014
    Add 'echo' and 'times' commands.
    Add 'backdate' parameter, propagate to pass() and flare().
