In many of my Windows batch files, I used the following
construct to detect failures:
do_something
if errorlevel 1 (
echo.An error occurred in do_something
exit /b 1
)
I discovered that it is possible for a Windows program
to exit with a negative integer error code.
This causes the above construct to miss the failure
and the batch file blithely continues.
So I have replaced that construct with
do_something || (
echo.An error occurred in do_something
exit /b 1
)
This way, if the command exits with any nonzero error,
we correctly detect it as a failure.
More work standardizing the nomenclature of the
orientation systems across all language documents.
Added C functions to calculate rotation matrices
for EQJ/ECT and ECT/EQJ.
Define ECT = True Ecliptic of Date in the documentation.
I will soon convert the Ecliptic() functions to return ECT instead of
ECL, but I will retain ECL support via rotation matrix functions.
Provide shield.io badges for pypi, npm, and nuget packages.
On the main README page, moved the badges into the supported
languages grid.
Added link and badge on each language documentation page.
The csdown utility was not generating the correct ID
string that matched the C# compiler's XML output file
when a parameter was of a generic type.
Because the GravitySimulator constructor has a bodyStates
parameter of type IEnumerable<StateVector>, we were not
generating the correct method ID string:
CosineKitty.GravitySimulator.#ctor(CosineKitty.Body,CosineKitty.AstroTime,System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable{CosineKitty.StateVector})
This caused the constructor to not show up in the markdown docs.
I fixed this and now the constructor is documented.
The C# markdown generator (csdown) was not generating
documentation about constructors. This was especially
needed for the new GravitySimulator class.
Also added markdown for properties like
GravitySimulator.NumSmallBodies
GravitySimulator.Time
Made several constructors internal so they don't
need to be listed in the markdown docs.
Starting the C# version of class GravitySimulator.
There are no unit tests for it yet.
Added a fix to the C# markdown generator `csdown`
to show `void` as a function return type.
This is the first time I have had any function
in the C# version of Astronomy Engine that has
a void return type!
Fixed and improved documentation in the Kotlin version
of the gravity simulator. Fixed some comments too.
Added the following iterator functions that wrap
search/next pairs of functions:
GlobalSolarEclipsesAfter
LocalSolarEclipsesAfter
LunarApsidesAfter
LunarEclipsesAfter
MoonNodesAfter
MoonQuartersAfter
PlanetApsidesAfter
TransitsAfter
I updated the following C# demos:
moonphase.cs ==> MoonQuartersAfter
lunar_eclipse.cs ==> LunarEclipsesAfter
Fixed an issue in the C# Markdown generator
so that it can now handle generic types like
`IEnumerable<MoonQuarterInfo>`.
Now that Microsoft has officially released .NET 6,
I have upgraded the C# version of Astronomy Engine to use it.
No source code changes were needed. I just bumped the
version number in the project files, and targeted .NET 6
in the GitHub Actions continuous integration tests.
Fixed some obsolete wording in generate/README.md.
I'm trying to make it easier for first-time visitors to
this project to find the source code and documentation
to get started quickly. Moved directories that are only
used by contributors (mostly myself) out of the root
and into the 'generate' directory where they are less
distracting.
