In anticipation of releasing the Kotlin version,
I set the version numbers for the following to 2.1.0:
Kotlin
Node.js / npm
Python / pip
The intention is to keep matching releases of
Astronomy Engine at a common version number.
Generate astronomy.py directly in the package directory.
I realized it doesn't make sense to generate it in the
parent directory and then copy it; just generate it where
it will end up anyway.
Updated documentation so people know they can just do
pip install astronomy-engine
to install Astronomy Engine in their Python project.
Removed the GitHub Actions status badge because it is redundant with
the checkmark/X indicator.
Now that private symbols are no longer exported, I had to
fix a couple of places where the unit tests still accessed them.
I realized that the way I structured the pip package
in version 2.0.15 made the private symbols (those whose
names begin with an underscore) to be visible by the importer.
I reworked the package structure so this no longer happens.
This is now fixed in:
https://pypi.org/project/astronomy-engine/2.0.16/
The pip package was broken!
I violated ancient software development wisdom:
"If you haven't tested it, it doesn't work."
It is now working in:
https://pypi.org/project/astronomy-engine/2.0.15/
Version 2.0.15 of Astronomy Engine for Python (pip)
and Node.js (npm) add support for the new SiderealTime
function. This was previously an internal function,
but now it is exposed for outside callers.
The way I was publishing the Python package was annoying.
I found a better way to authenticate myself to pypi.org,
but I needed to test it. This required bumping the version
numbers of the packages. There is no difference between
2.0.12 and 2.0.13.
Python and npm package version: 2.0.11.
Finished implementing new functions across all
supported languages:
EclipticGeoMoon
Calculate the Moon's ecliptic geocentric position
in angular coordinates. The ecliptic longitude is
measured with respect to the mean equinox of date.
SearchMoonNode
NextMoonNode
A pair of functions to search for consecutive occurrences
of the Moon's center passing through the ecliptic plane.
