Release 7.0
This major release introduces many new features and bug fixes.
The new features introduced in version 7.0 are:
- the complete DSST semi-analytical propagator with short-periodics terms (only mean elements were available in previous version),
- extension to second order derivatives for many models (Cartesian coordinates, angular coordinates, attitude modes, ...),
- bilinear interpolator in Saastamoinen model,
- attitude overriding during impulsive maneuvers,
- general relativity force model,
- geographic zone detector,
- ecliptic frame.
Several bugs have been fixed. One noteworthy fix concerns an inconsistency in Eckstein-Hechler propagator velocity, which leads to a change of the generated orbit type.
Version 7.0 depends on Apache Commons Math 3.4.1.
