0.057 2025-07-24 T. R. Wyant
Fix error handling in height() command and add testing to try to
ensure it stays fixed.
Add CONTRIBUTING and SECURITY.
0.056 2025-05-24 T. R. Wyant
Do not set iridium_status_format on Astro::SpeceTrack when
constructing a new object. This attribute was eliminated when the
Celestrak web site ditched the underlying data.
0.055 2025-01-04 T. R. Wyant
Add autocomplete to 'show' command.
Rename all .tt files to tt2.
Read files encoded rather than binmode() so I can specify :crlf on
Windows machines.
Go from linux.die.net to man7.org for man links because the latter
does not block Perl and therefore foil Test::Pod::LinkCheck::Lite.
Do not trim object name to 24 chars in pass_ics template.
Harden ::Macro::Code command discovery.
The problem was that in the case of inlineable subroutines (i.e. 'use
constant ...' a reference to the value was the actual value, not the
subroutine .. i.e. a REF, not a GLOB. So when tried to dereference the
CODE slot we blew up.
0.054 2024-03-31 T. R. Wyant
Prefer Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils::gm_strftime to POSIX::strftime
because the behavior of POSIX::strftime when formatting GMT changed in
Perl 5.39.8, and is no longer compatible with the libc implementation,
which does not alter the components given it. This requires
Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils version 0.131.
Convert testing to Test2::V0.
0.053 2023-12-12 T. R. Wyant
Fix clobbering of $VERSION by casual stringy eval.
0.052 2023-10-14 T. R. Wyant
Document the first_tle() Template array method.
Fix pass() --almanac for evening passes.
0.051 2023-09-11 T. R. Wyant
Without DateTime, ParseTime::ISO8601 now accepts any zone. These are
handled by setting $ENV{TZ} before the conversion and hoping for the
best. The documentation warns that this is a shaky way to handle
zones.
Make Warner->wail() stack dump if $Carp::Verbose true.
Add --almanac to pass(). This adds almanac data to appropriate
passes. --ephemeris is more verbose, adding almanac data to all
passes. This change involved refactoring event formatting to use
sub-templates, rather than if-elsif-else chains.
Add 'none' as valid argument to FormatTime->round_time(). It is
equivalent to specifying undef, i.e. no rounding.
0.050 2022-09-28 T. R. Wyant
Silence DM5 deprecation warnings.
More consistent testing of time parsing, primarily of DM6 and the
hand-rolled ISO parsing.
Fix Blead error, as of 6a011f13d7690dbe2e03ad7500756c983bcb1834
Add completion for formatter command.
Correct processing of options specified as hash refs to be more like
the processing of command-style options.
Have template pass_ics pay attention to --magnitude.
0.049 2021-11-04 T. R. Wyant
Add command completion if Term::ReadLine::Perl is available. This
adds command, macro, and option completion to Term::ReadLine::Perl's
file name completion. The macro() and sky() commands also do
subcommand name completion.
The macro() command no longer does a 'list' if it does not recognize
Fix test failure under Perl 5.8.
Make macros sensitive to error_out setting. And a few other places
like choose().
Get prerequisites up to snuff and add xt/author/prereq.t to ensure
they stay that way.
0.046 2021-01-08 T. R. Wyant
Add Travis CI testing.
Use GitHub as bug tracker. R.I.P. rt.cpan.org.
Add attribute 'refraction', which specifies whether atmospheric
refraction is taken into account.
0.045 2020-08-02 T. R. Wyant
Remove prototypes from the testing subroutines defined in t/*.t and
inc/My/Module/Test/*.pm
Add -default to provide default values for positional arguments.
This works on any method that calls __arguments().
Add -am and -pm options to pass(). These select either morning or
evening passes respectively. The default is both if neither is
present. They can be negated, but it is an error to negate both.
Note that this is a filter -- all passes are computed, but only the
desired ones are displayed.
0.044 2020-02-16 T. R. Wyant
Replace time_gm() & time_local() with greg_time_*() from
Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils. The latter always interpret the year as
Gregorian.
Alternate macOS config location for Catalina. The problem is that
File::HomeDir->my_dist_config() is in ~/Documents/, and I have been
unable to access that from a macOS launchd job, even running as the
owner of the direcory. At the moment I am also looking in
File::HomeDir->my_dist_data(), which experimentation seems to show
is accessible to a launchd job. But that may not be its final
resting place. The my_dist_config() location will still be found --
this is just a band-aid for those who use this code in scheduled
jobs.
0.043 2020-01-17 T. R. Wyant
Fix y2020 problem when using Date::Manip for input. The ISO8601
parser appears to be unaffected.
0.042 2019-11-03 T. R. Wyant
Fix redirects in POD URL links.
Implement \U and friends inside double quotes, except for \Q. If run
under Perl before version 5.15.8, \F is equivalent to \L.
Add interactive method error(). This aborts the macro or include
file in which it appears, displaying an error message.
Add if() operators -z and -n, which are analogous to the test (1)
operators of the same name.
Macro definitions are no longer unescaped. Unescaping was preventing
the \U ... functionality from working in a macro, and had no known
benefits. I must have put it in there for some reason, but I no
longer know why.
Correct eg/pass_ics to alert before and at rise.
0.041 2019-10-04 T. R. Wyant
Fix validation error caught by Astro::Coord::ECI 0.109_01.
Validate horizon, latitude, and longitude.
Add -verbose to macro( load => ... )
0.040 2019-07-20 T. R. Wyant
Fix broken POD links and add test to ensure they stay fixed.
Remove Astro::App::Satpass2::Format::Classic refs. This module was
retired quite a while back.
0.039 2019-03-29 T. R. Wyant
Fix test failures when local zone not determined. This was a single
test in t/format_template.t that attempted to use
DateTime::Calendar::Christian to format March 15, 44 BC. The problem
is referred from DateTime::TimeZone::Local, which can not determine
the local zone under Haiku, and dies. Thanks to Serguei Trouchelle
for the tests that exposed this.
0.038 2019-03-13 T. R. Wyant
The 'model' setting is no longer ignored. It is now actually applied
to the TLE objects when loading them, and a change in value causes
all loaded TLEs to be modified as well.
Make ::TLE::Iridium optional.
0.037 2018-10-28 T. R. Wyant
Fix test failure in t/locale.t. I hope. Some of the CPAN testers
get errors like
do "t/locale/fu_BAR.pm" failed, '.' is no longer in @INC; did you
mean do "./t/locale/fu_BAR.pm"? at ...
gglib/Astro/App/Satpass2/Locale.pm line 210.
but I can't duplicate this, even under Perls that manifestly do not
have '.' or any facimile thereof in @INC.
0.036 2018-10-17 T. R. Wyant
Support alternate Sun and Moon classes, and other bodies that
contain built-in models (e.g. Astro::Coord::ECI::VSOP87D::*).
Add sky() settings to the output of save().
Proper display of formatter template names.
0.035 2018-01-26 T. R. Wyant
TODO test because of changed equinox algorithm.
Remove mailto: bug reporting metadata. Not that I refuse these, it
is just that it appears to cause RT to think I will not accept bug
reports from them.
Support for decayed Iridium satellites.
0.034 2017-04-01 T. R. Wyant
Update FormatTime/DateTime.pm calendar_name code to take advantage of
the calendar_name() method if present.
Add 'provides' data to ExtUtils::MakeMaker output
0.033 2017-01-12 T. R. Wyant
Protect tests from local zone problems
Use 'use parent' instead of 'use base'.
0.032 2016-12-11 T. R. Wyant
Use time_local() and time_gm() from Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils. This
requires Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils 0.077.
The problem here is that earlier in the year I found that Time::Local
worked better for dates well away from the current year if I passed it
the Gregorian year rather than computing the Perl year. But I support
Time::y2038 for the benefit of older Perls, and it expects a Perl year.
The fix was to wrap the Time::y2038 calls in code that duplicates
Time::Local's year handling.
Thanks to Slaven Rezic for finding this, and for having smokers
configured with modules like Time::y2038 (which is optional for this
package) so that he _could_ find it. Kudos!
Better diagnostics for Date::Manip::DM5 test fails
Fix deep recursion in ::Macro->wail() & friends
Support formatting times with any class conforming to the DateTime
interface, via formatter attribute 'back_end'. If
DateTime::Calendar::Christian is used her, require version 0.06.
Support using DateTime (if available) to convert a parsed ISO-8601
time to epoch. An arbitrary class confirming to the DateTime
interface can be used instead, if specified.
Support era indicators (AD/BC, CE/BCE) suffixed to year in the
ISO-8601 time parser. Yes, this is an extension to the standard.
Support parsing time with code (a code macro in the case of
bin/satpass2).
Add interactive method if(), which conditionally executes another
interactive command. The conditional command can be 'begin', i.e. a
block 'if'. Conditions include checks for operating systems, whether
given objects are loaded, and Boolean tests on the values of
environment variables and attributes.
Implement block time() (with begin ... end). Like if(), this works
only interactively.
Except Template::Exception messages from the localization code.
Try to warn if loading wrong-case module, if we think we might be on a
case-tolerant filesystem.
Add File::Spec to prerequisites
Redo Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime->new() to perform as intended,
and document its arguments.
The formatter object now displays its time_formatter attribute as a
short name where possible.
Add time_formatter value to 'show' output.
Allow specifying a time as a scalar reference, The dereferenced value
is interpreted as epoch.
Special-case DateTime strftime() format %{calendar_name} to display
the name of the calendar in use.
Heuristics to make ODF geocoding more useful. I hope.
Retract support for Geo::Coder::Geocoder::US. The underlying web site
has been AWOL since late 2015.
0.031 2016-02-24 T. R. Wyant
Consolidate development changes into next production release.
Correct and clean up recommended-module code.
Document anticipated retraction of Geo::Coder::Geocoder::US geocoding
support. Skip t/geocode_geocoder_us.t unless author testing
Add Makefile targets authortest, testcover
Try to get better diagnostics for the occasional load failures
reported by CPAN testers.
0.016 2014-01-20 T. R. Wyant
Make the rounding of time for display configurable. The default is to
round to the nearest second.
Support body-specific pass events. This is really in support of a
project to predict sounding rocket visibility based on published KMZ
files for the launch.
Add options to the quarters() method to select which are displayed.
Add eg/quarters_vcalendar.
In Astro::App::Satpass2::FormatValue:
* Add formatter method list() to handle TLE output. Handle individual
lines of the list with sub-templates.
* Build time formats when used. This to allow subclasses to add time
formatters.
"Code macro" support tweaks. This is all still experimental:
* Add method Astro::App::Satpass2->__add_to_observing_list().
* Call code macro after_load() (if it exists) after loading the
macros.
* If a code macro is loaded using the -lib option, record the absolute
path to the directory unless -relative also asserted.
Fix Astro::App::Satpass2::Format::Dump. No telling how long it was
broken.
0.015 2013-11-17 T. R. Wyant
Require Getopt::Long 2.39 (up from 2.33) because I am using
getoptionsfromarray().
Use O-O version of Getopt::Long everywhere, to prevent leakage of
configuration in (or out).
Clean up options hash passed to external methods.
0.014 2013-10-14 T. R. Wyant
Use a mock File::HomeDir object for testing.
Have the expansion of ~~ throw an exception if the configuration
directory does not exist. Skip test of ~~ expansion in this case.
Improve tests that compare path to expected, to handle better the case
where the path contains a symbolic link.
Fixed failure in Astro::App::Satpass2::Format->decode(
'desired_equinox_dynamical' ) when the value was not 0.
In file name expansion, made ~~/... expand to configuration directory.
Added the ability to implement a macro as Perl code. These are handled
by Astro::App::Satpass2::Macro::Code. The corresponding satpass2
syntax is 'macro load Module_name'. Document this in TUTORIAL.
Updated required version of Astro::SpaceTrack to one that supports the
REST interface.
Require Astro::Coord::ECI 0.57 because of the international launch
designator problems introduced in 0.051_01.
Make load_package() optionally callable as a method so it can use the
same error reporting mechanism as everyone else if it is available.
Add options to the load_package() calling sequence: lib (which
directory to add to @INC), complain (how to report validation
failures), and fatal (whether and how to report failures to load the
module). A true value of 'fatal' causes the failure not to be cached
so that another load of the module will produce the same failure.
Made $satpass2->time_parser( base => ... ) both parse an input time
and return a formatted time.
Made time parsing conform to the documentation in that if the time was
defaulted, the default sets the base time for the parser.
Implement Astro::App::Satpass2 method sky( lookup => ... ) in terms of
the Astro::SIMBAD::Client script method rather than the query()
method, since the former does not use SOAP::Lite.
0.013 2013-02-14 T. R. Wyant
On failures in t/parse_time_date_manip_*.t, dump the zone of the
parser object, if any.
Require File::HomeDir 0.93, since we are using my_dist_config().
Further tweak dumping of Date::Manip info in tests, in the hope of
getting enough information to actually diagnose test failures.
Eliminate warnings in t/parse_time_date_manip_5.t if Date::Manip v5 is
being used (rather than Date::Manip 6's DM5 back end).
Bypass Date::Manip::DM5 testing under MSWin32, since it fails and I
can't figure out why.
Put traps in t/parse_time_date_manip_5.t to try to figure out where
the DM5 errors are coming from.
Fix warning thrown when there is no configuration directory.
Correct problem with configuring (and dumping the configuration of)
the time parser. The formatter object was being accessed instead.
This has apparantly been present since pretty much the beginning.
Make the time_parser class of record
Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime::Date::Manip rather than ::v5 or
::v6, since we have no control over the environment variables in
effect when we are launched, and thus, if Date::Manip 6 is
installed, which back end is in use.
Redo Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime::Date::Manip logic so that if
Date::Manip 6 is initialized in DM5 mode calls to it get routed
through Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime::Date::Manip::v5. This was
( run in 1.318 second using v1.01-cache-2.11-cpan-75ffa21a3d4 )
