The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 0.129 - 2023-03-11

  • Add 53807 Bluewalker 3 to canned magnitudes.
  • Conditionalize canned magnitude test on environment variable so it does not run every time I want to do an authortest.
  • Correct handling of Celestrak-format JSON TLE data. This mostly involved the OBJECT_ID (International designator), and the fact that Celestrak does not provide EPOCH_MICROSECONDS, instead merging it into the EPOCH item as an ISO date/time with a decimal fraction on the end.
