Astro-SpaceTrack

0.052 12-Apr-2011 T. R. Wyant

Add attribute scheme_space_track_attribute, defaulting to 'https'.

        Also added LWP::Protocol::https as a dependency. Both in
        response to USSTRATCOM going to a secure server some time in the
        last 24 hours. Thanks to Thomas Wehr for diagnosing this, and
        reporting both problem and solution.

    Correct check for non-existent attribute in Astro::SpaceTrack getv()
        method.

Update documentation of Mike McCants' status codes.

0.050 12-Oct-2010 T. R. Wyant

Remove the diagnostics inserted in 0.049_01.

0.049_01 02-Oct-2010 T. R. Wyant

Really properly default the 'sort' retrieve option. Honest. More voluminous diagnostics in t/query.t for spacetrack() CPAN

testers failures in 0.049.

0.049 26-Sep-2010 T. R. Wyant

Properly default the 'sort' retrieve option when options are

        specified as a hash reference rather than as command-style
        options.

0.048           18-Sep-2010     T. R. Wyant
    Correct skip counts in t/query.t. Add xt/author/query_skip_sites.t
        to try to ensure they don't get out of whack again.

0.047           17-Sep-2010     T. R. Wyant
    Add Astro::SpaceTrack method getv() to do what get() should have
        done -- return the attribute value without wrapping it in an
        HTTP::Response object.
    Add the -rcs option to the Astro::SpaceTrack search_*() methods, to
        request that the radar cross-section data be hacked into the
        name line of the TLE, in the same way that the effective date is
        for Human Space Flight TLEs.
    Complete rewrite of SpaceTrackTk, to incorporate all (or at least
        the great majority) of the modern bells and whistles.
    Update banner text to try to make clear that only Space Track
        requires registration before use.

Update documentation to show all content_types. Drop requirement for Params::Util.
Require Perl 5.6.2, since that is the earliest version I have a

prayer of actually supporting.
Move author tests from xt/ to xt/author.

0.046 28-Mar-2010 T. R. Wyant

Add methods search_decay(), search_oid(), and box_score(). Replace '' with undef in the array returned by the search_* methods

        in list context. The HTTP::Response returned by these methods
        is unchanged.

0.045_01        22-Mar-2010     T. R. Wyant
    Add -notle option to the search_* methods. This causes them to
        return the results of the search, rather than going on to
        retrieve the TLEs. The results are one entry per line with
        fields tab-delimited, and whitespace compressed and trimmed
        front and back. No change in the list returned in list context,
        except for the whitespace massaging.

0.045           01-Mar-2010     T. R. Wyant
    Redo README to be more like the CPAN-recommended organization and
        contents.

0.044_01        22-Feb-2010     T. R. Wyant
    Move developer tests to xt/, and run them with Build target
        authortest, supplied by inc/My/Module/Build.pm. The author tests
        are not supported with make.
    Split off the data acquisition tests from t/basic.t into t/query.t.
        Both these, plus xt/celestrak_datasets.t and xt/executable.t
        were rewritten to use Test::More 0.40, which is now required for
        building (or at least testing!) the package.
    Make some of the tests in t/query.t TODO, since they require
        historical data, and Space Track seems to have had a database
        problem.
    Convert all code to the CPAN-recommended license scheme. Update all
        copyrights while I was at it.
    Make the version of all production code in the package (including
        Astro::SpaceTrack::Parser, which was previously unversioned) to
        be the same as the package itself.
    Update the counts for the various debris events that are documented
        in Astro::SpaceTrack.

0.044           03-Sep-2009     T. R. Wyant
    Get rid of YAML dump in Build.PL, that was carelessly left in
        after I convinced Module::Build not to insert itself as
        required for configuration (because I also distribute
        Makefile.PL

0.043           01-Sep-2009     T. R. Wyant
    Add the retrieve() options to search_id(), which never had them
        before.
    Test the request arguments generated for each of the Space Track
        methods, to try to make sure we do not lose them again.

0.042           30-Aug-2009     T. R. Wyant
    Add the retrieve() options back to Space Track search requests.
        These were lost in version 0.035 when Perl::Critic compliance
        was added. Thanks to Thomas Wehr for finding this.

0.041           18-Aug-2009     T. R. Wyant
    Add ability to parse effective date from NASA Human Spaceflight.
        Add this to line 0 of the NASA TLE as --effective date_text.
        This is optional, and done only if '-effective' is passed
        to the spaceflight() method. The reason this was done was to
        support the 'effective' attribute of Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE.
        Thanks to Thomas Wehr for reporting the problem this addresses,
        and T. S. Kelso for explaining what was needed to fix it.

0.040           22-Apr-2009     T. R. Wyant
    Suppress undefined value warnings generated when username and
        password are set via 'set' rather than via the relevant
        environment variables when the object is instantiated.

0.039           09-Mar-2009     T. R. Wyant
    Document Celestrak 'direct-fetch-only' data sets
        'cosmos-2251-debris' and 'iridium-33-debris'.
    Fix 'spaceflight' retrieval test, which failed if all NASA's
        orbital elements had epochs in the future.

0.038           13-Feb-2009     T. R. Wyant
    Correct parsing of Rod Sladen's Iridium status web page to
        track the way he recorded the demise of Iridium 33.
    Correct '## no critic' entries to put parens around names of
        policies to be disabled.

Update t/perlcriticrc.

0.037 01-Jan-2009 T. R. Wyant

Retract copyright year test in t/basic.t Update version and copyright in Astro::SpaceTrack. No other

changes.

0.036 31-Dec-2008 T. R. Wyant

Revise Celestrak retrieval status check to get (hopefully) a

better indication of what happened when retrieval failed. Add dependency on Params::Util 0.012; use INSTANCE from that

module, rather than eval{$thing->isa($class)}. Use IO::File rather than FileHandle to open files. Include t/critic.t (Test::Perl::Critic) and t/perlcriticrc

        in distribution, but only test if environment variable
        DEVELOPERTEST is true.
    Remove '## no critic' flags in code, which are not needed at
        the desired severity (--stern) if run with the distributed
        t/perlcriticrc file.

0.035           23-Dec-2008     T. R. Wyant
    When using Rod Sladen's data for Iridium status, mark all
        'failed' iridiums as tumbling, whether or not there is
        a 't' next to their numbers. This makes the Sladen data
        consistent with Mike McCants' (as of 22-Dec-2008) and
        T. S. Kelso's.
    Bring all code up to perlcritic --stern (sometimes by
        declaring exceptions)
    Restructure Build.PL and Makefile.PL to better accomodate
        the installed version of Module::Build or
        ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
    Add minimum Perl version to 'requires' key in Build.PL.
        Not done in Makefile.PL because ExtUtils::MakeMaker
        does not seem to like it.
    Include t/celestrak_datasets.t, t/executable.t,
        t/iridium_status.t, t/manifest.t, and
        t/spacetrack_datasets.t in distribution, but only run
        them if environment variable DEVELOPER_TEST is true.

Move changes from Astro::SpaceTrack pod to Changes file. t/basic.t will now display net errors where generated and

(hopefully) appropriate.

0.034 24-Nov-2008 T. R. Wyant

Eliminate use of UNIVERSAL::isa as a function. Add 'Pragma spacetrack-source = ' header to all methods

        that return TLEs or Iridium status, saying where
        the data came from.
    Add content_source() method to access spacetrack-source
        header.
    Try for less bad test coverage. Good coverage awaits a
        rewrite of the shell() method.

0.033           30-Sep-2008     T. R. Wyant

Fix Build.PL -y (and -n)
Add iridium_status('sladen') to scrape Rod Sladen's Iridium

Constallation Status web page.
Add attribute 'url_iridium_status_sladen'.

0.032 06-Jul-2008 T. R. Wyant

More graceful failure when unable to parse Space Track data.

0.031 21-Dec-2007 T. R. Wyant

Fix embedded modifier bug, exposed by the fixing of the

        corresponding Perl bug (id=22354) in 5.10.0 -- or 5.9.0
        actually. Thanks to Andy Lester's article:
        http://perlbuzz.com/mechanix/2007/12/code-broken-by-regex-fixes-in.html
        which tipped me off before I had to discover the problem
        for myself.

Fixed dependencies in Makefile.PL and Build.PL. Went back to prompting for executables in Makefile.PL and

        Build.PL, as a way to handle apparant ActiveState build
        failure because both they and I were running pl2bat.bat.
    Enhance ExtUtils::MakeMaker version detection in Makefile.PL,
        since ActiveState is apparantly deploying a Perl 5.10
        with a development version of that module.

0.030           24-Oct-2007     T. R. Wyant

Add Celestrak 'sts' data set name to catalog. Different error text for data sets in catalog but 404 and data sets

not in catalog and 404.

0.029 13-Oct-2007 T. R. Wyant

Add Celestrak galileo and sbas data set names to catalog. Document celestrak data set names, or at least how to get them and

in general how they are formed. Trap and error out on invalid spacetrack() data set numbers. Add data set numbers to spacetrack() help. Document how to get the current spacetrack data set names and

numbers, and what happens if they renumber. Trap case where 'get' is called without an argument. Have 'shell' method interpret 'show' as 'get', and special-case

        'get' without arguments to display all attributes. Document
        this.

0.028           15-May-2007     T. R. Wyant
   Interpret missing spacetrack() catalog as a failure,
     even though the request succeeds.

Ditto missing Space Track retrieve() data. Add 'fallback' attribute to cause celestrak() to fall

     back to using Celestrak data if Space Track data
     are not available.

Clear session cookie when username or password change.

0.027 30-Jan-2007 T. R. Wyant

Add ability to search by on-orbit status ('onorbit',

     'decayed', or 'all'), and to exclude 'debris' and
     'rocket' (bodies).

Tweak docs.
Update copyright.

0.026 06-Nov-2006 T. R. Wyant

New location for Mike McCants' Iridium status page. New attributes url_iridium_status_kelso and

     url_iridium_status_mccants so users are not dead
     in the water if this happens again.

0.025           19-Oct-2006     T. R. Wyant

Recognize new Kelso Iridium status '[+]' = working. Make Makefile.PL not run Build.PL with old MakeMaker. Retract kluge to Build.PL, which is no longer needed.

0.024 12-Sep-2006 T. R. Wyant

No substantive changes to this module, but retracted

     t/pod_spelling.t, and tried to make Build.PL work with
     ActiveState's build system.

0.023           08-Sep-2006     T. R. Wyant

Added spaceflight() pseudo-catalogs 'iss' and 'station'. Have spaceflight() return NO_RECORDS on failure, not NO_CAT_ID.
Have attribute_names() return list ref in scalar context. Add attribute iridium_status_format; have iridium_status()

     use this to decide who to access and what format to
     return, including support for the new Celestrak status
     information.
   Have iridium_status() return parsed data with 'portable'
     status if called in list context.

0.011 30-Oct-2005 T. R. Wyant Added 'Pragma: spacetrack-type = orbit' header to the response for those methods that return orbital elements, if the request in fact succeeded. Added content_type() method to check for the above. Played the CPANTS game.
Added "All rights reserved." to copyright statement.

0.010 14-Oct-2005 T. R. Wyant Added the 'direct' attribute, to fetch elements directly from celestrak. And about time, too.
