These will be the last new features added to version 0.6, work now continues on updating the documentation and fine-polishing the code.

The current DRAFT is quite stable and feedback from users is requested on this version.

GAL Version 0.6.0 pre-release now available

A pre-release of GAL 0.6.0 is now available on the website. Users should note that there have been many changes to the interfaces of a lot of routines. Users should therefore install this version separatly from their current working code.

New in this version:

Status recording sub-library
Osculating to mean keplerian elements conversion
Gravity model file import
Gravity models now encapsulated inside routines
Fixes for c++ compatibility
Data extracts from USSPACECOM Satellite Situation Report
Lots of general housekeeping

The full version of 0.6.0 will be released once the manual has been updated.
