Astronoby is still in development phase and no major version has been released yet. Please consider the public API as unstable and expect breaking changes to it as long as a major version has not been released.
If you are already using Astronoby and wish to follow the changes to its public API, please read the upgrading notes for each release.
Sun#horizontal_coordinates method signature changed (#69)
Astronoby::Sun#horizontal_coordinates expects an observer
(Astronoby::Observer) key argument instead of latitude and longitude
angles.
Sun#distance now returns an Astronoby::Distance (#78)
Coordinates::Equatorial#to_horizontal method signature changed (#69)
Astronoby::Coordinates::Equatorial#to_horizontal expects an observer
(Astronoby::Observer) key argument instead of latitude and longitude
angles.
Coordinates::Horizontal constructor and attributes changed (#69)
Astronoby::Coordinates::Horizontal::new now expects an observer
(Astronoby::Observer) key argument instead of latitude and longitude,
and therefore now exposes #observer instead of #latitude and #longitude.
GeocentricParallax#angle method signature changed (#78)
Astronoby::GeocentricParallax#angle's key argument distance is now
expected to be an instance of Astronoby::Distance instead of a Numeric.
GeocentricParallax#for_equatorial_coordinates method signature changed (#69)
Astronoby::GeocentricParallax#for_equatorial_coordinates expects an
observer (Astronoby::Observer) key argument instead of latitude,
longitude and elevation.
Observer constructor changed (#78)
Astronoby::Observer::new's key argument distance is now expected to be
an instance of Astronoby::Distance instead of a Numeric.
Refraction methods signatures changed (#69)
Astronoby::Refraction's constructor doesn't accept the observer key
argument anymore. Therefore, the methods ::angle and
::correct_horizontal_coordinates neither.
Body class removed (#50)
The different behaviors from Body have been moved to other classes like
Events::ObservationEvents.
Rising and setting times and azimuths removed from Sun (#60)
#rising_time, #rising_azimuth, #setting_time and #setting_azimuth
have been removed from Astronoby::Sun and moved to
Astronoby::Events::ObservationEvents.
Sun constructor changed (#64)
The Sun constructor now doesn't accept the epoch key argument anymore,
but only a new time key argument.
Removed in favor of #true_ecliptic_coordinates and
#apparent_ecliptic_coordinates.
Removed in favor of #to_true_horizontal and
#to_apparent_horizontal.
Returns the true ecliptic coordinates for the date's epoch.
Returns the apparent ecliptic coordinates for the date's epoch, including corrections for the nutation and aberration.
Returns the true equatorial coordinates for ths date's epoch.
Returns the apparent equatorial coordinates for the date's epoch, including corrections for the obliquity.
Behaviour not changed.

The Observer class aims to represent an observer's location and local
parameters such as the temperature and astmospheric pressure.
Refraction.new now takes the following arguments:
coordinates(Coordinates::Horizontal)observer(Observer)
Please now use Refraction.correct_horizontal_coordinates.
This returns a refraction angle (Angle) based on an observer (Observer)
and the horizontal coordinates (Coordinates::Horizontal) of a body in the sky.
With a default value of true, this new argument will make consider a
default vertical refraction angle or not.
With a default value of true, this new argument will make consider a
default vertical refraction angle or not.
Returns the equation of time for a given date.
Returns the approximate Earth-Sun distance in meters (Numeric).
Returns the apparent Sun's angular size (Angle).
Returns the apparent Sun's true anomaly (Angle).
Returns the apparent Sun's longitude (Angle) at its perigee.
Returns the UTC Time of the sunrise.`
Returns the Sun's azimuth (Angle) at sunrise.
Returns the UTC Time of the sunset.
Returns the Sun's azimuth (Angle) at sunset.
With the inclusion of Comparable, comparison methods such as #==, #<,
#>, #<=, #>=, #!=, #<=> have been added to Angle.
Calculates the equatorial horizontal parallax for an observed body. The class provided two class methods:
::anglewhich returns the parallax angle::for_equatorial_coordinateswhich correct equatorial coordinates with the parallax correction
This class exposes ::march_equinox, ::june_solstice,
::september_equinox and ::december_soltice that all require a year
(Integer) as parameter and return a date-time (Time) computed for the event.
Time-related utility functions have been deleted, in favor of new classes (see below).
Enables to instantiate a GST from UTC, or convert a GST to UTC.
Enables to instantiate a LST from GST, or convert a LST to GST.
