• The support for Julia 1.0 was dropped.
• The function satellite_position_i was removed.
• All the functions with analysis were removed because they will be implemented in SatelliteAnalysis.jl.
• The keyword argument vJD was renamed to vjd in rv_to_mean_elements_sgp4.
• The keyword argument max_it was renamed to max_iterations in rv_to_mean_elements_sgp4.
• The function compute_RAAN_lt was renamed to ltan_to_raan.
• The epoch was not being correctly obtained by get_epoch in the J2 osculating propagator.
• The maximum degree used when computing the IGRF can now be selected using the keyword argument max_degree.
• Many functions now supports other type of floats, including the orbit propagators.
