2018-05-26  Orekit 9.2 released

Version 9.2 is a minor release of Orekit. It introduces several new features and bug fixes.

New features introduced in version 9.2 are :

• Kalman filter for orbit determination,
• loading of RINEX files
• loading of ANTEX files
• loading of version d of SP3 files (version a to c were already supported)
• on-the-fly decompression of .Z files
• code measurements
• phase measurements (but only a very basic implementation for now)
• specific attitude laws (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU) with midnight/noon turns
• possibility to use backward propagation in LS orbit determination
• support for any ITRF version, even if EOP files do not match the desired version
• attitude overriding in constant thrust maneuvers
• FunctionalDetector
• filtering mechanism to insert specific decompression or deciphering algorithms during data loading
• frames for Lagrange L1 and L2 point for any two related celestial bodies

WARNING: phase measurements, GNSS attitude and time-dependent process noise are considered experimental features for now, they should not be used yet for operational systems

Several bugs have been fixed.

This version depends on Hipparchus 1.3
