- Update to v1.33
  * Fix: running ``load.timescale(builtin=False)`` was raising an
    exception ``FileNotFoundError`` if the ``finals2000A.all`` file was
    not already on disk, instead of downloading the file automatically.
    `#477 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/477>`_
- v1.32
  * A new :func:`~skyfield.eclipselib.lunar_eclipses()` routine finds
    lunar eclipses and determines their degree of totality.
    `#445 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/445>`_
  * The almanac module’s new :func:`~skyfield.almanac.meridian_transits()`
    routine can find the moments at which a body transits the meridian and
    antimeridian.
    `#460 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/460>`_
* Fix: the :func:`~skyfield.searchlib.find_minima()` function was
  ignoring its ``epsilon`` and ``num`` arguments and always using the
  default values instead.
  `#475 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/pull/475>`_
* Fix: the ``.epoch`` attribute of Earth satellite objects that were
  built using :meth:`~skyfield.sgp4lib.EarthSatellite.from_satrec()`
  was, alas, a half-day off.
  `#466 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/466>`_
* Fix: the :class:`~skyfield.toposlib.Topos` constructor arguments ``x``
  and ``y``, which never worked properly, have been deprecated and are
  now ignored.
1.31 — 2020 October 24
----------------------
* Skyfield now uses the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) file
  ``finals2000A.all`` for updated ∆T and leap seconds.  The USNO is no
  longer updating the files ``deltat.data`` and ``deltat.preds`` that
  previous versions of Skyfield used, and the ``cddis.nasa.gov`` server
  from which they were fetched will discontinue anonymous FTP on 2020
  October 31.  See `downloading-timescale-files`.
  `#452 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/452>`_
  `#464 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/464>`_
* The comets dataframe built from the MPC file ``CometEls.txt`` now
  includes the ``reference`` column, so users can tell which orbit is
  most recent if there are several orbits for a single comet.  (For
  example, the file currently lists two C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) orbits.)
  The comet examples in the documentation now build a dataframe that
  only includes the most recent orbit for each comet.
  `#463 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/463>`_
* Two new methods :meth:`~skyfield.iokit.Loader.days_old()` and
  :meth:`~skyfield.iokit.Loader.download()` make it simple to download a
  fresh copy of a file if the copy on disk is older than you would like.
1.30 — 2020 October 11
----------------------
* The various ``strftime()`` Skyfield methods now support the ``%j``
  day-of-year format code.
* Fix: the new Julian calendar support broke support for out-of-range
  month numbers, wrapping them into the current year instead of letting
  them overflow into subsequent years.
  `#461 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/461>`_
* Fix: a stray debugging ``print()`` statement was stranded in ``t.dut1``.
  `#455 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/455>`_
* The :class:`~skyfield.timelib.Time` object, if manually instantiated
  without a Julian date fraction, now provides a fraction array with
  dimensions that match the Julian date argument.
  `#458 <https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/issues/458>`_
