- Update to version 1.25
* Added skyfield.data.stellarium.parse_constellations()
and skyfield.data.stellarium.parse_star_names()
to load Stellarium star names and constellation lines.
Constellation lines are featured in a new example script
neowise-chart that produces a finder chart for
comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE.
* The Hipparcos star catalog should now load faster, having
switched behind the scenes to a higher performance Pandas
import routine.
* Fixed the ability of skyfield.timelib.Timescale.utc()
to accept a Python datetime.date object as its argument.
#409
* Slightly lowered the precision of two tests when they
detect that Python is compiled for a 32-bit processor, so
the test suite can succeed when contributors package
Skyfield for 32-bit Linux. #411
- use upstreams custom test runner 'assay'
* The runner does not have any releases yet. No package
available, so use assay-master-252.79f5d78.tar.gz directly
* drop skyfield-pr405-replace-assay-by-pytest.patch
* gh#brandon-rhodes/assay#6, gh#skyfielders/python-skyfield#405
- the unit test expect a truncated hipparcos catalog
* generate-hipparcos.sh
* hip_main.dat.gz
- drop skyfield-pr404-comparefloat.patch addressed upstream
