+- Update to 1.54
+ * Skyfield’s internal table for the ∆T Earth orientation
+ parameter has been updated, so observations extend to this
+ month and predictions to January 2027. Compared to the previous
+ version of Skyfield, this changes the Earth’s rotation angle by
+ up to 0.2 arcseconds in 2025 and 1.1 arcseconds in 2026.
+ * The apparent() method now accepts an optional deflectors=
+ argument that lets callers control the list of bodies (by
+ default the Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn) for which the deflection
+ of light is computed. Callers can provide an empty list to turn
+ deflection off.
+ * The two routines find_risings() and find_settings() now skip
+ deflection when computing the target’s apparent position, which
+ increases their speed by around 30%. The routines aim for only
+ millisecond precision, while deflection only makes a difference
+ of microseconds.
+ * You can now subtract a NumPy array of floating point TT days
+ from a Skyfield Time object of the same length; previously,
+ only a plain int or float was supported as the subtrahend.
+ * Bugfix: the apparent() method in previous Skyfield versions was
+ using the wrong coordinates for Earth’s center when computing
+ how Earth’s gravity deflects positions for topocentric
+ observers. This has been fixed, and Skyfield’s test suite shows
+ that agreement with the Naval Observatory’s high-precision
+ NOVAS library has improved from 0.5 mas to 0.01 mas for
+ topocentric positions. (Astrometric positions were already
+ agreeing at the 0.01 mas level.)
+- Skyfield v1.53
+ * Fix: calling observe() on a position generated by an ephemeris
+ with multiple segments per target, like DE441, was raising an
+ exception
+- Skyfield v1.52
+ * Fix: on rare occasions the find_risings() and find_settings()
+ routines could return an invalid result if no rising or setting
+ was found, instead of returning the moment of transit as their
+ fallback result. #1057
+ * Fix: if the altaz() method was given a position with a NaN
+ coordinate, and was passed temperature_C and pressure_mbar
+ parameters with which to compute refraction, then it would loop
+ forever. #1046
+ * Fix: the new mean_equator_and_equinox_of_date reference frame
+ was off by nearly 0.02 arcseconds because it applied precession
+ but forgot to apply the frame tie between ICRS and J2000.
+ * To avoid deprecation warnings on recent Pythons, Skyfield now
+ avoids Python’s datetime.utcnow() method, and avoids applying
+ the ~ unary operator.
+- Skyfield v1.51
+ * Skyfield now supports ephemeris files like de441.bsp that have
+ two or more segments per target. In earlier versions of
+ Skyfield, only one segment per target would get used, which for
+ de441.bsp was cutting the range of supported dates in half.
+ #691
+ * The documentation now uses the newer name .xyz, which has been
+ quietly supported for around three years, for the ICRF
+ attribute that was originally named .position and holds its
+ position vector. The old name (which will continue to be
+ supported) could lead to code that looked a little redundant,
+ asking for the position of a position:
+ position = mars.at(t)
+ x, y, z = position.position
+ So Skyfield now encourages code to ask for position.xyz
+ instead. An advantage is that the new name is self-documenting:
+ the name reminds the user that it is a 3-vector of Cartesian
+ components.
+ * Skyfield’s internal table for the ∆T Earth orientation
+ parameter has been updated, so that its predictions now extend
+ to 2026-02-28.
+ * Fix: the find_events() Earth satellite method was returning an
+ empty list of events if the only event in the time period was a
+ lone rising or setting. It should now detect and return them.
+ #856 #996 #1017
+ * Fix: the find_events() Earth satellite method, faced with a
+ single pass that was very close to the start time, was
+ returning an inaccurate setting time. It should now return an
+ accurate setting time. #1000
+ * Fix: the find_events() Earth satellite method would miss a
+ rising that came a fraction of a second before the
+ corresponding culmination. It should now find both. #559
+ * Fix: bodies with Kepler orbits (like comets and asteroids) were
+ incorrectly returning positions with only a single dimension if
+ given a Time that was an array but had only one element. This
+ could cause the rising and setting almanac routines to raise a
+ ValueError if they found only a single rising or setting. #959
+ * Fix: the position vectors for Kepler orbit bodies, like comets
+ and asteroids, now have a useful .target_name like 'Ceres' or
+ '1P/Halley' instead of the less informative value 'str'.
+- Skyfield v1.50
+ * A new mean_equator_and_equinox_of_date coordinate frame lets
+ users generate the same coordinates that an almanac might give.
+ * Skyfield now offers a Solar System Barycenter object, so users
+ don’t have to construct the position themselves: SSB.at(t)
+ returns a position whose coordinates and velocity are both zero
+ in the ICRS.
+ * The routines added last year, find_risings() and
+ find_settings(), could occasionally miss a sunrise or moonrise
+ at high latitudes like 70°N where the Sun or Moon barely crests
+ the horizon. This has been fixed at a moderate cost to their
+ runtime. #998
+ * Skyfield no longer tries to protect users by raising an
+ exception if, contrary to the usual custom in astronomy, they
+ ask for ra.degrees or dec.hours. So users no longer need to add
+ an underscore prefix (_degrees or _hours) to bypass the
+ exception, though both names will keep working to support
+ legacy code.
+ * The time methods utc_datetime() and
+ utc_datetime_and_leap_second() now intercept the ValueError
+ that Python raises for a negative year or a Julian-only leap
+ day, and replace the generic error message with a more specific
+ one. #957 #992
+ * If you call load.timescale(builtin=False) to download an
+ updated copy of the IERS finals2000A.all Earth orientation data
+ file, Skyfield now fetches the file with HTTPS, since their old
+ FTP server seems to have disappeared. #1019
+- Skyfield v1.49
+ * A new from_omm() Earth Satellite constructor has been added to
+ load satellite elements from modern OMM data instead of from
+ old TLE data. The Earth satellite documentation now describes
+ two OMM formats and shows how to load satellites from each one.
+ #763
+ * If you print an instance of the PlanetaryConstants class to the
+ screen, it will list all of the segments that it has loaded
+ from binary kernels. #952
+ * The Skyfield documentation is no longer installed alongside the
+ Python code, reducing the size of Skyfield by around 25%. Users
+ who need offline access to the documentation will now need to
+ download it separately.
