V1.0.0

🎉 Outfit 1.0.0 — First stable release

Outfit is a modern Rust library for orbit determination and propagation of small Solar System bodies.
This 1.0.0 release marks the transition from prototype to a robust, validated toolkit suitable for research and survey-scale processing.

🔎 Highlights

• Initial Orbit Determination (IOD)

  • Classical Gauss method on observation triplets
  • Triplet selection & noise realizations framework
  • RMS evaluation of normalized astrometric residuals

• Observations & Data Formats

  • Readers for MPC 80-column, ADES XML (structured & flat), and Parquet (batch)
  • Automatic per-observer error parsing (MPC), optimized batched loading

• Observers & Ephemerides

  • Observatory registry; build observers from MPC code or custom geodetic coordinates
  • JPL DE440 support via Horizons-format and NAIF/SPICE kernels (interpolation + body extraction)

• Orbital Elements & Dynamics

  • Classical Keplerian and Equinoctial elements
  • Universal Kepler solver; two-body propagation; Jacobians for equinoctial conversions

• Reference Frames & Corrections

  • Precession, nutation (IAU 1980), aberration, and light-time correction
  • Ecliptic ↔ equatorial conversions

• Quality, Testing & Tooling

  • Extensive tests: unit, integration, and property-based (proptest)
  • Criterion benchmarks (e.g. Gauss prelim_orbit)
  • Optional progress indicators (indicatif) & loop timing utilities (IterTimer)
  • Unified documentation with consistent Rustdoc style and runnable examples

📦 Cargo features

• jpl-download — automatically downloads and caches JPL ephemerides (Horizons/NAIF)
• progress — enables lightweight progress bars and loop timing for long runs

🧪 Engineering notes

• Large refactors and modularization across initial_orbit_determination/, observations/, observers/, jpl_ephem/, and ref_system/
• Improved error handling with thiserror (#[from]), removal of unwraps in production paths
• Bench and release profiles tuned for scientific workloads (lto = "thin", codegen-units = 1); optional debug symbols in benches
