  • Fine tune your rocket for hitting that bullseye apogee.
• 📃 The documentation pages:
  • Added juno3 flight example
  • Data import through headered CSV Related Docs updated.
  • Speedup notebooks and collab docs by not cloning the whole repository.
• 📊 Data handling and exporting:
  • Import flight data to RocketPy with FlightDataImporter class.
  • Added Function low pass signal filtering.
  • Support for headered CSV on Function inputs.
  • Export any rocketpy data to a CSV with Function.savetxt.
• 🛠️ Various maintenance updates and code optimizations.
  • Function priority on reverse arithmetic operations.
  • Parachute trigger is now case insensitive.
  • Updates and speedups do Function interpolation methods.
  • Rocket power on and off drag plots joined into one.
  • Added a argument for optional datasource mutation on Function.set_discrete.
  • Fixed framing of 3D Flight Trajectory plots.
  • Fixed Rockets without a motor not being drawn.
  • Fixed a specific bug in which fin flutter analysis did not find any fins.

For devs 💻

• Testing refactors by splitting into unit and non unit testing.
• Added documentation for tests.
