What is New ⭐

This release brings new features and improvements to RocketPy. Let's see all of them:

For users 🧑‍🔬

• 🚀 MonteCarlo Simulations!
  • Integrate statistical variance into your simulations parameters!
  • Easily generate alternative stochastic simulation scenarios.
  • Plot all these possible scenarios in a histogram to get the most likely 🧪 .
  • Draw ellipses to discover the most probable landing location 🎯 !
• ⚡ Speedup your Simulations!
  • RocketPy is now faster! Some flights may have up to 50% cut in simulation time.
• 📃 Documentation Updates!
  • Added Prometheus data to Flight Examples.
  • Improvements to descriptions of Environment class and examples.
• 📈 Data Handling Capabilities
  • The Function class can now remove outliers from your data.
  • Perform complex step differentiation in your Functions.
• 🔨 Maintenance and Optimization Improvements
  • Function validation rework for better error handling.
  • Exponential backoff approach to avoid Environment forecast server errors.
• 🐛 Many Bug Fixes
  • Fix of export_eng method for liquid motors.
  • AirBrakes deployment remaining constant in post processing Flight phase.
  • Fixed plot drag curves issue when function source is callable

For Developers 🖥️

• Testing configs of conftest.py was split into several smaller files.
• Refactors to Environment unit tests.
• Deleted older setup.py in favor of recommended pyproject.toml.
• Delete deprecated tools.cached_property.
