Basilisk v2.10.0

• Stochastic Integration: Added support for stochastic dynamics (dynamics driven by Stochastic Differential Equations).
• Stochastic Integration: Added stochastic dynamics support in core dynamics infrastructure (DynamicObject, StateData,
  and DynParamManager), including diffusion propagation APIs and support for shared noise sources.
• Stochastic Integration: Added diffusion dynamics task support to MJScene via AddModelToDiffusionDynamicsTask() for
  MuJoCo systems with stochastic state dynamics.
• Stochastic Integration: Added stochastic integrator base classes StateVecStochasticIntegrator.
• Stochastic Integration: Added svIntegratorWeakStochasticRungeKutta to support stochastic integrator implementations.
• Stochastic Integration: Added svStochasticIntegratorMayurama (Euler-Mayurama), a 1-weak/1-strong stochastic integrator.
• Stochastic Integration: Added two stochastic integrators: svStochasticIntegratorW2Ito1 and svStochasticIntegratorW2Ito2.
  These are 2-weak-order stochastic integrators.
• Stochastic Integration: Added MuJoCo models (meanRevertingNoise, stochasticAtmDensity, and
  stochasticDragCoeff) to model mean-reverting stochastic processes in dynamics-task modules.
• Stochastic Integration: Added meanRevertingNoiseStateEffector, a generic spacecraft state effector that propagates a scalar
  Ornstein-Uhlenbeck mean-reverting stochastic state.
• Stochastic Integration: Added scenarioStochasticDrag and scenarioStochasticDragSpacecraft, which illustrate how to
  use a state driven by stochastic dynamics to model randomly evolving atmospheric density (and thus drag force).
  The former scenario uses MuJoCo dynamics and the latter spacecraft dynamics.
• Stochastic Integration: Added optional density correction support to dragDynamicEffector through
  densityCorrectionStateName, allowing drag density to be computed as
  (1 + correction) * neutralDensity using a user-selected scalar state.
• Updated tleHandling to map TLE mean elements in TEME to Basilisk osculating elements in J2000/ICRS and to generate TLEs using an SGP4-consistent mean-element iteration.
• Fixed how the gravity spherical harmonic coefficient are loaded in loadGravFromFile(). They were hard coded to 2nd order.
• Added a new scenario, scenario_FaultList, that demonstrates the use of the fault modeling capabilities by selecting faults from BSK_Faults.
• Added a Dockerfile to build Basilisk container images.
• Prebuilt multi-architecture (linux/amd64, linux/arm64) container images are now published to GHCR on each release tag.
• Updated vizInterface to bind to all network interfaces (0.0.0.0) by default, enabling Vizard connectivity when Basilisk is running inside a container.
• Added hillFrameRelativeControl, a Hill-frame PD controller that computes an inertial force command to track deputy relative position and velocity with respect to a chief spacecraft.
• Added thrOnTimeToForce module to convert thruster on-times to thruster forces for use in MuJoCo scenes.
• Fixed reactionWheelStateEffector mixed-model wheel logging so theta outputs are indexed correctly when balanced and jitter wheel models are used together.
• Added a new facetedSpacecraftModel module to convert spacecraft facet geometry from the local facet frames to the spacecraft hub body frame. The module supports both fixed facets and single-axis articulating facets.
• Added a new facetedSpacecraftProjectedArea module to compute the per-facet and total projected area of a faceted spacecraft model using a provided heading direction vector. The module supports three heading configuration options: direct general heading, Sun direction heading, and spacecraft inertial velocity heading.
• Fixed thrJointCompensation hinged joint control sign convention so that the computed compensation torque is applied in the correct direction.
• Added scenarioThrArmControl, a MuJoCo example scenario for spacecraft control using thruster arms.
• Added Python 3.14 support across packaging and CI.
• Updated platform install guides to document Basilisk support for Python 3.14.
• Updated tleHandling TLE parsing to fail explicitly on unsupported catalog-ID encodings.
• Added tests in test_readTLE.py to validate rejection of unsupported catalog-ID encoding.
• Added sccache compiler caching to CI builds to speed up incremental C++ compilation.
• Removed deprecated vizInterface.MultiSphereVector support; use vizInterface.MultiShapeVector.
• Removed deprecated vizInterface.MultiSphere and vizInterface.MultiSphereInfo aliases; use vizInterface.MultiShape and vizInterface.MultiShapeInfo.
• dragDynamicEffector, facetDragDynamicEffector, and cannonballDrag now accept an optional windVelInMsg to compute atmosphere-relative drag velocity; supersedes the former useAtmosphereRelativeVelocity/planetOmega_N flags.
• Updated scenarios to illustrate optional use of wind velocity input.
• Added windBase abstract base class and zeroWindModel concrete implementation.
• Removed Python 3.8 support from the build and CI configuration, and marked Python 3.9 support as deprecated for removal after March 2027.
• Added stripLocation to support the strip imaging mode.
• Updated locationPointing to include the new strip imaging mode.
• Added new tests in test_locationPointing.py to verify the new strip imaging mode.
• Created new message StripStateMsgPayload to interface locationPointing with stripLocation.
• Added the scenario scenarioStripImaging showing how to perform strip imaging tasks.
• Updated Python packaging metadata to use the PEP 639 license fields.
• Added optional sunEclipseInMsg input to facetSRPDynamicEffector so that eclipse shadow conditions scale the SRP force and torque by the illumination factor.
• Added documentation for the bsk-sdk plugin system, covering how to install, write, and distribute out-of-tree Basilisk plugins as standard Python wheels.
• Added BSK_SUPPORT_DATA_CACHE environment variable to dataFetcher.py to allow overriding the default Pooch cache directory for support data files.
• Added missing docstring to gravBodyFactory.createSpiceInterface() that prevented it from being built.
• Added a detailed note for spicePlanetFrames describing default IAU_* behavior and supported alternatives.
• Added an examples optional dependency set for installing example-only Python packages.
• Added a matching python conanfile.py --examples True build option for source checkouts.
• Improved gravityEffector gravity-coefficient loading to enforce consistent truncation.
• Updated spherical-harmonic coefficient parsing to handle missing entries and reject malformed rows.
• Added linkBudget, a communication module that computes link Carrier-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) between two antennas.
• Fixed PythonVariableLogger to resume logging correctly after Reset() and handle edge cases.
• Added spacecraftChargingEquilibrium module to solve coupled servicer/target equilibrium potentials.
• Updated developer workflow for release notes to use snippet files.
• Removed the default --clean flag from setup.py to allow incremental pip wheel builds.
• TLE parsing fixed to be robust to file ending issues between LF and CRLF.
• Updated conanfile.py to pass compiler.cstd=gnu17 during Conan builds.
• Updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM) coefficients file to the 2025 version.
• Local data fetches fall back to using the pooch fetch if local files are not found.
• No longer prefetch ephemeris data kernels on initial local builds.
• Warnings for not connected messages in simpleAntenna for ground-based antennas are no longer raised.
• Updated documentation on how to use bskExamples to download tutorial examples.
• Added thrJointCompensation module for joint torque compensation during thruster firing.
• Added bskPrinciples-6a documentation entry on importing Basilisk data.
• Added inertialCartFeedback module for inertial-frame relative motion control.
• Added DragGeometryMsgPayload for drag computation geometry.
• Added cannonballDrag model for MuJoCo aerodynamic drag.
• Added linearTimeInvariantSystem module for state-space modeling in dynamics tasks.
• Added singleActuatorLTI and forceAtSiteLTI subclasses.
