0.10

The absence of a leapsecond for 2021 has now been included, plus a few improvements to documentation and the test suite. Thanks for the help and encouragement, everyone.

0.9

A shiny new leapsecond, removal of the pytz dependency, and a couple other bug fixes. Thanks, everyone, and especially @mborsetti for pushing me to get this release out the door.

0.8

Update: no new bugs in the past couple weeks, so I'm pushing this to PyPI. (0.8-RC2 and 0.8 are identical.)

0.8 release candidate 1

Release candidate for version 0.8. Please file an issue if you find any problems.

Python 3 only

Version 0.7 of Pysolar has some bugfixes and other improvements, including Python 3 compatibility, but it no longer works on Python 2.

Patches for Python 2 compatibility welcome.

Python 3 support (still works with Python 2)

Fixed a few more problems to make Pysolar work with Python 3. Note that REST2 model is still not validated, and probably doesn't work right. If you stay away from the file rest.py, the library is as well-tested as previous releases.

Starting Python 3 conversion

This is the first release with Python 3 support. Python 2 is still supported.

Note that query_usno.py does not yet support Python 3, but this doesn't affect the normal use of the library. Thanks for Robin Wilson of the University of Southampton for the Py3 conversion.
