First release of Boule including basic functionality:

  • Definition of the Ellipsoid class: based on the semi-major axis, flattening, geocentric gravitational constant, and angular velocity. Other quantities are derived from these 4.

  • Computation of normal gravity and coordinate conversions between geodetic and geocentric.

  • Ellipsoid realizations for the Earth (WGS84 and GRS80) and Mars.
