[Orekit Developers] Orekit 9.2 released

[MAISONOBE Luc <luc.maisonobe@c-s.fr>]

The Orekit team is pleased to announce that version 9.2 of Orekit has  
been released today.

Version 9.2 is a minor release of Orekit. It introduces several new  
features and bug fixes.

New features introduced in version 9.2 are :


  - Kalman filter for orbit determination,
  - loading of RINEX files
  - loading of ANTEX files
  - loading of version d of SP3 files (version a to c were already supported)
  - on-the-fly decompression of .Z files
  - code measurements
  - phase measurements (but only a very basic implementation for now)
  - specific attitude laws (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU) with  
midnight/noon turns
  - possibility to use backward propagation in LS orbit determination
  - support for any ITRF version, even if EOP files do not match the  
desired version
  - attitude overriding in constant thrust maneuvers
  - FunctionalDetector
  - filtering mechanism to insert specific decompression or  
deciphering algorithms during data loading
  - frames for Lagrange L1 and L2 point for any two related celestial bodies

WARNING: phase measurements, GNSS attitude and time-dependent process  
noise are considered experimental features for now, they should not be  
used yet for operational systems

Several bugs have been fixed.

This version depends on Hipparchus 1.3
