AA+ v1.71

Just to let everyone know that v1.71 of AA+ has been released. Updates for this version include:

• Fixed a bug in the AAVSOP87 modules where an incorrect value was being passed for the "nTableSize" parameter to the CVSOP87::Calculate and CVSOP87::Calculate_Dash methods. A spot check of the VSOP87 sample values in AATest.cpp now match exactly with the published VSOP87 test values. Thanks to "Pavel" for reporting this issue.

AA+ v1.70

Just to let everyone know that v1.70 of AA+ has been released. Updates for this version include:

• Fixed a bug in the GetSunRiseTransitSet function in the AATest.cpp module where it incorrectly used Terrestrial Time instead of UTC. The error in the rise / transit / set times was roughly the difference between TT and UTC at the time of calculation. For the examples in AATest.cpp which corresponded to October 2010, DeltaT was 67 seconds. A spot check of the AA+ code against SkyMap now shows both return the same times accurate to the minute. Thanks to "Pavel" for reporting this issue.
• Fixed a bug in the GetMoonRiseTransitSet function in the AATest.cpp module where it incorrectly used Terrestrial Time instead of UTC. The error in the rise / transit / set times was roughly the difference between TT and UTC at the time of calculation. For the examples in AATest.cpp which corresponded to October 2010, DeltaT was 67 seconds. A spot check of the AA+ code against SkyMap now shows both return the same times accurate to the minute. Thanks to "Pavel" for reporting this issue.
• Introduction of a new bool CAARiseTransitSetDetails::bTransitValid member variable. It turns out that celestial objects do not always transit in a 24 hour UTC day. Test code has been added to AATest.cpp to fully exercise all the cases for the three boolean member variables of bRiseValid, bTransitValid & bSetValid. Thanks to "Pavel" for reporting this issue.
