Changelog
User
* Fixed an error which prevented the equatorial and polar radii from `<planet>` to be propagated to the initial conditions.
* The header files needed to build the Matlab S-Function are now included in the Windows installer (issue 491).
* The planet radii in `<planet>` can now be specified by the tags `<equatorial_radius>` and `<polar_radius>` which are more self explanatory than `<semimajor_axis>` and `<semiminor_axis>` (which are still valid).
* The support of Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 has been dropped: JSBSim packages for this version of Ubuntu are no longer released.
* Improved the error messages returned by `FGTable`: the file name and line number where the error occurred are now printed.
* Check the number of `<input>` tags for flight controls such as `<pure_gain>` (issue 497). This avoids a crash when some or all `<input>` elements are missing.
* JSBSim now accepts 2 sign conventions for the cross product inertia (`xy`, `xz`, `yz`) in `<mass_balance>` (see PR 502). The sign convention is specified by the parameter `negated_crossproduct_inertia` which defaults to `true` for backward compatibility.
* The attribute `negated_crossproduct_inertia` is now specified in the JSBSim models that are using non zero cross product inertia.
* Turbine engines can now windmill even before they start (issue 494 and PR 509).
* Fixed a sign error in the computation of `aero/h_b-mac-ft` (PR 508 )
* Example scripts and aircraft data (as well as their engines and systems) are now included in the Python wheels (issue 337). They can be accessed from the Python module using the new function `jsbsim.get_default_root_dir()`.
Developer
* Added a regression test for the `<planet>` feature.
* Expanded the unit test of `FGTable`. It now checks:
* Initialization from XML
* Table names using the prefix ``
* 3D tables
* Error handling.
* Fixed a bug where `FGTable` instances were not untied from the property manager during their destruction. This could lead to segmentation faults when the property manager was later destroyed.
* Exceptions raised by `FGTable` are now instances of the `TableException` class.
* A minimum Python version is now specified for the binary wheels (currently 3.6 or higher).
* The Python script `setup.py` is no longer changing the current directory.
* The flag `INSTALL_PYTHON_MODULE` has been renamed `INSTALL_JSBSIM_PYTHON_MODULE`. The former being too generic, this avois potential name clashes with other modules.
* Two new scripts have been added in the `admin` folder:
* `XML_mass_update.py` which allows automatically updating selected XML files in the aircraft data. It has avoided manual updates for the aircraft models which have been updated with the new XML attribute `negated_crossproduct_inertia`.
* `prepare_test_release.sh` which modifies JSBSim to dry run a test release `0.99.xx` to be published to [TestPyPI](https://test.pypi.org/project/JSBSim/)
