Development version posted

Bill Gray Jan 11, 2013

Hello all,

I've just posted an update to the development version of Find_Orb, at

http://www.projectpluto.com/pluto/devel/find_orb.htm

I was somewhat inclined to make this the release version. It fixes a
pretty significant numerical stability issue, one that caused weird things
to happen if you tried to get an orbit for an epoch far from the
observation period. However, I'd like to get a bit of feedback before
"promoting" this to release status.

Significant new changes (as described in detail at the above URL)
include the better numerical stability; much better display of orbital
element uncertainties (this one alone is worth the update, in my
opinion); and extensions to the MPC astrometry format.

Please let me know if you run into issues. I'm hoping to hear that
all is well, and that this can be made the new release version.
