v1.1.0

RocketPy v1.1.0 🚀

The newest version of RocketPy is officialy released

• You can already download it using pip: pip install rocketpy==1.1.0 📦
• Don't forget to check the documentation page: RocketPy Docs 📚

What is new 🌟

This releases includes life-saving features that will improve the rocketpy experience for both users and developers. Let's check it:

For users 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

• 📃 The documentation pages had several improvements, including:
  • A new section for the Function class
  • Better descriptions of the flight simulation results
  • More rocket flight examples added to the "Flight Examples" page
  • Explanations on how to export the flight data to spreadsheet and analyze it
  • Refactor and update the dispersion analysis notebook
  • Improved mass and inertias documentation
  • Fix positions and coordinate system documentation page
• 🚀 Draw your rocket!
  • You can now plot a representation of the Rocket and Motor after defining the objects, this may help a lot when checking the input data.
• 🛠️ Various maintenance updates for smoother and more efficient code performance.
  • Fixed the max_heigth, improving the plots of the Environment class
  • Adding Stability Margin with Mach dependency
  • New get_solution_at_time method to improve multi-stage rocket simulations
  • The Function class now checks and validates the user inputs
  • Improved mass flow rate calculations
  • Fixed a bug that changed the tank's height when adding spherical Caps
  • Some refactors and updates to docstrings were applied to the Environment, Flight and Function classes

For devs 💻

• Documentation of how to build the docs page locally
• Added pylint and flake8 config files
• Documentation on how to run rocketpy on docker
• Integration of Codecov for better code coverage analysis.
• New unit tests added for Flight and Function class
• Removed useless warnings
• Add _MotorPlots Inheritance to Motor Plots Classes
