Major update. This release contains breaking and non-breaking changes.

Breaking changes:

  • The source and binaries now target Java 8
  • New package structure. Things you weren't meant to use in the first place (and which you probably aren't using) have been moved to a new 'internal' package. You shouldn't need to refactor code resulting from this change unless you were doing something odd.
  • DistanceCalculator has been moved to a new 'calculator' package
  • GeographicCoordinateException has been moved to a new 'exception' package
  • DistanceCalculator.distance(Unit, Latitude, Longitude, Latitude, Longitude) has been removed. Use the existing vararg method distance(Unit, Point ...) instead.

Non-breaking changes:

  • Added BearingCalculator, which calculates the initial bearing and back azimuth
  • Added compass enumerations which represent the directions found on 32, 16 and 8-point compasses, such as north, northwest, etc. The enumerations provide standard direction abbreviations as well as lookup by abbreviation and bearing.
  • Added support for centimeters and inches to DistanceCalculator
  • JUnit tests migrated from JUnit 3.8 to JUnit 4
  • The Eclipse project files have been migrated to Buildship, so they no longer have hardcoded paths to my filesystem. This will make it easier for others to import a working project, but requires the installation of the Buildship plugin.
  • Updated Earth's volumetric mean radius in DistanceCalculator to NASA's latest figure (was 6371 km - now is 6371.008 km)
