NAIF is pleased to announce availability of the new SPICE-Enhanced
Cosmographia Version 4.2.
The Release 4.2 is focused on a single major change: upgrading the
Python version used internally and in the program scripting interface
from version 2 to 3. This upgrade made it possible to fix a
long-standing deficiency -- the lack of scripting support in the Windows
version of the program. In the version 4.2, the Python 3-based scripting
interface is available on all three supported environments (OSX, Linux
and Windows).
The full release announcement and installation notes are available at
https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/Cosmographia_Release_4.2.pdf.
The Cosmographia installers are available from their usual location on
the NAIF server,
https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/cosmographia_components.html.
An on-line Cosmographia User's Guide updated for Version 4.2 is found at
its usual location, http://cosmoguide.org.
NAIF recommends for Windows users interested in Cosmographia scripting
and any other users with a preference for Python 3 to switch to the new
SPICE-Enhanced Cosmographia Version 4.2 at their convenience.
