Hello Spice/Python Users,

I am happy to announce the release of SpiceyPy 2.1.0! This update includes many new wrapper functions and fixes thanks to better tests and user contributions, so be sure to upgrade. This release includes substantial user contributions from Jorge Diaz del Rio and Brian Carcich, so props to them!

The full changelog can be viewed at https://github.com/AndrewAnnex/SpiceyPy/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md, but here is a short list of important changes:


1. All new N66 DSK functions are wrapped
2. New python context manager to disable/enable found flag catching behavior, see docs for example usage.
3. Improvements to install process and documentation for users with SSL handshake errors.
4. More consistent vectorized function behavior
5. Almost all CSPICE functions are wrapped and tested. See https://github.com/AndrewAnnex/SpiceyPy/wiki/Wrapper-Completion for complete listing.
6. Python 3.4 support has been dropped due issues with the conda. I may be able to fix this later, but affected users are encouraged to update to Python 3.5 or 3.6 (which has a lot of great new features).

Importantly, users who experienced installation issues from earlier in the year should look at the improved installation documentation at https://spiceypy.readthedocs.io/en/master/installation.html for instructions, in particular when encountering SSL handshake errors or other installation issues.

If you run into other issues please go to the github repository to post a bug report.

Thanks! -Andrew
