- Add model parameters Jacobian update from dynamics switches.
- Fixed use of wrong class loader.
- Allow resetting wind-up.
- Improved shiftedBy in (Field)StateCovariance.
- Override getPosition in (Field)ShiftingPVCoordinatesProvider.
- Remove some calls to deprecated methods.
- Revamped release process, using fully automated scripts and continuous integration.
- Fix equals in FieldAbsoluteDate.
- Add durationFrom with TimeStamped in FieldTimeStamped.
- Add Jacobian matrix to Lambert solver.
- Move Lambert solver in dedicated package and wrap it for IOD.
