# rsofa

rsofa is a library to provide International Astronomical
Union's (http://www.iau.org/) SOFA library (http://www.iausofa.org/) in rust.

rsofa is not a port of SOFA routines but uses bindgen to create a direct wrapper for the SOFA C library. rosfa is not officially endorsed by the International Astronomical Union.

Although still pre-1.0 release the package represents a complete wrapping of the
SOFA C library. The only future work to do would be to implement additional test
coverage to ensure agreement with C implementation. However given the 
auto-generated nature of the crate and direct C interface the likelihood of
deviation is low.

## SOFA Version History


| Package Version | SOFA Release |
| --------------- | ------------ | 
| v0.2            | 2020-07-21   |
| v0.1            | 2019-07-22   |


## Update Process

Whenever a new version of the IAU SOFA C library is released, if that update 
includes the addition or deletion of a function in the library. the [build.rs](./build.rs) file should be updated to reflect the change. New functions should be
added to the build list and deprecated functions removed.
