Description

@mhvk

There is a May 2016 update to SOFA. From the release notes, this seems to include new routines to go from equatorial to ecliptic, so quite possibly relevant. cc @eteq.

    Oh, interesting - from the astropy perspective, this is definitely useful, both for ecliptic and the new long-term precession models (which we probably want to support somehow, but will want to consider carefully how best to do so).

    Hello,

    I have updated erfa to use sofa 20160503. The code is at https://github.com/phn/erfa/tree/sofac20160503.

    I followed the steps in RELEASE.rst; upto and including the "make distcheck" step. I think the steps after that are to be followed in the liberfa/erfa repository.

    I had to edit the file src/Makefile.am to include the new files added by SOFA. (See http://www.iausofa.org/current_changes.html). This step is not mentioned in RELEASE.rst and so I have added it.

    If this is acceptable, should I raised a new pull request or is there a way to attach my branch to this issue?

    Regards,
    Prasanth

    Awesome, thanks @phn! Use a separate pull request, and just be sure to put "closes #34" in the description. That way merging the PR will close this issue.
