Release 1.2.2 Summary

Release Date

February 16, 2026

Overview

Version 1.2.2 is a patch release that fixes timezone and locale issues in the SatPassTime class, ensuring consistent behavior across all geographic locations and system configurations.

Changes

Fixed

  • Timezone/Locale Issues in SatPassTime (PR #6)
    • Date formatters now explicitly use Locale.US for consistent formatting
    • Timezone explicitly set to UTC for all date/time operations
    • Resolves test failures when running in non-US locales (e.g., Australian timezone)
    • Ensures consistent date/time display regardless of system locale settings

Technical Details

  • Added imports: DateFormatSymbols, Locale, TimeZone
  • Moved date formatter initialization to static initializer block
  • Applied explicit locale (Locale.US) to SimpleDateFormat instances
  • Set timezone to UTC for both TIME_FORMAT and DATE_FORMAT

Testing

  • ✅ All 149 tests pass
  • ✅ PassPredictorTest specifically validated (previously failing in Australian timezone)
  • ✅ No regressions introduced
  • ✅ Clean build with zero errors
