Today I released spacecrew v1.1.9.
The main addition is an ISS Tracker using wheretheiss.at (real-time TLE calculation) as primary source with open-notify.org fallback - shows latitude, longitude, altitude (~425 km), velocity (~27,500 km/h), visibility, and location name via reverse geocoding, plus a Google Maps link.
Core improvements: persistent SQLite cache with configurable TTL (30 days default) for all API responses, a config file at ~/.config/spacecrew/config.toml (NASA API key, cache TTL, theme, default mode), CLI arguments for direct mode access (–mode {people,apod,launches,iss}), –clear-cache, –no-cache, Windows-compatible screen clearing, and Python 3.10 support via conditional tomli dependency.
Published to GitHub (tag v1.1.9) and PyPI via the automated workflow.
