POFR production release v1.3.2 named " Katherine Johnson ". The name of every POFR release honors the contribution of women in Computer Science and Mathematics. This is a minor version upgrade release and contains improved functionality plus bug fixes.

Creola Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; August 26, 1918 – February 24, 2020) was an American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights.[1][2] During her 33-year career at NASA and its predecessor, she earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations and helped pioneer the use of computers to perform the tasks. The space agency noted her "historical role as one of the first African-American women to work as a NASA scientist".[3]
