This release includes the last of the geometry finding functions that were not wrapped before. A number of user contributions were included and a few simplifications surrounding spicecells were made to make creating them easier. The NAIF produced spiceypy-based "lessons" (long tutorials) have been added to the documentation and both a issue template and code of conduct were added to the project.

🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 This release marks the essentially completed wrapping of cspice, functions not wrapped are either not necessary in python (in my opinion) or are the Alpha-DSK backwards compatibility routines (ending in _p102) in N66 CSPICE. 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉
