• -Adds `Parse_Format_Type` enumerator to `Coordinate` so users can determine what format a Coordinate was parsed from.
• -General parser improvements
• -Code refactoring.

1.1.4.5

• -Adds IsSunUp and IsMoonUp properties to the Celestial class.
• -Removes static variables from eclipse calculations in order to assist in MultiThreaded environments.

1.1.4.1 (Possibly Breaking)

• -Fixes the elusive FormatException occurring under heavy server loads / unit tests.

• -Adds WithinCoordinateSystemBounds property to UTM and MGRS. Used to determine if a conversion from Lat/Long is within the UTM/MGRS systems limitations.
• -Adjusts ToString() property of UTM and MGRS. If conversion from Lat/Long is outside the limitations of the UTM/MGRS system, ToString() will return an emtpy string. Possibly breaking if a UTM/MGRS string is expected at all times.

1.1.3.9 (Possibly Breaking)
