  • Corrected midpoint integrator which was not correctly computing the second part of the integration (it was not using positions and velocities increased by half step)
  • Midpoint limited to gravitational and additional accelerations
  • Removed the central body acceleration addition to planets (inertial) when using democratic heliocentric or WHDS (not necessary, verified with Mercury-T and Posidonius with all coordinate system tests)
  • Additional accelerations are computed and added directly to the inertial system
