Prior to 0.4.8 and #2954, distance_result was a valid votable field that returned the cone search separation distance in arcsec when doing a Simbad.query_region search. After 0.4.8, distance_result is no longer a valid field, and I cannot find what the equivalent field is. Is there a mapping available between the old votable fields and the new ones?
The PR mentions some column changes but the error message with distance_result isn't described in the PR. I also don't see anything in https://astroquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/simbad/simbad_evolution.html. Now that Simbad.list_votable_fields() returns a mix of tables and columns, is there a way to list all the available columns from all tables?
