51 <p><span class="date">10.3.2012:</span> Version 12.03 for desktop
52 and Android is <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
53 <p>In this release the version numbering scheme has been changed.
54 From now on the version number is <em>YY.MM</em> indicating the
55 year and month of the release. Bug fix releases are indicated by
56 an added "<em>.1</em>".</p>
57 <p>This also marks the first release for Android devices. In this
58 first release you can open files and examine existing simulations,
59 stability data and motor files. The Android port is thanks to
60 work by Kevin Ruland.</p>
61 <p>Enhancements in the desktop version include saving designs in RKT
62 format thanks to Doug Pedrick, freeform fin set import form images
63 by Jason Blood, configurable stage separation
64 events, guided help tours and displaying the computed motor
65 designation class. The application has also been translated to
66 Italian by Mauro Biasutti and Russian by the Sky Dart Team.</p>
67 <p><span class="date">24.11.2011:</span> Version 1.1.9 is
68 <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
69 <p>For this version Richard Graham has implemented geodetic
70 computation methods, which take into account the curvature of the
71 Earth and the coriolis effect. The computation method is selected
72 by the <em>Geodetic calculations</em> option in the simulation
73 options. It's not <em>(yet)</em> a full spherical computation model, but
74 should be accurate enough for almost all sub-orbital needs.</p>
75 <p>Doug Pedrick has also enhanced the printing system with the
76 ability to print fin positioning guides, transition templates and
77 nose cone profiles. Other smaller enhancements and bug fixes are
79 <p><span class="date">25.8.2011:</span> Version 1.1.8 is
80 <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
81 <p>This release contains bug fixes to the optimization methods.
82 It also contains a workaround to a JRE bug that prevents running
83 OpenRocket on some builds of Java 7.</p>
84 <p>The web pages have also been somewhat updated and Boris du Reau has
85 created <a href="http://openrocket.trans.free.fr/">a separate site</a>
86 for coordinating the localization efforts for OpenRocket.</p>
