48 <p><span class="date">22.7.2011:</span> Version 1.1.7 is
49 <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
50 <p>This release includes automatic rocket design optimization
51 support (<em>Analyze</em> → <em>Rocket optimization</em>).
52 You can optimize any amount of rocket parameters for apogee
53 altitude, maximum velocity or a number of different values.</p>
54 <p>While the automatic optimization is a powerful tool, it is very
55 easy to optimize against particulars of the simulation methods,
56 instead of true physical phenomena. Always keep common sense at
57 hand and take the results with a grain of salt.</p>
58 <p><span class="date">22.7.2011:</span> Version 1.1.6 is
59 <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
60 <p>This release includes initial localization support and
61 translations to French, German and Spanish. This is thanks to the
62 great work of Boris du Reau, and the teams from Tripoli France,
63 Tripoli Spain and ERIG e.V. If you prefer to use some other
64 language than the system default, you can select the language on
65 the "Options" tab of the preferences dialog.</p>
66 <p>The release also includes design scaling support and numerous bug
