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

104 from feature development towards getting all open bugs fix and
105 to produce a stable release. No updates are made to the
106 stable branch except for possible bug fixes, so the stable
107 release has less features than the development release.</p>
