51 <p><span class="date">25.8.2011:</span> Version 1.1.8 is
52 <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
53 <p>This release contains bug fixes to the optimization methods.
54 It also contains a workaround to a JRE bug that prevents running
55 OpenRocket on some builds of Java 7.</p>
56 <p>The web pages have also been somewhat updated and Boris du Reau has
57 created <a href="http://openrocket.trans.free.fr/">a separate site</a>
58 for coordinating the localization efforts for OpenRocket.</p>
59 <p><span class="date">12.8.2011:</span> Version 1.1.7 is
60 <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
61 <p>This release includes automatic rocket design optimization
62 support (<em>Analyze</em> → <em>Rocket optimization</em>).
63 You can optimize any amount of rocket parameters for apogee
64 altitude, maximum velocity or a number of different values.</p>
65 <p>While the automatic optimization is a powerful tool, it is very
66 easy to optimize against particulars of the simulation methods,
67 instead of true physical phenomena. Always keep common sense at
68 hand and take the results with a grain of salt.</p>
69 <p><span class="date">22.7.2011:</span> Version 1.1.6 is
70 <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
71 <p>This release includes initial localization support and
72 translations to French, German and Spanish. This is thanks to the
73 great work of Boris du Reau, and the teams from Tripoli France,
74 Tripoli Spain and ERIG e.V. If you prefer to use some other
75 language than the system default, you can select the language on
76 the "Options" tab of the preferences dialog.</p>
77 <p>The release also includes design scaling support and numerous bug

82 <p>These are packages ready for use and are the recommended
83 download for normal users. They are pre-packaged with motor
85 <a href="http://www.thrustcurve.org/">thrustcurve.org</a>.</p>
86 <p>OpenRocket requires <strong>Java version 6</strong> or
87 later. The Sun Java Runtime is recommended.</p>
88 <h3>Development release</h3>
89 <p>The development release contains the latest and greatest
90 features, but may contain more bugs than the stable version.

106 <h3>Stable release</h3>
107 <p>Occasionally during OpenRocket development focus will shift
108 from feature development towards getting all open bugs fix and
109 to produce a stable release. No updates are made to the
110 stable branch except for possible bug fixes, so the stable
111 release has less features than the development release.</p>
112 <p>The current stable release is

117 Windows) by double-clicking the package icon. No installation is
119 <p>From the command line OpenRocket can be started by
