<h2>News</h2>
+ <p><span class="date">24.11.2011:</span> Version 1.1.9 is
+ <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
+ <p>For this version Richard Graham has implemented geodetic
+ computation methods, which take into account the curvature of the
+ Earth and the coriolis effect. The computation method is selected
+ by the <em>Geodetic calculations</em> option in the simulation
+ options. It's not <em>(yet)</em> a full spherical computation model, but
+ should be accurate enough for almost all sub-orbital needs.</p>
+ <p>Doug Pedrick has also enhanced the printing system with the
+ ability to print fin positioning guides, transition templates and
+ nose cone profiles. Other smaller enhancements and bug fixes are
+ also included.</p>
+ <p><span class="date">25.8.2011:</span> Version 1.1.8 is
+ <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
+ <p>This release contains bug fixes to the optimization methods.
+ It also contains a workaround to a JRE bug that prevents running
+ OpenRocket on some builds of Java 7.</p>
+ <p>The web pages have also been somewhat updated and Boris du Reau has
+ created <a href="http://openrocket.trans.free.fr/">a separate site</a>
+ for coordinating the localization efforts for OpenRocket.</p>
+ <p><span class="date">12.8.2011:</span> Version 1.1.7 is
+ <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
+ <p>This release includes automatic rocket design optimization
+ support (<em>Analyze</em> → <em>Rocket optimization</em>).
+ You can optimize any amount of rocket parameters for apogee
+ altitude, maximum velocity or a number of different values.</p>
+ <p>While the automatic optimization is a powerful tool, it is very
+ easy to optimize against particulars of the simulation methods,
+ instead of true physical phenomena. Always keep common sense at
+ hand and take the results with a grain of salt.</p>
<p><span class="date">22.7.2011:</span> Version 1.1.6 is
<a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
<p>This release includes initial localization support and
