<h2>News</h2>
+ <p><span class="date">22.7.2011:</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
+ translations to French, German and Spanish. This is thanks to the
+ great work of Boris du Reau, and the teams from Tripoli France,
+ Tripoli Spain and ERIG e.V. If you prefer to use some other
+ language than the system default, you can select the language on
+ the "Options" tab of the preferences dialog.</p>
+ <p>The release also includes design scaling support and numerous bug
+ fixes.</p>
+ <p><span class="date">10.6.2011:</span> Version 1.1.5 is
+ <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
+ <p>This release includes updates to the printing system which fixes
+ printing on Windows.</p>
+ <p><span class="date">5.3.2011:</span> Version 1.1.4 is
+ <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
+ <p>This release includes initial printing support, thanks to Doug
+ Pedrick. Printing still has a few issues on some platforms.
+ Various bugs have also been fixed.</p>
+ <p><span class="date">6.10.2010:</span> Version 1.1.3 is
+ <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
+ <p>This release includes support for moving and copying components
+ in the component tree using drag-and-drop. Use normal DnD for
+ moving, and control-drag for copy. This release also fixes a
+ severe bug in the undo system.</p>
+ <p><span class="date">7.9.2010:</span> A bug-fix version 1.1.2 is
+ <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
+ <p>This release fixes a severe bug in 1.1.1 that prevented adding stages
+ to rocket designs. Users are recommended to upgrade.</p>
+ <p><span class="date">3.9.2010:</span> Version 1.1.1 is
+ <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
+ <p>For this release a major part of the simulator code has been
+ rewritten for better flexibility in future development. It also
+ includes a vastly improved thrust curve selection dialog, the
+ possibility to loading user-defined thrust curves and better
+ startup times than previous releases.</p>
+ <p>Simulation listeners written for older versions of OpenRocket
+ are not compatible with this release.</p>
+ <p><span class="date">21.3.2010:</span> Version 1.1.0 is
+ <a href="download.html">released</a>!</p>
+ <p>This release includes the first support for loading RockSim
+ rocket design files (.RKT), thanks to contributions by Doug
+ Pedrick. It's also the kick-off of the 1.1 development branch of
+ OpenRocket.</p>
<p><span class="date">10.3.2010:</span> Version 1.0.0 is
