+ <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>
