-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 Geodetic calculations option in the simulation - options. It's not (yet) a full spherical computation model, but - should be accurate enough for almost all sub-orbital needs.
-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.

-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.
-The web pages have also been somewhat updated and Boris du Reau has - created a separate site - for coordinating the localization efforts for OpenRocket.
OpenRocket can be started in most graphical environments (including Windows) by double-clicking the package icon. No installation is required.
From the command line OpenRocket can be started by - java -jar OpenRocket-12.03.jar
+ java -jar OpenRocket-12.09.jarAndroid version
The Android version allows opening OpenRocket files, viewing simulations and motors. Later versions will allow running
