-GUI:
+Feature roadmap for OpenRocket 1.0
+----------------------------------
-- Preferences dialog
+Must-have:
-BUGS:
+- Go through thrust curves and select best ones
+- Updated splash screen
-COMPUTATION:
+Maybe:
-FILE/STORAGE:
-OTHER:
+Postponed:
+----------
-- web-sivut
+Memory usage:
-DIPPA:
+- Reduce memory leakage when closing windows
+- Make simulation data immutable, don't store copies in undo/redo
+- Profile memory usage during operation (send data to server?)
+Logging:
+- Implement a central logging system
+ - takes messages with different priorities
+ - converts them into LogLine's that are passed to log handlers
+ - printing log handler and storing log handler
+ - bug reports to contain last ~50 log lines
+- LogLine
+ - contains TraceException for log position information
+ - contains sequential number
+- log storing handler stores separately debug and info/warn levels
+- remove all System.out/err writing, replace with logging
--------------------
-LATER:
+Motor support:
-- Simulation delete/copy/paste hotkeys
- (either component or simulation selected, but not both)
-- Add BodyComponent at end of rocket when no component is selected
-- Showing events in plot (maybe future)
-- Search field in motor selection dialog
-- Through-the-wall fins
-- Store materials
+- Integration with thrustcurve.org (syncing?)
+- Reading thrust curves from external directory
+- Plot motor thrust curve
+- Water rocket modelling
-- Streamer CD estimation
-- exporting (maybe later)
+Optimization:
-- Make ThicknessRingComponent implement RadialParent and allow
- attaching components to a TubeCoupler
+- Automatic general rocket optimizer (for altitude, velocity, duration etc)
+ that allows changing any rocket parameters for optimization
+- Analysis of various motors for the rocket. Search all motors by
+ diameter, impulse range, manufacturer, simulate them and present the
+ results.
+
+
+Running:
+- Windows executable wrapper (launch4j)
+- Allow only one instance of OpenRocket running (RMI communication)
+- Running/simulating from command line
+UI issues:
-DONE:

+ - lateral forces on fins
+ - individual fin normal forces?
+- Take into account acceleration, drag, gravity
+- Plot forces against time

-- Error dialogs for load/save/etc
-3.5.:
-- More materials (pre-alpha)
-- File opening from command line
+File support:
-9.5.:
-- Rocket configuration dialog
-- Warnings in poor conditions (transition supersonic)
-- New or old fin-body interference?

-- vertailuosio
+- Reading (and writing) .RKT format
-11.5.:
-- Better default values for components
-- Component analysis dialog show zero total mass and CG
-- Compression support in save
-- Simulation storage options
-12.5.:
-- Load simulations
-- Update file version to 1.0
+Refactoring tasks:
-13.5.:
-- statistiikat softasta
+- Move startup class to src14 directory, remove reflection
+- Remove database etc. initialization from class initialization,
+ create separate set of test motors
+- Extract event rules and data saving from Simulator into listeners
+- How to handle different simulation situations elegantly
+ (launch rod, free flight, recovery)
+- Change SimulationStatus to include methods for obtaining basic
+ position (maybe even change to an interface, implements Cloneable)
+- Modularize calculators, simulators, atmospheric conditions, etc.
+- Change Motor (immutable) to be a factory of MotorInstance (stateful)
-17.5.:
-- jonkin verran TODOja
-- conclusion
-- viitteet
-- Draw the component icons
-- splashscreen
-18.5.:
-- About dialog + version number
+
