[TRFfan]

Does anyone know when this will come out?

 

[Charles_McG]

March of last year?

I'm hoping for 17.02

Correct. It was released in March (03) of 2015 (15).

See this thread that you posted last year.

Don't hold your breath for OR 16.3...

My latest updated test version is OR 17.11
I hear they're getting closer to ironing out the few remaining wrinkles. I'm expecting it soon.

I find it hard to be critical of people writing open source stuff, they really are doing us all a service!

Plus, I won't be able to run it until neil_w is kind enough to wrap it up as a stand-alone app, anyway

Couple of thoughts:

- Mods, please move this thread to the Rocketry Electronics and Software forum. [edit] Woops! Already a duplicate put there by the OP. :blush:

- Not sure what the tipping point is to get a new release but we haven't reached it yet ?!?

Indeed. It's natural to be impatient and to grumble, but the fact it that there is a rather small group of folks working on this in their spare time. If anyone out there can code Java I'm sure they'd appreciate some additional help. Sadly I am mostly Java-clueless but I'm hoping to learn a bit and get on board in the future. There are some UI bits that I'd like to work on.

My best estimate for the new version would be "sometime in 2018". I have a hope that it'll be the first half. But that is just a guess, could be sooner or later. There is no committed schedule.

Plus, I won't be able to run it until neil_w is kind enough to wrap it up as a stand-alone app, anyway

It is likely that the new version will be distributed that way, so I won't need to. Oracle is actually recommending this route for distribution of Java apps going forward.

That's good to know! Thanks!

That's good to know! Thanks!

And if they don't then I will do it.

Looking forward to OpenRocket 18.04!

Like a chicken sandwich. Better when it's done.
