AeroLS: Low Speed Lifting Surface Aerodynamics

Revision History

January 22, 2024
Version 1.2.2

Modified to remove the seriously out of date MRJAdapter and Bare Bones Browser Launcher libraries and replaced them with the now standard java.awt.Desktop class.

Modified MacOS application bundle to work better on modern versions of MacOS.

The MacOS version has a Java 11 compatible JRE bundled with the application (you do not need to have Java installed to run this version).

Fixed some user interface bugs.

October 10, 2020
Version 1.2.1
Fixed a bug with an underlying library (MRJAdapter) that wasn't compatible with recent versions of Java (Java 15 in particular).

June 27, 2015
Version 1.2.0
This update resuscitates this venerable program and modernizes much of the code base just enough that it can run on modern operating systems. This update changes the package used for units, and fixes a number of user interface bugs. This is also the first release that does not require an installer on Windows and Linux/UNIX. However, the core code is unchanged and there are no new features.

May 27, 2004
Version 1.1.0

Started using a new library that improves MacOS X integration. As a side-effect, the application on any platform can now have multiple main application windows open at a time and there is a "Windows" menu that can be used to navigate between all open windows.

Switched to a new installer that works with Windows XP.

December 21, 2002
Version 1.0.0

First public release of the AeroLS program.
