KiteViewer 0.5.1

This release supports Julia 1.6.x and Julia 1.7.x . Installation is simplified.
It includes the KiteViewer and a one point kite model.

KiteViewer 0.5.0

This is the first release that contains not only a Viewer, but also a simulation model, the one-point kite power system model. To start the simulation, click the button "START". To steer the kite, use the right and left cursor keys.
This simulation is not yet very useful, because manual steering is very difficult, and an autopilot not yet included. But it already shows the potential of Julia: The simulator is about 20 times as fast as the original Python/ Numba based code and is able to simulate systems with a lot more tether segments in real-time.

KiteViewer 0.4.2

Bugfix release, more robust for changing packages.

KiteViewer 0.4.1

This is the last release that contains only the kite viewer. It limits the versions of GLMakie and Julia and adds the feature of endless reply of a log file.

The next release will contain also a kite power system model.

KiteViewer 0.4 with single window mode

This release introduces the single window mode with one 3D and two 2D graphs in one window.
Using the toggle widget at the bottom right corner you can decide if you want to plot a new
value in the upper or lower graph. You can choose between 9 physical values.

DONE (Version 0.4)

1. Implemented single window mode, one 3D and two 2D plots
   in one window
2. improved the script create_sys_image.sh
3. improved documentation

KiteViewer 0.3 now with real-time numbers and 2D plots

This release provides many new features and bug fixes:

• text and numbers added to the 3D view so that you can see the important numbers in real-time
• lower memory usage (2GB should be sufficient) and lower CPU load
• all settings in settings.yaml now
• adds nine 2D plots

To see all changes, have a look at the file TODO.txt.

Improved KiteViewer

This release has a focus on performance: It needs creates now only 17% CPU load on my laptop and uses a lot less memory. It should work fine now also on older laptops with only 4GB RAM.

Inital release

First public release. What is working:

• replaying flight logs in 3D
• importing .csv log files to Apache arrow format
• launching a kite with the launch button
• adjust the height of a kite with a slider
