Release Notes
=============
OpenRocket 22.02.beta.05 (2022-xx-xx)
------------------------
(through PR1658)
## New Features
* **C_D Override for subassemblies now works. Please test!** See (XXX) for important instructions (fixes #1171)
* Rail Button improvements:
* Additional parameters for rail buttons (fixes #1537)
* Added rail buttons to preset parts database
* UI Improvements:
* Visually select child components of assembly components when selecting the parent (fixes #1489). Try selecting a pod, stage, or booster and see.
* Significant improvements to preset selection window (fixes #1481)
* Major improvements to focus behavior. Keyboard navigation in the Component Config dialog is now _much_ more convenient.
* When setting focus to a spinner field, select the entire field by default (fixes #1506)
* After selecting a preset, automatically highlight most commonly edited parameter (fixes #1488). So, for example, after selecting a body tube preset the Length parameter will be selected by default.
* Restore focus to motors, recovery, stage and simulation tables after table action and others (fixes #1558). Simply put, you shouldn't need to click in the table areas just to enable keyboard shortcuts to work.
* Use tab and arrow keys to traverse sim table (fixes #1552)
* Show markers for pods and boosters in rocket side view (fixes #1146)
* Apply preset after double-clicking (fixes #1539)
* Pre-check diameter filters in preset chooser (fixes #1480)

* Ctrl/Cmd+A (select all) keyboard shortcut in component tree, simulation and motor configuration tables (fixes #1549)
## Notable Bug Fixes
* **Scripting now works again. Please test!** (fixes #308, #826, #1108, and #1270)
