Current compiled app list

• cpropep
• prop
• lrd
• mcp
• analyser
• rockflight

Roadmap

• Recover source code history from legacy CVS. See RECOVERY.md.
• Restructure project folder to compile with modern CMake.
• Set up Github workflow for automatic compilation and release for Windows, Mac OS, Linux.
• Implement my own gpcp since original dependency can't be found. See lib/gpcp.
• Document tools usage instruction (minimal).
• Document libraries logic and development (minimal).
• Move static docs and example files from source folders into docs/<app>/.
• Move local app source files to local include subdir or promote to lib, except endpoint.
• Check if libs should be downgraded to local includes.
• Add cgilib dependency via CPM.cmake.
• Create regression tests with input files and expected outputs for known examples.
• Clean up git history with atomic, purposeful edits and methodology comments.

Future

• Fork only cpropep logic into dedicated directory.
• Export cpropep libraries as bindings for Python, C++, Matlab or others needed, like pypropep for example into mpropep.
• Compare results with other tools like nasa/cea.
• Create regression tests based on examples from NASA RP-1311.
