 Jens refactored nearly all of Oolite's code inherited from Aegidian and effectively redesigned the game's entire architecture, making it 21st century ready and causing massive improvements in pretty much everything from performance to graphics to gameplay and so on. He wasn't just another programmer in the project, he was THE programmer in the project. This included introducing '''shaders''', for better visual effects. He also brought in '''JavaScript''' for OXPs, allowing more sophistication. And he was a fearsome partisan for '''Yaw''' in the [[Roll vs Yaw crusades‎]], introducing it into Oolite.
-Hence the long list of Oolite versions (from 1.67 up to 1.76) over the first five years, as he bedded down all the various changes. These versions were unstable and Jens started talking of "the MNSR" (Mythical Next Stable Release (after Aegidian's 1.65)). '''Version 1.76''' was his first important release, coming out in Dec 2011, with a tweak (v1.76.1) the following May. Some of the then development team at that time (Aegidian, Kaks, Micha and another_commander) even met up in a pub in London with some members of the community, fully equipped with laptops and stuff and did the release from inside the pub in full celebration. Versions 1.77/1.771 (2013) were the last of the 'old-style' versions. Then [[User:Cim|Cim]] took over and rejigged significant portions of the code and the gameplay.

-*Yaw control, possibly. The comments say “keypad 1 and 3”, but those don’t work for me (presumably GNUstep/Cocoa differences). Have fun trying to find out what does. To do: disable this in strict mode.

 '''Jens Ayton''' was the '''second lead developer''' for [[Oolite]], taking over from [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] around 2006/7 and surrendering the baton to [[User:Cim|Cim]] in 2013/4.
 Version 1.76 was his first important release, coming out in Dec 2011, with a tweak (v1.76.1) the following May, having been nick-named "the MNSR" (Mythical Next Stable Release (after Aegidian's 1.65)). Some of the then development team at that time (Aegidian, Kaks, Micha and another_commander) even met up in a pub in London with some members of the community, fully equipped with laptops and stuff and did the release from inside the pub in full celebration. Versions 1.77/1.771 (2013) were the last of the 'old-style' versions.
