v0.37.0 (2013-12-21, 13:13 UTC1+)
+ Bug: Fixed some issues with the path planner.  First, for the candidate list, 
  I changed the ArrayList to a PriorityQueue.  There was also a bug where every 
  256 iterations it would check to see if the current path was better than the 
  currently saved best path and if it wasn't it would end.  This is an 
  assumption that doesn't always hold and basically resulted in the A* 
  path-planner halting prematurely.  If the A* path-planner didn't reach the 
  goal, the path is finished with a straight-line planner.  Fixing this allows 
  the A* planner to work for longer and hence find much better paths 
  (although it's still has a maximu time limit).
+ Feature: Added engine name, gyro type and myomer name to MechSummary and set
