1 = Release Notes for Version 1.5
4 Version 1.5 is a major release. It includes support for our new
5 EasyMega product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight
6 software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station
12 * Add support for EasyMega boards.
14 * Make the APRS SSID be configurable. This lets you track
15 different rockets on the same receiver without getting
18 * Report extra pyro channel continuity state on EasyMega and
19 TeleMega via the beeper. This lets you easily verify flight
20 readiness on these boards after powering up the electronics
23 * Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to
24 increase telemetry radio range. This reduces the amount of
25 data received as well as increasing battery consumption in
28 * Change TeleGPS to have only a single log, and append new
29 data to it rather than using seperate per-flight logs. This
30 avoids accidentally filling up log storage by turning
31 TeleGPS on/off several times.
35 * Increase the maximum range for altitude values from +/-32767m
36 to +/-2147483647m, allowing the flight computers to function
37 correctly above the 32km level.
39 * Continuously test pyro firing conditions during delay stage,
40 inhibiting the pyro channel if the test fails. This prevents
41 firing pyro charges where the conditions were good before
42 the delay, but become bad before the delay expires.
44 * Allow negative numbers in pyro configuration values. This
45 lets you specify things like descending speed or

50 AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features
52 * Support telemetry baud rate selection. Adds menus to
53 the flight monitoring and configuration for baud rate
56 * Support APRS SSID configuration.
58 * Integrate with file managers. This provides icons for all of
59 our file types and associates our application with the files
60 so that using a file manager to open a AltOS data file
61 results in launching our application.
65 * Make the 'Graph' button on the landed tab work again.
67 * Make tests for Java on Windows a bit smarter, and also
68 provide the user with the option to skip installing Java for
69 cases where we just can't figure out what version is installed.
