10 Support for TeleMetrum v1.1 hardware. Sources for the flash
11 memory part used in v1.0 dried up, so v1.1 uses a different
12 part which required a new driver and support for explicit
13 flight log erasing.
14 </li><li class="listitem">
15 Multiple flight log support. This stores more than one
16 flight log in the on-board flash memory. It also requires
17 the user to explicitly erase flights so that you won’t lose
18 flight logs just because you fly the same board twice in one
19 day.
20 </li><li class="listitem">
21 Telemetry support for devices with serial number &gt;= 256.
22 Previous versions used a telemetry packet format that
23 provided only 8 bits for the device serial number. This
24 change requires that both ends of the telemetry link be
25 running the 0.9 firmware or they will not communicate.
