2 Version 1.4 is a major release. It includes support for our new
3 TeleGPS product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight

10 Replace the 'dit dit dit' tones at startup with the current
11 battery voltage, measured in tenths of a volt. This lets you
12 check the battery voltage without needing telemetry, which
13 is especially useful on EasyMini.
14 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
15 Change state beeping to "Farnsworth spacing", which means
16 they're quite a bit faster than before, and so they take

19 Make the beeper tone configurable, making it possible to
20 distinguish between two Altus Metrum products in the same ebay.
21 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
22 Make the firing time for extra pyro channels configurable,
23 allowing longer (or shorter) than the default 50ms. Only relevant
24 for TeleMega at this time.

32 Fix bug where erasing flights would reset the flight number
33 to 2 on TeleMega and TeleMetrum v2.

41 Add zooming and new content types (terrain and road maps) to
42 map view. Change map storage format from PNG to Jpeg, which
43 saves a huge amount of disk space. You will need to
44 re-download all of your pre-loaded map images.
45 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>

69 system to recognize that the device has rebooted in

72 Hide Tilt Angle in ascent tab for devices that don't have a gyro.

74 Filter out speed and acceleration spikes caused by ejection
75 charge firing when computing the maximum values. This
76 provides a more accurate reading of those maximums.
77 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
78 Fix EasyMini voltage displays. Early EasyMini prototypes
79 used a 3.0V regulator, and AltosUI still used that value as
80 the basis of the computation. Production EasyMini boards
81 have always shipped with a 3.3V regulator. Also, purple
82 EasyMini boards sensed the battery voltage past the blocking
83 diode, resulting in a drop of about 150mV from the true
84 battery voltage. Compensate for that when displaying the

92 pre-1.0 firmware. Those ancient versions didn't report the

106 Re-create the drill template images; they should print
107 correctly from Firefox at least. Ship these as individual
108 PDF files so they're easy to print.
109 </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
110 Add a description of the 'Apogee Lockout' setting, which
111 prevents the apogee charge from firing for a configurable
112 amount of time after boost.
