14 Report extra pyro channel continuity state on EasyMega and
15 TeleMega via the beeper. This lets you easily verify flight
16 readiness on these boards after powering up the electronics

19 Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to
20 increase telemetry radio range. This reduces the amount of
21 data received as well as increasing battery consumption in

24 Change TeleGPS to have only a single log, and append new
25 data to it rather than using seperate per-flight logs. This
26 avoids accidentally filling up log storage by turning

32 Increase the maximum range for altitude values from +/-32767m
33 to +/-2147483647m, allowing the flight computers to function

36 Continuously test pyro firing conditions during delay stage,
37 inhibiting the pyro channel if the test fails. This prevents

54 Integrate with file managers. This provides icons for all of
