13 Don't beep out the continuity twice by accident in idle mode.
14 If the battery voltage report takes longer than the initialiation
15 sequence, the igniter continuity would get reported twice.

17 Record all 32 bits of gyro calibration data in TeleMega and

25 Replace LPC11U14 SPI driver with non-interrupt version. The
26 interrupt code would occasionally wedge on long transfers
27 if interrupts were blocked for too long. This affects all
28 released TeleGPS products; if you have a TeleGPS device,
29 you'll want to reflash the firmware.

34 Compute tilt angle from TeleMega and EasyMega log
35 files. This duplicates the quaternion-based angle tracking
36 code from the flight firmware inside the ground station
37 software so that post-flight analysis can include evaluation

40 Shows the tool button window when starting with a data file
41 specified. This means that opening a data file from the file
42 manager will now bring up the main window to let you operate

52 Make 'Monitor Idle' work for TeleGPS devices when connected

56 Use different Windows API to discover USB devices. This
57 works better on my Windows 7 box, and will be used if the
58 older API fails to provide the necessary information.

60 Look in more places in the registry to try and identify the
61 installed Java version on Windows. If you install the
62 default 32-bit version of Windows on a 64-bit OS, the Java

66 Fix file association on Windows by searching for the
67 javaw.exe program instead of assuming it is in
68 %SYSTEMROOT%. This makes double-clicking on Altus Metrum
69 data files in the file manager work correctly.

71 When replaying a file, put 'done' in the Age field when we
72 reach the end of the file, instead of continuing to count forever.

74 In the Scan Channels code, wait for five seconds if we see
75 any packet. This is needed because AltOS now sends the
76 callsign, serial number and flight number only once every
77 five seconds these days.

79 In the Scan Channels code, reset pending flight state
80 information each time we change channels. This avoids having
81 flight computers appear on multiple frequencies by accident.
