1 = Release Notes for Version 1.1
2 include::release-head.adoc[]
5 Version 1.1 is a minor release. It provides a few new features
6 in AltosUI and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs.
10 AltOS Firmware New Features:
12 * Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee
13 detection logic to prevent incorrect apogee charge
16 * Force the radio frequency to 434.550MHz when the
17 debug clock pin is connected to ground at boot
18 time. This provides a way to talk to a TeleMini
19 which is configured to some unknown frequency.
21 * Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This
22 makes it easy to check radio range without needing
27 * Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry
28 packets was from 320ms ago.
30 * Fix a bug which caused the old received telemetry
31 packets to be retransmitted over the USB link when
32 the radio was turned off and back on.
38 * Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from
39 the available options.
41 * Add an 'Age' element to mark how long since a
42 telemetry packet has been received. Useful to
43 quickly gauge whether communications with the rocket
46 * Add 'Configure Ground Station' dialog to set the
47 radio frequency used by a particular TeleDongle
48 without having to go through the flight monitor UI.
50 * Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout
51 value. A menu provides a list of reasonable values,
52 or the value can be set by hand.
54 * Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet
59 * Fix a bug that caused GPS ready to happen too
60 quickly. The software was using every telemetry
61 packet to signal new GPS data, which caused GPS
62 ready to be signalled after 10 packets instead of 10
65 * Fix Google Earth data export to work with recent
66 versions. The google earth file loading code got a
67 lot pickier, requiring some minor white space
68 changes in the export code.
70 * Changed how flight data are downloaded. Now there's
71 an initial dialog asking which flights to download,
72 and after that finishes, a second dialog comes up
73 asking which flights to delete.
75 * Re-compute time spent in each state for the flight
76 graph; this figures out the actual boost and landing
77 times instead of using the conservative values
78 provide by the flight electronics. This improves the
79 accuracy of the boost acceleration and main descent
82 * Make AltosUI run on Mac OS Lion. The default Java
83 heap space was dramatically reduced for this release
84 causing much of the UI to fail randomly. This most
85 often affected the satellite mapping download and
88 * Change how data are displayed in the 'table' tab of
89 the flight monitoring window. This eliminates
90 entries duplicated from the header and adds both
91 current altitude and pad altitude, which are useful
92 in 'Monitor Idle' mode.
