7 Version 1.2 is a minor release. It provides a few new features in AltosUI
8 and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs.
11 AltOS Firmware Changes
14 In TeleMini recovery mode (when booted with the outer two
15 debug pins connected together), the radio parameters are also
16 set back to defaults (434.550MHz, N0CALL, factory radio cal).
19 Add support for reflashing the SkyTraq GPS chips. This
20 requires special host-side code which currently only exists
24 Add MicroPeak support. This includes support for the ATtiny85
25 processor and adaptations to the core code to allow for
26 devices too small to run the multi-tasking scheduler.
29 Correct Kalman filter model error covariance matrix. The
30 values used previously assumed continuous measurements instead
31 of discrete measurements.
39 Handle missing GPS lock in 'Descent' tab. Previously, if the
40 GPS position of the pad was unknown, an exception would be
41 raised, breaking the Descent tab contents.
44 Add preliminary TeleMega support, including configuration,
45 data download and analysis.
48 Improve the graph, adding tool-tips to show values near the
49 cursor and making the displayed set of values configurable,
50 adding all of the flight data as options while leaving the
51 default settings alone so that the graph starts by showing
52 height, speed and acceleration.
55 Make the initial position of the AltosUI top level window
56 configurable. Along with this change, the other windows will
57 pop up at 'sensible' places now, instead of on top of one
61 Add callsign to Monitor idle window and connecting
62 dialogs. This makes it clear which callsign is being used so
63 that the operator will be aware that it must match the flight
64 computer value or no communication will work.
67 When downloading flight data, display the block number so that
68 the user has some sense of progress. Unfortunately, we don't
69 know how many blocks will need to be downloaded, but at least
70 it isn't just sitting there doing nothing for a long time.
73 Add GPS data and a map to the graph window. This lets you see
74 a complete summary of the flight without needing to 'replay'
83 Distribute Mac OS X packages in disk image ('.dmg') format to
84 greatly simplify installation.
87 Provide version numbers for the shared Java libraries to
88 ensure that upgrades work properly, and to allow for multiple
89 Altus Metrum software packages to be installed in the same
90 directory at the same time.
