7 Version 1.4 is a major release. It includes support for our new
8 TeleGPS product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight
9 software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station
16 Add support for TeleGPS boards.
21 Replace the 'dit dit dit' tones at startup with the current
22 battery voltage, measured in tenths of a volt. This lets you
23 check the battery voltage without needing telemetry, which
24 is especially useful on EasyMini.
29 Change state beeping to "Farnsworth spacing", which means
30 they're quite a bit faster than before, and so they take
36 Make the beeper tone configurable, making it possible to
37 distinguish between two Altus Metrum products in the same ebay.
42 Make the firing time for extra pyro channels configurable,
43 allowing longer (or shorter) than the default 50ms. Only relevant
44 for TeleMega at this time.
54 Fix bug preventing the selection of the 'Flight State After'
55 mode in pyro configuration.
60 Fix bug where erasing flights would reset the flight number
61 to 2 on TeleMega and TeleMetrum v2.
66 Fix u-Blox GPS driver to mark course and speed data as being
77 Add zooming and new content types (terrain and road maps) to
78 map view. Change map storage format from PNG to Jpeg, which
79 saves a huge amount of disk space. You will need to
80 re-download all of your pre-loaded map images.
85 Add a distance measuring device to the maps view. Select
86 this by using any button other than the left one, or by
87 pressing shift or control on the keyboard while using the
93 Add new 'Ignitor' tab to the flight monitor display for
94 TeleMega's extra ignitors.
99 Increase the width of data lines in the graphs to make them
105 Add additional ignitor firing marks and voltages to the
106 graph so you can see when the ignitors fired, along with
107 the ignitor voltages.
112 Add GPS course, ground speed and climb rate as optional
123 When flashing new firmware, re-try opening the device as
124 sometimes it takes a while for the underlying operating
125 system to recognize that the device has rebooted in
126 preparation for the flashing operation.
131 Hide Tilt Angle in ascent tab for devices that don't have a gyro.
136 Filter out speed and acceleration spikes caused by ejection
137 charge firing when computing the maximum values. This
138 provides a more accurate reading of those maximums.
143 Fix EasyMini voltage displays. Early EasyMini prototypes
144 used a 3.0V regulator, and AltosUI still used that value as
145 the basis of the computation. Production EasyMini boards
146 have always shipped with a 3.3V regulator. Also, purple
147 EasyMini boards sensed the battery voltage past the blocking
148 diode, resulting in a drop of about 150mV from the true
149 battery voltage. Compensate for that when displaying the
155 Display error message when trying to configure maximum
156 flight log size while the flight computer still has flight
162 Handle TeleMetrum and TeleMini eeprom files generated with
163 pre-1.0 firmware. Those ancient versions didn't report the
164 log format, so just use the product name instead.
174 New application designed for use with TeleGPS boards.
179 Shares code with AltosUI, mostly just trimmed down to focus
180 on TeleGPS-related functions.
186 Documentation changes
190 Re-create the drill template images; they should print
191 correctly from Firefox at least. Ship these as individual
192 PDF files so they're easy to print.
197 Add a description of the 'Apogee Lockout' setting, which
198 prevents the apogee charge from firing for a configurable
199 amount of time after boost.
