Release Notes for Version 1.4.1
Copyright © 2014 Bdale Garbee and Keith Packard
Version 1.4.1 is a minor release. It fixes install issues on
Windows and provides the missing TeleMetrum V2.0 firmware. There
aren’t any changes to the firmware or host applications at
all. All Windows users will want to upgrade to get the signed
driver, but Mac and Linux users who do not need the TeleMetrum
V2.0 firmware image will not need to upgrade.
1. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications:
Windows Install Fixes
-
Provide signed Windows driver files. This should avoid any need to
disable driver signature checking on Windows 7 or 8.
-
Fix Java version detection and download. Previously, the
installer would only look for Java 6 or 7 and insist on
downloading its own Java bits if there was something else
installed. Furthermore, the 64-bit Java link provided didn’t
work for anyone other than Keith, making it impossible to
install AltOS on any machine with Java SE 8 installed.
Other Fixes
-
Include 1.4 firmware for TeleMetrum V2.0. None of the
installers shipped this file. Now it’s included in the AltOS
packages for Linux, Mac and Windows.
-
Include Google Application Key for map downloading. The 1.4
release didn’t have this key in the released version of the
software, making map downloading fail for most people.
