+    Version 1.5 is a major release. It includes support for our new
+    EasyMega product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight
+    software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station

+	  Report extra pyro channel continuity state on EasyMega and
+	  TeleMega via the beeper. This lets you easily verify flight
+	  readiness on these boards after powering up the electronics
+	  on the rail.

+      <listitem>
+	<para>
+	  Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to
+	  increase telemetry radio range. This reduces the amount of
+	  data received as well as increasing battery consumption in
+	  the transmitter.
+	</para>
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+	<para>
+	  Change TeleGPS to have only a single log, and append new
+	  data to it rather than using seperate per-flight logs. This
+	  avoids accidentally filling up log storage by turning
+	  TeleGPS on/off several times.

+	  Increase the maximum range for altitude values from +/-32767m
+	  to +/-2147483647m, allowing the flight computers to function
+	  correctly above the 32km level.

+      </listitem>

+	<para>
+	  Continuously test pyro firing conditions during delay stage,
+	  inhibiting the pyro channel if the test fails. This prevents
+	  firing pyro charges where the conditions were good before
+	  the delay, but become bad before the delay expires.
+	</para>

+	  Allow negative numbers in pyro configuration values. This
+	  lets you specify things like descending speed or
+	  deceleration.

+	  results in launching our application.
