+Version 1.9.10
+This release contains a couple of bug fixes for ground station software.
+Rework the windows DLL build to make AltosUI run on more +instances of Windows 10.
+Adapt to Android security changes which prevent AltosDroid +from storing flights in +/storage/emulated/0/AltusMetrum. Now, flights are stored in +/storage/emulated/0/media/org.altusmetrum.AltosDroid/AltusMetrum +instead. Also, AltosDroid will display an error message if +flight data cannot be logged.
+Version 1.9.9
+This release contains a critical bug fix for a problem +introduced in version 1.9.8 for TeleMega and EasyMega +boards. This problem occurs when using the stored +configuration from 1.9.7 or earlier.
+If you are running 1.9.8 or are upgrading from 1.9.8 on any +version of TeleMega or EasyMega, you must reconfigure all pyro +channels, recalibrate accelerometers, reset the APRS interval, +adjust the beep tone and reset the pyro time.
+Fix EasyMega and TeleMega upgrade process from 1.9.7 or +earlier. 1.9.8 introduced larger delay values, which +required modifying the configuration in-place, and the 1.9.8 +version had a flaw which broke the pyro channel config and +all of the config values beyond that in memory, including +APRS interval, IMU accel calibation, beep tone and pyro +time.
+Fix TeleMega v5.0 mag sensor driver. This driver was quite +broken due to developing it in the presence of the magnetic +beeper on the board. Because of that beeper, the values this +sensor records are not accurate. Fortunately, they are not +used for controlling the flight.
+Parse TeleMega v5.0 log files. A missing check in the code +meant that the TeleMega v5.0 log files would cause an error +when attempting to load them. Logs saved with AltosUI +1.9.8 were not affected, only the presentation of the data +was broken.
+Version 1.9.8
+Add support for TeleMega v5.0
+Extend extra pyro channel times to support delay > 327 seconds
+Support ARM devices in Linux binary release
+Add support for TeleMega v5.0
+Show tilt angle in pad and flight tabs
+Show altitude as well as height (useful for TeleGPS)
+Support devices without GPS receivers
+Show error dialog if device open fails
+Version 1.9.7
+Fix TeleGPS logging so that new data are appended to an existing log correctly
+Support Mac OS X 11 (Big Sur)
+Support Monitor Idle on Easy Timer
+Fix TeleMega v4.0 and TeleMetrum v3.0 configuration in Antenna Down mode
+Show launch sites in Load Maps view
+Add IMU header names to CSV files
+Clean up TeleGPS log corruption due to firmware bugs during firmware update
+Support older devices back to Android version 5.1
+Fix a number of issues that could result in app crashes
+Version 1.9.6
+Fix EasyTimer bug where it might mis-detect boost (either +detect it early or not at all) due to small errors in +accelerometer calibration leading to large accumulated error +in speed.
+Adjust self-test of new 9-axis IMU (BMX-160) so that it +doesn’t think the part has a failure when tested sitting +horizontally.
+Version 1.9.5
+Add Booster mode for all dual-deploy altimeters. Select +"Separation & Apogee" mode in AltosUI to fire the 'main' +channel at first motor burnout and the 'apogee' channel at +apogee.
+Improve reliability of stm32l firmware under heavy +load. This was found using Monitor Idle on TeleMega with all +flash slots full of data which would occasionally lock up.
+Fix orientation label in AltosUI for devices with +radios. This makes the orientation say 'Antenna up' and +'Antenna Down' for TeleMetrum and TeleMega again.
+Fix log data for pyro channels which were inhibited (often +because of a tilt limit). They used to report 'fired' as +soon as they were inhibited, which was misleading. Now they +never report as having been fired.
+Allow Igniter Test to fire each igniter more than once.
+Improve performance of Monitor Idle mode by sending less data for each +update.
+Improve Mac OS X install scripts so that they work on +Catalina. This involves sending the user to get Java from +the AdoptOpenJDK project which provides a version that works +with Java applications.
+Make larger dialogs scrollable for use on smaller screens.
+Fix troubles re-flashing EasyMega boards running older +firmware.
+Add TeleMetrum v3.0 firmware to the Windows +AltosUI packages.
+Version 1.9.4
+Fixed firmware for TeleDongle v3.0 and TeleBT v4.0. Version 1.9.3 bricked those +devices requiring them to be opened up to get them working again.
+Fixed firmware for EasyMini v1.0. Changes in the storage +code caused it to use significantly more RAM which made the +interrupt stack smash into other data structures and cause +the device to panic at startup time.
+Add TeleMetrum v3.0 firmware to the Linux and Mac OSX +AltosUI packages.
+Version 1.9.3
+Add APRS offset. Allows multiple APRS transmitters to coordinate when transmission occurs to allow them to share a frequency.
