+= Release Notes for Version 0.7.1
+:toc!:
+:doctype: article
+
+       Version 0.7.1 is the first release containing our new
+       cross-platform Java-based user interface.

+
+       * Receive and log telemetry from a connected TeleDongle
+         device. All data received is saved to log files named with
+         the current date and the connected rocket serial and flight
+         numbers. There is no mode in which telemetry data will not
+         be saved.
+
+
+       * Download logged data from TeleMetrum devices, either through
+         a direct USB connection or over the air through a TeleDongle
+         device.
+
+
+       * Configure a TeleMetrum device, setting the radio channel,
+         callsign, apogee delay and main deploy height. This can be
+         done through either a USB connection or over a radio link
+         via a TeleDongle device.
+
+
+       * Replay a flight in real-time. This takes a saved telemetry
+         log or eeprom download and replays it through the user
+         interface so you can relive your favorite rocket flights.
+
+
+       * Reprogram Altus Metrum devices. Using an Altus Metrum device
+         connected via USB, another Altus Metrum device can be
+         reprogrammed using the supplied programming cable between
+         the two devices.
+
+
+       * Export Flight data to a comma-separated-values file. This
+         takes either telemetry or on-board flight data and generates
+         data suitable for use in external applications. All data is
+         exported using standard units so that no device-specific
+         knowledge is needed to handle the data.
+
+
+       * Speak to you during the flight. Instead of spending the
+         flight hunched over your laptop looking at the screen, enjoy
+         the view while the computer tells you what’s going on up
+         there. During ascent, you hear the current flight state and
+         altitude information. During descent, you get azimuth,
+         elevation and range information to try and help you find
+         your rocket in the air. Once on the ground, the direction
+         and distance are reported.
