+    Version 0.9 adds a few new firmware features and accompanying
+    AltosUI changes, along with new hardware support.
+  </para>
+  <itemizedlist>
+    <listitem>
+      Support for TeleMetrum v1.1 hardware. Sources for the flash
+      memory part used in v1.0 dried up, so v1.1 uses a different part
+      which required a new driver and support for explicit flight log
+      erasing.
+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      Multiple flight log support. This stores more than one flight
+      log in the on-board flash memory. It also requires the user to
+      explicitly erase flights so that you won't lose flight logs just
+      because you fly the same board twice in one day.
+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      Telemetry support for devices with serial number >=
+      256. Previous versions used a telemetry packet format that
+      provided only 8 bits for the device serial number. This change
+      requires that both ends of the telemetry link be running the 0.9
+      firmware or they will not communicate.
