+    Version 1.1 is a minor release. It provides a few new features in AltosUI
+    and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs.

+    AltOS Firmware Changes
+    <itemizedlist>
+      <listitem>
+       Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee detection logic to
+       prevent incorrect apogee charge firing.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry packets was
+       from 320ms ago.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Force the radio frequency to 434.550MHz when the debug clock
+       pin is connected to ground at boot time. This provides a way
+       to talk to a TeleMini which is configured to some unknown frequency.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This makes it easy to check radio
+       range without needing to go to flight mode.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Fix a bug which caused the old received telemetry packets to
+       be retransmitted over the USB link when the radio was turned
+       off and back on.
+      </listitem>

+    AltosUI Changes
+    <itemizedlist>
+      <listitem>
+       Fix a bug that caused GPS ready to happen too quickly. The
+       software was using every telemetry packet to signal new GPS
+       data, which caused GPS ready to be signalled after 10 packets
+       instead of 10 GPS updates.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Fix Google Earth data export to work with recent versions. The
+       google earth file loading code got a lot pickier, requiring
+       some minor white space changes in the export code.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from
+       the available options.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Add an 'Age' element to mark how long since a telemetry packet
+       has been received. Useful to quickly gauge whether
+       communications with the rocket are still active.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Add 'Configure Ground Station' dialog to set the radio
+       frequency used by a particular TeleDongle without having to go
+       through the flight monitor UI.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout value. A menu provides a list of
+       reasonable values, or the value can be set by hand.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Re-compute time spent in each state for the flight graph; this
+       figures out the actual boost and landing times instead of
+       using the conservative values provide by the flight
+       electronics. This improves the accuracy of the boost
+       acceleration and main descent rate computations.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Make AltosUI run on Mac OS Lion. The default Java heap space
+       was dramatically reduced for this release causing much of the
+       UI to fail randomly. This most often affected the satellite
+       mapping download and displays.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Change how data are displayed in the 'table' tab of the flight
+       monitoring window. This eliminates entries duplicated from the
+       header and adds both current altitude and pad altitude, which
+       are useful in 'Monitor Idle' mode.
+      </listitem>
+      <listitem>
+       Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet instead of
+       meters.
