+= Release Notes for Version 1.2.1
+:toc!:
+:doctype: article
+
+       Version 1.2.1 is a minor release. It adds support for TeleBT and
+       the AltosDroid application, provides several new features in
+       AltosUI and fixes some bugs in the AltOS firmware.
+
+       == AltOS
+
+               AltOS new features:
+
+               * Add support for TeleBT
+      
+               AltOS fixes:
+
+               * In TeleMini recovery mode (when booted with the
+                 outer two debug pins connected together), the radio
+                 parameters are also set back to defaults
+                 (434.550MHz, N0CALL, factory radio cal).
+      
+               * Correct Kalman filter model error covariance
+                 matrix. The values used previously assumed
+                 continuous measurements instead of discrete
+                 measurements.
+      
+               * Fix some bugs in the USB driver for TeleMetrum and
+                 TeleDongle that affected Windows users.
+      
+               * Adjusted the automatic gain control parameters that
+                 affect receive performance for TeleDongle. Field
+                 tests indicate that this may improve receive
+                 performance somewhat.
+
+       == AltosUI Application
+
+               AltosUI application new features:
+
+               * Make the initial position of the AltosUI top level
+                 window configurable. Along with this change, the
+                 other windows will pop up at 'sensible' places now,
+                 instead of on top of one another.
+      
+               * Add GPS data and a map to the graph window. This
+                 lets you see a complete summary of the flight
+                 without needing to 'replay' the whole thing.
+      
+               AltosUI application fixes:
+
+               * Handle missing GPS lock in 'Descent'
+                 tab. Previously, if the GPS position of the pad was
+                 unknown, an exception would be raised, breaking the
+                 Descent tab contents.
+      
+               * Improve the graph, adding tool-tips to show values
+                 near the cursor and making the displayed set of
+                 values configurable, adding all of the flight data
+                 as options while leaving the default settings alone
+                 so that the graph starts by showing height, speed
+                 and acceleration.
+      
+               * Add callsign to Monitor idle window and connecting
+                 dialogs. This makes it clear which callsign is being
+                 used so that the operator will be aware that it must
+                 match the flight computer value or no communication
+                 will work.
+      
+               * When downloading flight data, display the block
+                 number so that the user has some sense of
+                 progress. Unfortunately, we don't know how many
+                 blocks will need to be downloaded, but at least it
+                 isn't just sitting there doing nothing for a long
+                 time.
+
+       == AltosDroid
