+= Release Notes for Version 1.5
+:toc!:
+
+       Version 1.5 is a major release. It includes support for our new
+       EasyMega product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight
+       software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station
+
+       == AltOS
+
+       AltOS New Features
+
+       * Add support for EasyMega boards.
+
+       * Make the APRS SSID be configurable. This lets you track
+         different rockets on the same receiver without getting
+         things mixed up.
+
+       * Report extra pyro channel continuity state on EasyMega and
+         TeleMega via the beeper. This lets you easily verify flight
+         readiness on these boards after powering up the electronics
+         on the rail.
+
+       * Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to
+         increase telemetry radio range. This reduces the amount of
+         data received as well as increasing battery consumption in
+         the transmitter.
+
+       * Change TeleGPS to have only a single log, and append new
+         data to it rather than using seperate per-flight logs. This
+         avoids accidentally filling up log storage by turning
+         TeleGPS on/off several times.
+
+       AltOS Fixes
+
+       * Increase the maximum range for altitude values from +/-32767m
+         to +/-2147483647m, allowing the flight computers to function
+         correctly above the 32km level.
+
+       * Continuously test pyro firing conditions during delay stage,
+         inhibiting the pyro channel if the test fails. This prevents
+         firing pyro charges where the conditions were good before
+         the delay, but become bad before the delay expires.
+
+       * Allow negative numbers in pyro configuration values. This
+         lets you specify things like descending speed or
+         deceleration.
+
+       == AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications
+
+       AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features
+
+       * Support telemetry baud rate selection. Adds menus to
+         the flight monitoring and configuration for baud rate
+         selection.
+
+       * Support APRS SSID configuration.
+
+       * Integrate with file managers. This provides icons for all of
+         our file types and associates our application with the files
+         so that using a file manager to open a AltOS data file
+         results in launching our application.
+
+       AltosUI Fixes
+
+       * Make the 'Graph' button on the landed tab work again.
+
+       * Make tests for Java on Windows a bit smarter, and also
+         provide the user with the option to skip installing Java for
+         cases where we just can't figure out what version is installed.
