+    Version 1.4 is a major release. It includes support for our new
+    TeleGPS product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight
+    software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station

+         Replace the 'dit dit dit' tones at startup with the current
+         battery voltage, measured in tenths of a volt. This lets you
+         check the battery voltage without needing telemetry, which
+         is especially useful on EasyMini.

+         Change state beeping to "Farnsworth spacing", which means

+         Add zooming and new content types (terrain and road maps) to
+         map view. Change map storage format from PNG to Jpeg, which
+         saves a huge amount of disk space. You will need to
+         re-download all of your pre-loaded map images.

+         Add a distance measuring device to the maps view. Select

+         left button.

+       <para>
+         Add additional ignitor firing marks and voltages to the

+         the ignitor voltages.
+       </para>
+      </listitem>

+         When flashing new firmware, re-try opening the device as
+         sometimes it takes a while for the underlying operating
+         system to recognize that the device has rebooted in
+         preparation for the flashing operation.

+         Filter out speed and acceleration spikes caused by ejection

+       <para>
+         Fix EasyMini voltage displays. Early EasyMini prototypes
+         used a 3.0V regulator, and AltosUI still used that value as
+         the basis of the computation. Production EasyMini boards
+         have always shipped with a 3.3V regulator. Also, purple
+         EasyMini boards sensed the battery voltage past the blocking
+         diode, resulting in a drop of about 150mV from the true
+         battery voltage. Compensate for that when displaying the
+         value.
