-Compared with v2 series, v3 includes a better GPS (uBlox v8 vs v7),
-the TI CC1200 radio used in our other products instead of the CC1120
-used only in TeleMetrum v2 (more or less the same performance, but one less
-device driver for us to have to worry about!), and more accelerometer
-range with approximately the same precision.
+TeleMetrum v4 early units shipped with uBlox MAX-M8C GPS modules, but we had
+a low yield on those boards for some reason. Newer units have the MAX-M10S
+GPS module.

Work on the next version proceeds on the master branch, with occasional
temporary branches created when Bdale is making some major / speculative
-change. Branched with names like 'v3.0' document what we're actually flying
-on the respective PCB revisions.

been well above Mach 1, and reached altitudes
