+
+	Version 1.1 is a minor release. It provides a few new features
+	in AltosUI and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs.
+  
+	== AltOS
+
+		AltOS Firmware New Features:
+
+		* Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee
+		  detection logic to prevent incorrect apogee charge
+		  firing.
+
+		* 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.
+
+		* Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This
+		  makes it easy to check radio range without needing
+		  to go to flight mode.
+
+		AltOS Fixes:
+
+		* Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry
+		  packets was from 320ms ago.
+
+		* 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.
+  
+	== AltosUI
+
+		AltosUI New Features:
+
+		* Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from
+		  the available options.
+
+		* 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.
+
+		* Add 'Configure Ground Station' dialog to set the
+		  radio frequency used by a particular TeleDongle
+		  without having to go through the flight monitor UI.
+
+		* Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout
+		  value. A menu provides a list of reasonable values,
+		  or the value can be set by hand.
+
+		* Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet
+		  instead of meters.
+
+		AltosUI Fixes:
+
+		* 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.
+
+		* 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.
+
+		* Changed how flight data are downloaded. Now there's
+		  an initial dialog asking which flights to download,
+		  and after that finishes, a second dialog comes up
+		  asking which flights to delete.
+
+		* 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.
+
+		* 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.
+
+		* 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.
