+:doctype: article
+
+	Version 1.6.1 includes support for our updated TeleBT v3.0
+	product and bug fixes in in the flight software for all our boards
+	and ground station interfaces.
+
+	== AltOS
+
+	AltOS New Features:
+
+	* Add support for TeleBT v3.0 boards.
+
+	* Add support for uncompressed APRS data, providing support
+	  for older APRS receivers. Uncompressed APRS data is less
+	  precise, takes more bandwidth and doesn't have integrated
+	  altitude data.
+
+	AltOS Fixes:
+
+	* Make TeleDongle and TeleBT more tolerant of data rate
+	  variations from transmitting devices.
+
+	== AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications
+
+	AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features:
+
+	* Add map to Monitor Idle display. It's nice to be able to
+	  verify that maps are working, instead of needing to use
+	  Monitor Flight.
+
+	AltosUI and TeleGPS Fixes:
+
+	* Fix frequency configuration to round values instead of
+	  truncate them, avoiding a common 1kHz error in the setting.
+
+	* Turn the Windows stub into a more useful program that can
+	  launch the application with parameters so that file manager
+	  icons work more reliably.
+
+	* Force KML export to use a C locale so that numbers are
+	  formatted with '.' instead of ',' for a decimal separator in
+	  non-US locales.
+
+	* Preload map tiles based on distance rather than number of
+	  tiles; this means you get the same resolution covering the
+	  entire area, rather than having high resolution near the
+	  center and low resolution further away.
+
+	* Allow configuration of frequency and callsign in Monitor
+	  Idle mode.
+
+	* Fix layout weirdness when resizing windows on
+	  Windows. Windows shouldn't have giant blank spaces around
+	  the useful content anymore.

+	  Windows. Windows shouldn't have giant blank spaces around
+	  the useful content anymore.
+
+	* Use a longer filter for descent speed values. This should
+	  provide something more useful on the display, although it
+	  will take longer to respond to changes now.
+
+	* Make Replay Flight run in realtime again. It had been set to
+	  run at 10x speed by mistake.
+
+	== AltosDroid
+
+	AltosDroid New Features:
+
+	* Add offline map support using mapping code from AltosUI.
+
+	* Support TeleDongle (and TeleBT via USB) on devices
+	  supporting USB On-The-Go.
+
+	* Display additional TeleMega pyro channel status in Pad tab.
+
+	* Switch between metric and imperial units.
+
+	* Monitor TeleBT battery voltage.
+
+	* Track multiple devices at the same time, selecting between
+	  them with a menu or using the map.
+
+	* Add hybrid, satellite and terrain map types.
+
+	AltosDroid Fixes:
+
+	* Use standard Android display conventions so that a menu
+	  button is available in the application title bar.
+
+	* Adjust layout to work on large and small screens; shrinking
+	  the go/no-go lights in smaller environments to try and make
+	  everything visible.
+
+	* Make voice announcements depend on current tab.
+
+	* Compute adjustment to current travel direction while in
+	  motion towards rocket.
