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.
* Fix layout weirdness when resizing windows on
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.
