+= Release Notes for Version 0.7.1
+:toc!:
+:doctype: article
+
+	Version 0.7.1 is the first release containing our new
+	cross-platform Java-based user interface.
+
+	== AltosUI Application
+
+	* Receive and log telemetry from a connected TeleDongle
+	  device. All data received is saved to log files named with
+	  the current date and the connected rocket serial and flight
+	  numbers. There is no mode in which telemetry data will not
+	  be saved.
+
+
+	* Download logged data from TeleMetrum devices, either through
+	  a direct USB connection or over the air through a TeleDongle
+	  device.
+
+
+	* Configure a TeleMetrum device, setting the radio channel,
+	  callsign, apogee delay and main deploy height. This can be
+	  done through either a USB connection or over a radio link
+	  via a TeleDongle device.
+
+
+	* Replay a flight in real-time. This takes a saved telemetry
+	  log or eeprom download and replays it through the user
+	  interface so you can relive your favorite rocket flights.
+
+
+	* Reprogram Altus Metrum devices. Using an Altus Metrum device
+	  connected via USB, another Altus Metrum device can be
+	  reprogrammed using the supplied programming cable between
+	  the two devices.
+
+
+	* Export Flight data to a comma-separated-values file. This
+	  takes either telemetry or on-board flight data and generates
+	  data suitable for use in external applications. All data is
+	  exported using standard units so that no device-specific
+	  knowledge is needed to handle the data.
+
+
+	* Speak to you during the flight. Instead of spending the
+	  flight hunched over your laptop looking at the screen, enjoy
+	  the view while the computer tells you what’s going on up
+	  there. During ascent, you hear the current flight state and
+	  altitude information. During descent, you get azimuth,
+	  elevation and range information to try and help you find
+	  your rocket in the air. Once on the ground, the direction
+	  and distance are reported.
