+= Release Notes for Version 0.8
+:toc!:
+:doctype: article
+
+	Version 0.8 offers a major upgrade in the AltosUI
+	interface.
+
+	== AltosUI Application:  
+
+    	* Post-flight graphing tool. This lets you explore the
+	  behaviour of your rocket after flight with a scroll-able and
+	  zoom-able chart showing the altitude, speed and acceleration
+	  of the airframe along with events recorded by the flight
+	  computer. You can export graphs to PNG files, or print them
+	  directly.
+
+    	* Real-time moving map which overlays the in-progress flight
+	  on satellite imagery fetched from Google Maps. This lets you
+	  see in pictures where your rocket has landed, allowing you
+	  to plan recovery activities more accurately.
+    
+    	* Wireless recovery system testing. Prep your rocket for
+	  flight and test fire the deployment charges to make sure
+	  things work as expected. All without threading wires through
+	  holes in your airframe.
+    
+    	* Optimized flight status displays. Each flight state now has
+	  it's own custom 'tab' in the flight monitoring window so you
+	  can focus on the most important details. Pre-flight, the
+	  system shows a set of red/green status indicators for
+	  battery voltage, apogee/main igniter continutity and GPS
+	  reception. Wait until they're all green and your rocket is
+	  ready for flight. There are also tabs for ascent, descent
+	  and landing along with the original tabular view of the
+	  data.
+    
+    	* Monitor multiple flights simultaneously. If you have more
+	  than one TeleDongle, you can monitor a flight with each one
+	  on the same computer.
+    
+    	* Automatic flight monitoring at startup. Plug TeleDongle into
+	  the machine before starting AltosUI and it will
+	  automatically connect to it and prepare to monitor a flight.
+    
+    	* Exports Google Earth flight tracks. Using the Keyhole Markup
+	  Language (.kml) file format, this provides a 3D view of your
+	  rocket flight through the Google Earth program.
