+= Release Notes for Version 1.1
+:toc!:
+:doctype: article
+
+	Version 1.1.1 is a bug-fix release. It fixes a couple of bugs
+	in AltosUI and one firmware bug that affects TeleMetrum
+	version 1.0 boards. Thanks to Bob Brown for help diagnosing
+	the Google Earth file export issue, and for suggesting the
+	addition of the Ground Distance value in the Descent tab.
+
+	== AltOS
+
+		AltOS fixes:
+
+      		* TeleMetrum v1.0 boards use the AT45DB081D flash
+		  memory part to store flight data, which is different
+		  from later TeleMetrum boards. The AltOS v1.1 driver
+		  for this chip couldn't erase memory, leaving it
+		  impossible to delete flight data or update
+		  configuration values. This bug doesn't affect newer
+		  TeleMetrum boards, and it doesn't affect the safety
+		  of rockets flying version 1.1 firmware.
+
+	== AltosUI
+
+		AltosUI new features:
+
+      		* The “Descent” tab displays the range to the rocket,
+		  which is a combination of the over-the-ground
+		  distance to the rockets current latitude/longitude
+		  and the height of the rocket. As such, it's useful
+		  for knowing how far away the rocket is, but
+		  difficult to use when estimating where the rocket
+		  might eventually land. A new “Ground Distance” field
+		  has been added which displays the distance to a spot
+		  right underneath the rocket.
+
+		AltosUI fixes:
+
+      		* Creating a Google Earth file (KML) from on-board
+		  flight data (EEPROM) would generate an empty
+		  file. The code responsible for reading the EEPROM
+		  file wasn't ever setting the GPS valid bits, and so
+		  the KML export code thought there was no GPS data in
+		  the file.
+
+      		* The “Landed” tab was displaying all values in metric
+		  units, even when AltosUI was configured to display
+		  imperial units. Somehow I just missed this tab when
+		  doing the units stuff.
+
+      		* Sensor data wasn't being displayed for TeleMini
+		  flight computers in Monitor Idle mode, including
+		  things like battery voltage. The code that picked
+		  which kinds of data to fetch from the flight
+		  computer was missing a check for TeleMini when
+		  deciding whether to fetch the analog sensor data.
