+ Version 1.1 is a minor release. It provides a few new features in AltosUI
+ and the AltOS firmware and fixes bugs.

+ <para>
+ AltOS Firmware Changes
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ Add apogee-lockout value. Overrides the apogee detection logic to
+ prevent incorrect apogee charge firing.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Fix a bug where the data reported in telemetry packets was
+ from 320ms ago.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Force the radio frequency to 434.550MHz when the debug clock
+ pin is connected to ground at boot time. This provides a way
+ to talk to a TeleMini which is configured to some unknown frequency.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Provide RSSI values for Monitor Idle mode. This makes it easy to check radio
+ range without needing to go to flight mode.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Fix a bug which caused the old received telemetry packets to
+ be retransmitted over the USB link when the radio was turned
+ off and back on.
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ AltosUI Changes
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ Fix a bug that caused GPS ready to happen too quickly. The
+ software was using every telemetry packet to signal new GPS
+ data, which caused GPS ready to be signalled after 10 packets
+ instead of 10 GPS updates.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Fix Google Earth data export to work with recent versions. The
+ google earth file loading code got a lot pickier, requiring
+ some minor white space changes in the export code.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Make the look-n-feel configurable, providing a choice from
+ the available options.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Add an 'Age' element to mark how long since a telemetry packet
+ has been received. Useful to quickly gauge whether
+ communications with the rocket are still active.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Add 'Configure Ground Station' dialog to set the radio
+ frequency used by a particular TeleDongle without having to go
+ through the flight monitor UI.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Add configuration for the new apogee-lockout value. A menu provides a list of
+ reasonable values, or the value can be set by hand.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Re-compute time spent in each state for the flight graph; this
+ figures out the actual boost and landing times instead of
+ using the conservative values provide by the flight
+ electronics. This improves the accuracy of the boost
+ acceleration and main descent rate computations.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Make AltosUI run on Mac OS Lion. The default Java heap space
+ was dramatically reduced for this release causing much of the
+ UI to fail randomly. This most often affected the satellite
+ mapping download and displays.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Change how data are displayed in the 'table' tab of the flight
+ monitoring window. This eliminates entries duplicated from the
+ header and adds both current altitude and pad altitude, which
+ are useful in 'Monitor Idle' mode.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ Add Imperial units mode to present data in feet instead of
+ meters.
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
