+= Release Notes for Version 1.6.3
+:toc!:
+:doctype: article
+
+	Version 1.6.3 adds idle mode to AltosDroid and has bug fixes
+	for our host software on desktops, laptops an android devices
+	along with BlueTooth support for Windows.
+
+	== AltOS
+
+	AltOS fixes:
+
+	* Fix hardware flow control on TeleBT v3.0. RTS/CTS is
+	  wired backwards on this board, switch from using the
+	  hardware to driving these pins with software.
+
+	== AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications
+
+	AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features:
+
+	* Add BlueTooth support for Windows operating system. This
+          supports connections to TeleBT over BlueTooth rather than
+          just USB.
+
+	AltosUI and TeleGPS Fixes:
+
+	* Change Java detection and install on Windows. Detection is
+          now done by looking for the 'javaw.exe' program, and
+          installation by opening a browser on the java.com web site.
+
+	* Delay polling while the Fire Igniters is visible to allow
+          for TeleMega to report back complete status over the radio.
+
+	* Disallow changing RF calibration numbers in the
+          configuration UI. There's no good reason to change this from
+          the field, and recovering is really hard if you haven't
+          written down the right number.
+
+	* Fix USB device discovery on Mac OS X El Capitan. This makes
+          the connected Altus Metrum USB devices appear again.
+
+	* Fix acceleration data presented in MonitorIdle mode for
+	  TeleMetrum v2.0 flight computers.
+
+	== AltosDroid
+
+	AltosDroid new features:
+
+	* Monitor Idle mode. Check state of flight computer while in
+          idle mode over the radio link
+
+	* Fire Igniters. Remotely fire ignires for recovery system
+          ground tests.
+
+	* Remote reboot. Cause the flight computer to reboot over the
+          radio link. This provides a method for switching the flight
+          computer from idle to flight mode without needing to reach
+          the power switch.
+
+	* Configurable frequency menu. Change the set of available
+          frequencies and provide more descriptive names.
+
+	AltosDroid bug fixes:
+
+	* Don't set target location if GPS hasn't locked yet.
+
+	* Fix saving target states so they can be reloaded when the
+          application restarts. When the application is shut down and
+          restarted, all previous target state information will be
+          restored (including GPS position if available).
+
+	* Fix crash on some Android devices for offline maps when
+          changing the map scale or location.
+
+	* Don't require USB OTG support. This kept the latest
+	  AltosDroid from being offered on devices without USB device
+	  support, although it can work without that just fine using
+	  BlueTooth.
+
+	* Don't require bluetooth to be enabled. This allows the
+          application to operate with USB devices or just show old
+          data without turning on the bluetooth radio.
+
+	* Recover old tracker positions when restarting
+          application. This finally allows you to safely stop and
+          restart the application without losing the last known
+          location of any tracker.
+
+	== Documentation
+
+	* Document TeleMega and EasyMega additional pyro channel
+          continuity audio alert pattern.
