+= Release Notes for Version 1.8.1
+:toc!:
+:doctype: article
+
+ Version 1.8.1 includes an important bug fix for Apogee Lockout
+ operation in all flight computers. Anyone using this option
+ must update firmware.
+
+ This release also contains a change in how flight computers
+ with accelerometers deal with speeds around and above Mach
+ 1. In previous versions, the flight computer would completely
+ disregard the barometric sensor above 330m/s (around Mach
+ 1). Now, the data from the barometric sensor is reduced in
+ effect without ever going away entirely. This prevents early
+ drogue deployment for flights which spend considerable time
+ above Mach 1.
+
+ 1.8.1 also contains a couple of minor fixes for AltosUI when
+ analyzing saved data files.
+
+ == AltOS
+
+ AltOS Bug Fixes
+
+ * Handle time value wrapping in Apogee Lockout
+ correctly. Without this, apogee lockout would sometimes
+ prevent any drogue charge from firing.
+
+ * Change Kalman filter on flight computers with accelerometer
+ to continue using the barometric sensor even at high speeds
+ to avoid unintentional drogue deployment during
+ deceleration.
+
+ == AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications
+
+ AltosUI New Features
+
+ * Add new 'Huge' font size to make text even bigger on high
+ resolution monitors.
+
+ AltosUI Bug Fixes
+
+ * Prevent some crashes when reading older saved flight data
+ for graphing or KML export.
+
+ * Load frequency preference at startup. The loading code was
+ broken, so you'd see only the default frequencies.
