    AltOS Firmware Changes
    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Improve sensor boot code. If sensors fail to self-test, the
	  device will still boot up and check for pad/idle modes. If
	  in idle mode, the device will warn the user with a distinct
	  beep, if in Pad mode, the unit will operate as best it
	  can. Also, the Z-axis accelerometer now uses the factory
	  calibration values instead of re-calibrating on the pad each
	  time. This avoids accidental boost detect when moving the
	  device around while in Pad mode.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Fix antenna-down mode accelerometer configuration. Antenna
	  down mode wasn't working because the accelerometer
	  calibration values were getting re-computed incorrectly in
	  inverted mode.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Improved APRS mode. Now uses compressed position format for
	  smaller data size, improved precision and to include
	  altitude data as well as latitude and longitude. Also added
	  battery and pyro voltage reports in the APRS comment field
	  so you can confirm that the unit is ready for launch.

  <para>
    AltosUI changes
    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Display additional TeleMega sensor values in real
	  units. Make all of these values available for
	  plotting. Display TeleMega orientation value in the Ascent
	  and Table tabs.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Support additional TeleMega pyro channels in the Fire
	  Igniter dialog. This lets you do remote testing of all of
	  the channels, rather than just Apogee and Main.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Limit data rate when downloading satellite images from
	  Google to make sure we stay within their limits so that all
	  of the map tiles download successfully.
