= Release Notes for Version 1.5
include::release-head.adoc[]
Version 1.5 is a major release. It includes support for our new
EasyMega product, new features and bug fixes in in the flight
software for all our boards and the AltosUI ground station
== AltOS
AltOS New Features
* Add support for EasyMega boards.
* Make the APRS SSID be configurable. This lets you track
different rockets on the same receiver without getting
things mixed up.
* Report extra pyro channel continuity state on EasyMega and
TeleMega via the beeper. This lets you easily verify flight
readiness on these boards after powering up the electronics
on the rail.
* Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to
increase telemetry radio range. This reduces the amount of
data received as well as increasing battery consumption in
the transmitter.
* Change TeleGPS to have only a single log, and append new
data to it rather than using seperate per-flight logs. This
avoids accidentally filling up log storage by turning
TeleGPS on/off several times.
AltOS Fixes
* Increase the maximum range for altitude values from +/-32767m
to +/-2147483647m, allowing the flight computers to function
correctly above the 32km level.
* Continuously test pyro firing conditions during delay stage,
inhibiting the pyro channel if the test fails. This prevents
firing pyro charges where the conditions were good before
the delay, but become bad before the delay expires.
* Allow negative numbers in pyro configuration values. This
lets you specify things like descending speed or
deceleration.
== AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications
AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features
* Support telemetry baud rate selection. Adds menus to
the flight monitoring and configuration for baud rate
selection.
* Support APRS SSID configuration.
* Integrate with file managers. This provides icons for all of
our file types and associates our application with the files
so that using a file manager to open a AltOS data file
results in launching our application.
AltosUI Fixes
* Make the 'Graph' button on the landed tab work again.
* Make tests for Java on Windows a bit smarter, and also
provide the user with the option to skip installing Java for
cases where we just can't figure out what version is installed.
