-Don’t beep out the continuity twice by accident in idle mode.
-If the battery voltage report takes longer than the initialiation
-sequence, the igniter continuity would get reported twice.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Record all 32 bits of gyro calibration data in TeleMega and
-EasyMega log files. This fixes computation of the gyro rates
-in AltosUI.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Change TeleDongle LED usage. Green LED flashes when valid
-packet is received. Red LED flashes when invalid packet is
-received.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Replace LPC11U14 SPI driver with non-interrupt version. The
-interrupt code would occasionally wedge on long transfers
-if interrupts were blocked for too long. This affects all
-released TeleGPS products; if you have a TeleGPS device,
-you’ll want to reflash the firmware.

-Compute tilt angle from TeleMega and EasyMega log
-files. This duplicates the quaternion-based angle tracking
-code from the flight firmware inside the ground station
-software so that post-flight analysis can include evaluation
-of the tilt angle.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Shows the tool button window when starting with a data file
-specified. This means that opening a data file from the file
-manager will now bring up the main window to let you operate
-the whole application.

-Show the <span class="emphasis"><em>Connecting</em></span> dialog when using Monitor Idle. Lets
-you cancel the Monitor Idle startup when connecting over the
-radio link.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Make <span class="emphasis"><em>Monitor Idle</em></span> work for TeleGPS devices when connected
-over USB. It’s nice for testing without needing to broadcast
-over the radio.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Use different Windows API to discover USB devices. This
-works better on my Windows 7 box, and will be used if the
-older API fails to provide the necessary information.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Look in more places in the registry to try and identify the
-installed Java version on Windows. If you install the
-default 32-bit version of Windows on a 64-bit OS, the Java
-registry information is hiding \SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node for
-some reason.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-Fix file association on Windows by searching for the
-javaw.exe program instead of assuming it is in
-%SYSTEMROOT%. This makes double-clicking on Altus Metrum
-data files in the file manager work correctly.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-When replaying a file, put <span class="emphasis"><em>done</em></span> in the Age field when we
-reach the end of the file, instead of continuing to count forever.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-In the Scan Channels code, wait for five seconds if we see
-any packet. This is needed because AltOS now sends the
-callsign, serial number and flight number only once every
-five seconds these days.
-</li><li class="listitem">
-In the Scan Channels code, reset pending flight state
-information each time we change channels. This avoids having
-flight computers appear on multiple frequencies by accident.
