Version 1.4.1 is a minor release. It fixes install issues on -Windows and provides the missing TeleMetrum V2.0 firmware. There -aren’t any changes to the firmware or host applications at -all. All Windows users will want to upgrade to get the signed -driver, but Mac and Linux users who do not need the TeleMetrum -V2.0 firmware image will not need to upgrade.

1. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications:

Windows Install Fixes

-Provide signed Windows driver files. This should avoid any need to -disable driver signature checking on Windows 7 or 8. -
-Fix Java version detection and download. Previously, the -installer would only look for Java 6 or 7 and insist on -downloading its own Java bits if there was something else -installed. Furthermore, the 64-bit Java link provided didn’t -work for anyone other than Keith, making it impossible to -install AltOS on any machine with Java SE 8 installed. -

Other Fixes

-Include 1.4 firmware for TeleMetrum V2.0. None of the -installers shipped this file. Now it’s included in the AltOS -packages for Linux, Mac and Windows. -
-Include Google Application Key for map downloading. The 1.4 -release didn’t have this key in the released version of the -software, making map downloading fail for most people. -
