Version 1.6.8 fixes a TeleMega and TeleMetrum v2.0 bug where -the device could stop logging data and transmitting -telemetry in flight. All TeleMega v1.0, v2.0 and TeleMetrum -v2.0 users should update their flight firmware.

1. AltOS

AltOS fixes:

-Fix STM32L DMA driver to work around STM32L SoC DMA priority -issue t lock-up in the logging or radio code, either of -which could stop data logging and telemetry. -
-Avoid having TeleBT battery status values smash telemetry -packet data by holding a lock during both operations. -
-Don’t start reporting flight 0 when the log fills in -flight. -

AltOS changes:

-Flash LEDS on all products briefly during power up so that -they can be tested during production. -

2. AltosUI, TeleGPS and AltosDroid Applications

AltosUI fixes:

-Re-enable go/no-go entries after they’ve been disabled due -to lack of data. If telemetry information is delayed when -the Ui starts up, sometimes important fields would get -disabled to never re-appear. -
-Deal with ground station failure better during Configure -Ground Station operation by cleaning up pending operations. -
