E.2. Release Notes for Version 1.6.1
Version 1.6.1 includes support for our updated TeleBT v3.0 product and bug fixes in in the flight
software for all our boards and ground station interfaces.
E.2.1. AltOS
AltOS New Features:
• Add support for TeleBT v3.0 boards.
• Add support for uncompressed APRS data, providing support for older APRS receivers.
Uncompressed APRS data is less precise, takes more bandwidth and doesn’t have integrated altitude
data.
AltOS Fixes:
• Make TeleDongle and TeleBT more tolerant of data rate variations from transmitting devices.
E.2.2. AltosUI and TeleGPS Applications
AltosUI and TeleGPS New Features:
• Add map to Monitor Idle display. It’s nice to be able to verify that maps are working, instead of
needing to use Monitor Flight.
AltosUI and TeleGPS Fixes:
• Fix frequency configuration to round values instead of truncate them, avoiding a common 1kHz error
in the setting.
• Turn the Windows stub into a more useful program that can launch the application with parameters
so that file manager icons work more reliably.
• Force KML export to use a C locale so that numbers are formatted with
.
instead of
,
for a decimal
separator in non-US locales.
• Preload map tiles based on distance rather than number of tiles; this means you get the same
resolution covering the entire area, rather than having high resolution near the center and low
resolution further away.
• Allow configuration of frequency and callsign in Monitor Idle mode.
• Fix layout weirdness when resizing windows on Windows. Windows shouldn’t have giant blank spaces
around the useful content anymore.
• Fix layout weirdness when resizing windows on Windows. Windows shouldn’t have giant blank spaces
around the useful content anymore.
• Use a longer filter for descent speed values. This should provide something more useful on the
display, although it will take longer to respond to changes now.
• Make Replay Flight run in realtime again. It had been set to run at 10x speed by mistake.
