+Release Notes - OpenPilot - Version RELEASE-15.05
+Fully autonomous flight is now possible with autotakeoff and landing as flight modes available to path plans.  
+An all new implementation of altitude vario provides improved altitude maintenance and smoother flight.
+A new RateTrainer mode for beginners and aerial photography make it easier to learn this mode my limiting the pitch and roll extents.
+4CH transmitters for multirotor and 2CH for ground is now supported.
+It is now easier to takeoff with an improved axislock on yaw implementation.
+Full speed flight just got faster with new motor constraints that maintain your ability to enact roll without requiring a upper throttle limit.
+Setup on GPS just got easier. See the wiki for details.
+New control protocols and support for due telemtry and OSD programing have been added.
+
