--- RELEASE-13.06 --- Italian Stallion Release ---
|
||||
|
||||
This is the first Revo software release which also supports CC, CC3D, OPLinkMini and unreleased
|
||||
yet OP OSD boards. This is a major change: from different toolchains and build system to the whole
|
||||
source code reformatting according to project style guidelines. The goal of this release is to
|
||||
provide CC-style features for new Revo platform + radio using Revo's internal modem and external
|
||||
OPLinkMini board. All advanced features like Altitude Hold, Position Hold, Guidance, Return to Home,
|
||||
AutoLanding etc. are not released yet and planned for followin releases.
