+- Several additions to the Setup Wizard such as Fixed wing support, GPS selection, TriCopter servo speed selection and ESC calibration;
+- First implementation of Cloud config;
+- Redesigned PFD artwork and addition of multifunctional slide out panels;
+- Support for additional Flexi-IO serial port for Revolution;
+- External (ws281x compatible) status LED support;
+- Several OPLink reliability improvements;
+- Considerable flight performance improvements
