All advanced features like Altitude Hold, Position Hold, Guidance, Return to Home, +AutoLanding etc. are not released yet and planned for followin releases. + +Flight code changes: +- initial version of Revo code; +- initial version of OPLinkMini code; +- CopterControl/CC3D code reworked to reuse parts of Revo code; +- switched to new ARM-supported GCC 4.7 toolchain with hardware floating point support; +- major code cleanup and use of compiler warning flags to early catch errors; +- major directory and Makefiles reorganisation and cleanup; +- all source code fixed to use float variables instead of doubles (to use hardware FPU); +- added multi-binding support for OPLinkMini; +- added frequency hopping for Revo and OPLinkMini; +- replaced entire flash generation code; +- new U-Blox GPS binary protocol parser; +- added STM32 DSP library; +- updated STM32 CMSIS library; +- updated STM32 USB OTG driver; +- updated STM32 F1 StdPeriph driver library; +- updated STM32 F4 StdPeriph driver library; +- updated FreeRTOS (real-time operating system used by the flight code to run many tasks); +- PyMite moved to a library; +- fixed nasty bug in PyMite Makefile, single file was rebuilt 5 times fo no reason; +- added configurable accel/gyro rates; +- added visualisation of errors in bootloader updater; +- added numerous sanity checks to the flight code to prevent unsafe arming; +- new flash file system, much faster and higly optimised; +- Revo settings are now stored in embedded MCU flash freeing up external one for flight logs; +- OPLinkMini now stores settings in the MCU flash using FlashFS too; +- a catalog of known flash types is used to support different flash types by the same firmware; +- fixed broken overo submodule remote repository link; +- fixed DSMX protocol error with some Tx/Rx combintions; +- added new pios_*.h headers to support commonly used constants, functions and defines; +- numerous fixes for data alignment and memory allocation strategy; +- new bootloaders to support more features (for example, board settings erase); +- added new feature to erase settings without special firmware; +- removed CC/CC3D setting erase firmware (now not necessary due to new erase feature); +- introduced new delayed callback scheduler to run modules from a single task; +- many changes to AeroSim-RC simulator interface; +- fixed broken debug pins API; +- fixed few bugs in the EKF code; +- introduced bootloader updater for F4 boards (including Revo and OSD); +- some changes in RAM and flash memory partitioning to better utilize resources; +- changes in bootloader to allow remote reboot via serial port or radio modem; +- the EKF "Huge Formula" is replaced by optimised set of of loops to make it editable; +- Cyr's attitude patch is ported from CC3D to Revo; +- added magnetometer options (mags are disabled by default for Revo complimenary filter); +- advance camera stabilisation is now officially released; +- fixed numerous internal firmware bugs (too many to list here). + +GCS code changes: +- nice loading splash screen; +- now GCS uses system language by default if translation is available, English otherwise; +- French translation officially added. Please help with other languages; +- fixed some crashes of uploader gadget; +- fixed double config read on restore; +- improvements in GCS options dialog handling; +- optimised option dialog creating; +- added UI tooltips for many options; +- removed unused yet options from configuration UI; +- removed GCS config dialog on the first run, one default is used now if missing; +- added Revo configuration page, similar to CC/CC3D one; +- added OPLinkMini configuration page; +- hardware options are now dynamically enabled/disabled to allow supported configurations only; +- new artwork for all boards everywhere; +- optimised some 3D models; +- new About dialog showing version info and contrubutors list; +- fixed badly broken HiTL options dialog; +- fixed compilation problem on OSX, now GCS should be compatible with OSX 10.5+; +- major vehicle config cleanup with lazy creation (speeds up GCS start); +- UI config pages improvements (responsiveness, etc) +- new auto-update feature added, *.opfw firmware files removed from distributables; +- anti-aliased scope plugin; +- numerous code fixes and cleanups (too many to list here). + +Common parts: +- added simple toolchain install make targets; +- added self-hosted toolchains to ensure that they're always available; +- added support for globally istalled tools used by many working copies; +- added Windows bootstrap script to pull all other build tools; +- added unit testing framework, also supported by Bamboo CI server and agents; +- added code style formatting make targets, easy to use by developers; +- added doxygen make targets. The documentation still must be completely revised, though; +- enforced global line ending policy, source files are updated accordingly; +- reworked packaging to provide correct dependencies and safe multi-threaded builds; +- multiply renames of board names and directories, now we have correct names; +- fixed dependencies in Makefiles, now 'make -j' works reliably; +- CLEAN_BUILD make option is deprecated, use 'package' or 'clean_package' instead; +- simposix elf is now included into linux distribution and can be run with default GCS settings; +- revised 'make help' message; + +Android GCS: +- not officially released yet; +- full rewrite has been started; + +Infrastructure: +- Bamboo continuous integration server is actively used; +- around 10 build agents running 4 different operating systems are set up; +- every push to any branch is now build-tested, and unit tests run are performed; + +Due to major rework of all code and integration of Revo code into mainline (next) it is almost +impossible to list all corresponding JIRA issues for the list above.

All advanced features like Altitude Hold, +Position Hold, Guidance, Return to Home, AutoLanding etc. are not released yet and planned +for following releases. + +Some video tutorials: + http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/DocDE/OpenPilot+Tutorials + +Important Release Notes: + +- Since this release the packaged distribution does not contain firmware files in a folder. + They are now integrated into the GCS so always are up to date. To update you must use + either Vehicle Setup Wizard (big green button on the Welcome GCS tab) or new Auto-Update + button on the Firmware tab. + +- New Auto-Update feature simplifies all OpenPilot board firmware updates. Just click it + and follow on-screen directions to reflash your board (CC, CC3D, OPLinkMini, Revolution + or OSD prototypes). Internally it is the same as Rescue but uses embedded firmware images, + no need to browse for them anymore. + +- New bootloaders are REQUIRED for this release to support some of new features like settings + erase and some others. As always, bootloaders can be updated without any special programmer + hardware using bootloader updaters firmware. Currently F1 boards (CC, CC3D, OPLinkMini) + require bootloader version 4 or higher, and F4 boards (Revolution, OSD prototype) require + bootloader version 5 or higher. Check the wiki for details of how to update them: + http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/BUILDS/Bootloader+update + +- New feature: settings erase option. In the past some special settings erase firmware was + used to erase bad or incompatible settings from CC/CC3D boards. Now it is deprecated, and + this functionality is now integrated into bootloader and firmware. To erase any board + settings you must have latest bootloader. Then enter DFU (boot) mode (using Halt or Rescue + function) and click "Erase settings" button on the Firmware tab and follow on-screen + instructions. This will NOT work with older bootloader, and the button will be disabled. + +- On Linux you should remove OpenPilot package if was installed, then install new one. This + is a known issue and likely be fixed later. + +- On Windows there is a CDC driver installer option. This is an optional USB virtual serial + port useful, for example, for updating your GPS configuration using U-Blox u-Center software. + But it is NOT required to configure boards. If not installed, virtual serial port features + will not be available. This driver is not signed by Microsoft, but in fact it uses serial + port drivers from Windows and only driver information INF file is supplied by the OpenPilot. + Hence it is safe to install. + +- Due to changes in USB descriptors to support new features, USB drivers on Windows must be + updated. If after Rescue or Wizard or Auto-Update button the GCS cannot connect to the board, + it may be due to this issue. To resolve you should remove old drivers (ones with yellow + exclamation mark) and allow Windows to find them again. Here is how: + + Windows XP: + - click on the desktop "My Computer" icon and select "Properties"; + - select the "Hardware" tab by clicking on it once; + - select the "Device Manager" tab by clicking on it; + - scroll down the list until you see the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" selection. + Click it to expand the list of USB drivers. Right-click on the driver(s) you wish to + uninstall and select the "Uninstall" function. The driver will be uninstalled. + + Windows 7/Vista: + - on the desktop right-click the "Computer" icon and select "Properties"; + - select "Device Manager" in the upper left-hand corner of the window; + - scroll down the list until you see the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" selection. + Click it once to expand the list of USB drivers. Right-click on the driver(s) you wish + to uninstall and select the "Uninstall" function. The driver will be uninstalled. + + Then disconnect the board from USB, wait few seconds and connect it back. Windows should find new + drivers and install them properly. + +- GCS now uses system default language (only French and English are available yet, please + contribute). You can choose language using GCS Options dialog if you have existing GCS + configuaration. + +- This release provides only CC3D-class features + radio. For example, it does NOT use + magnetometers to correct yaw and uses simple complimentary filter for attitude estimation. + So you should expect from it only CC3D-like performance. More advanced features will be + enabled step by step in the following releases with some help from new contributors, + we hope. Remember that the first Revo hardware batch was inended for developers, not + end users. + +- Lots of help tooltips were added to the GCS. Try watching them when tuning. + +- If GCS crashes when switching to the Flight data tab, it usually means your PC needs newer + video drivers. That tab contains ModelView widget which uses OpenGL. It is known to crash + in some cases. + +- Sensor calibration is not final. It will be reworked completely to increase its accuracy + and make it easier to use. + +- AltitudeHold mode is enabled, but it is not officially released. Do not expect it to be of + production quality. But you may play with it and report your issues and suggestions. It is + recommended to use some foam to protect baro sensor from wind and light. Also note that + throttle stick in AltitudeHold mode is used to control vertical velocity. + +- Tuning your system please set PIDs as tight as possible for better stabilisation. To soften + the stick response if necessary use new Responsiveness options. This will result in better + stabilisation, and at the same time soft or sharp response according to your preferences. + +- There is no configuration options for Radio module in the Revo config except for Radio + enable/disable and output power. This is intentional because all configuration should be + done using its paired ground OPLink coordinator. Enable radio in the Revo, save and + disconnect Revo from USB. Power it from external supply to continue. Then connect OPLink + board to USB and scroll down the GCS config widget to find OPLink icon in the end of list. + This icon is only available when OPLink is connected and recognised, this also requires new + bootloader and matching to Revo and GCS firmware on the OPLink board. To pair select the Revo + side Radio address in the list of found boards, select it, click Add to add to the list of + paired radios and click Save. After USB unplugging and plugging back your OPLink should show + "Connected", and you can continue with configuration.
