--- RELEASE-15.05.01 HOTFIX --- Banana Split ---
This release fixes an important bug. All Revolution hardware running 15.05 should upgrade to 15.05.01. Note that this is a hotfix; it can
simply be flashed without an erase settings. Furthermore, please review your vtolpathfollowersettings:HorizontalVelMax; a value of around 4m/s would be more appropriate for preliminary trialing of a new release and will be changed in future.
Release Notes - OP Next Generation - Version OP15.05.01
** Bug
* [NG-55] - 15.05 PositionHold exhibits fly-away behaviour at the vtolpathfollowersettings maxRollPitch and HorizontalVelMax values.

1. Forced disarm via guidance alarm critical on disarm state
2. Continue to zero stabi including yaw during disarm state just in case it doesn't actually disarm.
1. Fix autoyaw to 0 attitude on takeoff post launch.
2. An error condition abort now properly disarms and continues to contrain thrust and stabi during disarmed state.
3. Increase thrustdown time from 2 to 5 seconds on an error condition (e.g. if 3 m deviation from takeoff position on NE).
Set assisted control state to HOLD when Brake controller transitions to HOLD. This impacts throttle stick behavior as it is different during braking and on brake completion in the hold state.
Also cleanuped and removed unused/old code that triggered HOLD in plans.c
1. Allowing arming in pathplanner
2. Takeoff activation requires throttle to be above 30%
3. Takeoff occurs at the current/actual position and rises vertical to the settings altititude.
4. The details of the takeoff waypoint are effectively ignored - this is a simplicifcation to avoid having to have pathplanner inject a flyvector command from the current location to the waypoint
5. We hard code the condition check for autotakeoff as only one mode is supported.
On landing stausvtolland state of DISARMED, armhandler now detects this and disarms by force equivalent to a pathplanner alarm trigger.
To re-arm, one must leave the land flight mode.
Add sanity checks to protect from waypoint looping inpath planner.
If takeoff initiated and thrust > vtol_min, enter position hold, reflect copletion in pathstatus, and pathplanner will move to next waypoint in a very short period of time.
1. Make autotakeoff height configurable
2. Fix the pidcontroldown transfer to solve the rough transition between pid controllers for landing, takeoff, braking etc.
