The key changes to existing behaviour to watch out for in this update
are:
USB IDs
-------
ArduPilot has now switched to it's own USB IDs for all boards. For
most users this won't cause any change, except they may notice the
drop down list of devices in MissionPlanner will have the ArduPilot
flight controllers labelled more usefully as "ArduPilot" instead of
just "STM32". If you hit issues on windows please try reinstalling the
device drivers from this URL:
https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Tools/MissionPlanner/driver.msi
Terrain
-------
A bug fix in the format ArduPilot uses to store terrain data means
that your flight controller will need to re-download the terrain data
onto the sdcard via your GCS. If you fly without a GCS and you use
terrain data then please re-download the terrain data you need by
setting up a mission when you have internet access and allowing your
flight controller to request terrain data from your GCS.
Pressure Altitude Compensation
------------------------------
This release adds in the missing hook for the VTOL motor controller on
a quadplane to compensate the VTOL gains using your pressure
altitude. For most people this will not have a noticible effect, but
some users that have tuned their aircraft for high locations may
notice a tuning change.
Compass Ordering
----------------
The new compass ordering system in this release gives a lot more
flexibility and should preseve existing configurations and
calibrations. If you hit issues then please have a look at the new
compass ordering user interface in recent beta releases of
MissionPlanner.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to and tested this release!
Happy flying!
