Release 3.9.7, 1st April 2019
-----------------------------
This is a minor release to fix a single important bug in speed/height
handling. The bug was in the TECS (total energy control system) and
could cause a sustained pitch down due to a transient glitch in
airspeed demand resulting in a large negative pitch integrator.
The log that found the bug was of a quadplane in CRUISE mode, and
resulted in the aircraft forcing nose down for long enough to crash.
The fix includes both protections for the pitch integrator and a fix
for the cause of the transient in airspeed demand affecting the TECS
demanded airspeed.
Happy flying!
Release 3.9.6, 4th March 2019
