Release 4.2.1beta1 19th May 2022
--------------------------------
This is a minor release on top of the 4.2 firmware. It has a number of
bug fixes and safety improvements. The changes are:
- fixed a bug in handling wrap in log download when 500 logs are on the microSD card
- added FlyingMoonF407 and FlyingMoonF427 support
- fixed RSSI input on the RCIN pin on CubeBlack and CubeOrange
- fixed update of gyro FFT throttle tracking
- removed unhealthy reporting on airspeed sensors with negative pressure as this commonly happens on VTOL takeoff
- improved handling of large LOITER_TURNS mission items, expanding maximum to 2.5km
- added fuel usage integration on Lutan EFI
- refuse arming in AUTO when in a landing sequence due to a failsafe
- account for sprung throttle (from RC_OPTIONS) in throttle suppression code
- improved safety of in-flight compass learning
- fixed automatic airspeed ratio calibration for 2nd airspeed sensor
- increase safety of GUIDED -> AUTO takeoff sequence used by QGC
- added CAN_Dx_UC_ESC_OF parameter for ESC offset for bandwidth efficiency
The most important fixes are related to how QGC (which is often used
on modern GCS style transmitters) does automatic takeoff with the
"swipe right for takeoff" system. QGC does a sequence of a change to
GUIDED mode, then arming, then change to AUTO mode. That sequence is
dangerous if the current waypoint is not properly reset to a VTOL
takeoff. To fix this a number of changes were made to ensure that
takeoff is done with a valid VTOL takeoff. The changes include
handling of failsafe events (such as GCS or RC failsafe) part way
through this takeoff sequence. If QRTL or RTL is engaged during this
sequence then the vehicle will switch to QLAND.
Happy flying!
