Tri: _min_throttle interpreted as 0~1000 range for throttle_lower flag
...
limit.throttle_lower flag becomes true when the throttle passed into the
motors lib (which is in the 0 ~ 1000 range) is below _min throttle.
This makes the interpretation of the THR_MIN parameter consistent
between the main code (which uses 0 ~ 1000 range) and the motors lib
(which previously used the RC3_MIN ~ RC3_MAX range).
The remaining problem however is that the output of the motors continues
to use THR_MIN as if it were a pwm. I don't believe this is a dangerous
problem however.

The uncertainty in acceleration is currently only scaled using horizontal accelerations, however during vertical plane aerobatics and high g pullups, misalignment in angles can cause significant horizontal acceleration error.

AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in reset of position, height and velocity states
...
If the inertial solution velocity or position needs to be reset to the GPS or baro, the stored state history for the corresponding states should also be reset.
Otherwise the next GPS or baro measurement will be compared to an invalid previous state and will be rejected. This is particularly a problem if IMU saturation or timeout has occurred because the previous states could be out by a large amount
The position state should be reset to a GPS position corrected for velocity and measurement latency. This will make a noticeable difference for high speed flight vehicles, eg 11m at 50m/s.

AP_NavEKF : Reduce sensitivity on filter divergence check
...
Flying aerobatics with Trad Heli has shown that the divergence check can be false triggered when large magnetometer errors and GPS dropouts are present.
This can also happen with multi rotors if large yaw rates are present.
This was an unintended consequence of the ekfsmoothing patch which improved filter stability during high rate manoeuvres, but made the divergence test more sensitive.

This patch reduces the level of 5Hz and 10Hz 'pulsing' heard in motors due to GPS and altimeter fusion which cause a small 5Hz and 10Hz ripple on the output under some conditions. Attitude, velocity and position state corrections from GPS, altimeter and magnetometer measurements are applied incrementally in the interval from receiving the measurement to the predicted time of receipt of the next measurement. Averaging of attitude state corrections is not performed during periods of rapid rotation.
