Anyone flying +with an SBF GPS should update to this release. The driver had a bug +that could cause a in-flight crash under some circumstances. + +Other changes in this release are: + + - support takeoff in GUIDED mode for quadplanes + + - support changing target altitude while hovering in GUIDED mode for + quadplanes + + - improved descent rate control in QRTL and QLAND modes. This fixes + an issue with higher than configured descent rates, and smoothes + out the change in descent rate for the change to the final landing + stage + + - smooth out the transition to QLOITER or QLAND when transitioning + from fixed wing mode. This prevents the sudden nose up when + changing to QLOITER or QLAND mode while flying at high speed. + + Release 3.8.1, 3rd September 2017 ---------------------------------
