Release 3.8.0, 5th August 2017 |
|
|
|
|
------------------------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ArduPilot development team is very proud to announce the release |
|
|
|
|
of APM:Plane 3.8.0. This is a major release, with a lot of new |
|
|
|
|
features and improvements. The release has been a long time coming, |
|
|
|
|
and the dev team would like to thank everyone who has contributed, |
|
|
|
|
in terms of code and documentation as well as the many testers of beta |
|
|
|
|
versions of the code. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To help with migration from the 3.7.1 release to 3.8.0 there is a |
|
|
|
|
migration guide here: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
http://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/plane-3-7-to-3-8-migration.html |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All users should read the migration guide carefully. While the |
|
|
|
|
firmware will try to auto-migrate most settings, please do very |
|
|
|
|
careful ground tests before your first flight with 3.8. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In total there have been over 4 thousand changes in the ArduPilot git |
|
|
|
|
tree since the 3.7.1 release, with over four hundred of those specific |
|
|
|
|
to fixed wing aircraft. Listing all of them in these release notes is |
|
|
|
