Switch to LAND flight mode if throttle failsafe triggers and we do not have a GPS.
THR_FAILSAFE renamed to FS_THR_ENABLE.
THR_FS_VALUE renamed to FS_THR_VALUE.
THR_FS_ACTION removed (action is now controlled by setting FS_THR parameter).
Added set_yaw_mode to better control of yaw controller changes and variable initialisation.
Replaced AUTO_YAW mode with separate yaw controllers YAW_LOOK_AT_NEXT_WP, YAW_LOOK_AT_LOCATION, YAW_LOOK_AT_HEADING.
Pilot manual override of yaw causes yaw to change to YAW_HOLD (i.e. manual yaw) until next waypoint is reached.
Added get_yaw_slew function to control how quickly autopilot turns copter
Changed YAW_LOOK_AHEAD to use GPS heading and moved to new get_look_ahead_yaw function in Attitude.pde
Renamed variables: target_bearing->wp_bearing, original_target_bearing->original_wp_bearing.
Removed auto_yaw_tracking and auto_yaw variables and update_auto_yaw function as they are no longer needed.
Simplified MAV_CMD_CONDITION_YAW handling (do_yaw). We lose ability to control direction of turn and ability to do long panorama shots but it now works between waypoints and save 20bytes.
Consolidated RTL state to be captured by rtl_state variable.
Combined update_RTL_Nav and verify_RTL functions which performed the same function but one was for missions, the other for the RTL flight mode.
Renamed some RTL parameters and global variables to have RTL at the front.
Landing detector now checks accel-throttle's I term and/or a very low throttle value
removed unused waypoint_radius var
removed slow_wp
updated speed management system to maintain a constant acceleration or deceleration of 1m/s
changed version to 2.8.1a
Fixes compatibility for APM2. Also a significant update to the battery monitoring code: We previously had monitoring modes for individual cell voltages for 3 and 4 cell lipos. These have been removed as they were never really supported (the cell voltages were computed but were not reported or recorded anywhere). Also, some clean-up/prep work was done for supporting monitoring 2 separate battery packs. The CLI battery and current monitoring tests were consolidated into 1 test.
changed
Other unrelated changes are:
a) fixed typo in 'esitmate_velocity' to 'estimate_velocity'.
b) moved init_compass from system.pde to sensors.pde which seemed consistent with other sensors.
