This release introduces new features and new hardware support like Sparky2 board and improved external mag support.
New hardware support:
Sparky2 board, Auxiliary Magnetometer: I2C and Naza GPS, Revo FlexiIO port usage e.g. PPM+GPS
New input modes:
Jeti Ex.Bus, Graupner Hott, FlySky IBus, PPM up to 16 channels, Revo/Sparky2 as OpenLRS receiver.
New telemetry protocols:
MSP, MAVLink. OSD devices that use those protocols may now be connected directly (e.g.: minimosd with MWOSD).
New Flight oriented features:
AlwaysStabilizeWhenArmed (Airmode) using switch, Measurement based D term gives smoother flight
SuperExpo (you may need half expo value compared to rel15.09), Camera tilt compensation,
Autotune module (except CC3D).
GCS improvements:
PFD with terrain / OsgEarth improvements
Failsafe settings using GUI
Vehicle and Transmitter wizard improvements
Known issues:
* [LP-289] - pidcontrol ne and down have nan dz if kp is zero

--- RELEASE-15.05.01 HOTFIX --- Banana Split ---
This release fixes an important bug. All Revolution hardware running 15.05 should upgrade to 15.05.01. Note that this is a hotfix; it can
simply be flashed without an erase settings. Furthermore, please review your vtolpathfollowersettings:HorizontalVelMax; a value of around 4m/s would be more appropriate for preliminary trialing of a new release and will be changed in future.
Release Notes - OP Next Generation - Version OP15.05.01
** Bug
* [NG-55] - 15.05 PositionHold exhibits fly-away behaviour at the vtolpathfollowersettings maxRollPitch and HorizontalVelMax values.
--- RELEASE-15.05 --- Banana Split ---
This release introduces new features and new hardware support for the Revolution Nano.
Note that the CC3D is not supported by this feature release.
New features for multirotors include:
- Fully autonomous flight is now possible with auto-takeoff and landing as flight modes available to path plans.
- An all new implementation of altitude vario provides improved altitude maintenance and smoother flight.
- A new RateTrainer flight mode for beginners and aerial photographers makes it easier to use this mode by limiting the pitch and roll extents.
- A new GPS assisted VelocityRoam flight mode replacing the PositionRoam flight mode. This uses AltVario and a velocity controller for smooth GPS guided flight.
- 4CH transmitters for multirotor (and 2CH for ground) is now supported if a single flight mode count is set.
- It is now easier to takeoff with an improved axis-lock on yaw implementation.
- Full speed flight just got faster with new motor constraints that maintain your ability to enact roll without requiring an upper throttle limit of 90%.
- Setup of GPS is now automatic with auto-baud detection.
- Support for dual telemetry and minim OSD programing have been added.

** Bug
* [OP-1812] - CC3D : PWM: Does not go into failsafe when RX is pulled under 50% throttle
--- RELEASE-15.02 --- Ragin' Cajun ---
This release introduces major flight performance improvements, enhancements as well as bug fixes. Many enhancements have been made to reducing dead-time of the communication between the flight controller and ESCs. In our testing, we have found this to be not only the best flight performance so far in the OpenPilot project but the best flight performance of any project we have tested against. This is a recommended upgrade for everyone and the more skilled of a pilot you are, the more you will love this release.
A key improvement that helped achieve this was the addition of the PWMSync code path, this is now enabled by default. Some restrictions applies to CC3D/CC as it needs a compatible input method to enable PWMSync. Compatible input methods are PPM, S.Bus, DSM and OPLink. This release also introduces support for OneShot125 capable ESCs, such as the KISS ESCs and all ESCs supported in BLHeli V13 and above. Note that OneShot125 support has the same restrictions as PWMSync for CC and CC3D.
Note for CC3D/CC: To support PWMSync/OneShot125 PPM input pin has changed from earlier releases to the last pin on the input IO port, please refer to the connection diagram in the setup wizard to see the required new pin layout for PPM.
Other enhancements include key parts of the GCS translated to Chinese and further OPLink reliability additions allowing us to confidently say it can be used as a primary control link as well as for telemetry.

--- RELEASE-15.01 --- Look Ma, No hands ---
This release mainly focuses on a new feature, GPSAssist which is a new form of assisted control for multirotors.
Assisted Control provides assistance functions on top of existing flight modes. GPSAssist is the
first assisted control option available from OpenPilot. GPSAssist supports Attitude and Rattitude
flight modes and activates braking into position hold when the pitch/roll sticks are centered. Attitude/Rattitude
may be flown with any of the current thrust modes (manual, cruisecontrol, altvario). GPSAssist for the PositionHold
flight mode also introduces a braking sequence when first entering this flight mode and introduces altvario as the thrust mode.
