1 Antenna Tracker Release Notes:
3 ------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Release 4.5.1 8th April 2024
6 This release fixes a critical bug in the CRSF R/C protocol parser that
7 can lead to a handfault and a vehicle crashing. A similar fix was
8 applied to the GHST protocol, although we believe that GHST could not
9 be affected by the bug, so this was just a precaution.
11 There are no other changes in this release.

110 ------------------------------------------------------------------
111 AntennaTracker 1.0.0 28-Jul-2016
112 Changes from 0.8.0
113 1) Compensate for tracker tilt by converting earth-frame angle targets to body-frame servo outputs
114 2) Tracker location provided by EKF (still falls back to raw GPS if EKF is unable to provide position estimate)
115 3) PITCH_MIN, PITCH_MAX parameters replace PITCH_RANGE
116 ------------------------------------------------------------------
117 AntennaTracker 0.8.0 22-Jun-2016

120 2) Estimate vehicle's altitude between telemetry updates when using ALT_SOURCE = GPS
121 3) Bug fix to vehicle position estimate (was using vehicle's heading instead of 3D velocity vector)
122 4) Added MAV_UPDATE_RATE parameter to allow more easily setting the rate the vehicle sends position data
123 ------------------------------------------------------------------
124 AntennaTracker 0.7.8 10-Jun-2016

132 2) ALT_SOURCE parameter added to allow selecting vehicle's GPS as an altitude source instead of vehicle's baro
133 3) VBAR dataflash log message added to capture vehicle barometer data
134 ------------------------------------------------------------------
135 AntennaTracker 0.7.6 08-Feb-2016

145 1) Request baro pressure from vehicle at 1hz
146 ------------------------------------------------------------------
147 AntennaTracker 0.7.2 1-Aug-2015

150 ------------------------------------------------------------------
151 AntennaTracker 0.7.1 29-May-2015
152 Changes from 0.7
153 1) Added support for continuous rotation (CR) servos
154 ------------------------------------------------------------------
155 AntennaTracker 0.7 17-May-2015
156 Changes from 0.5 (skipped 0.6 to avoid confusion after the wrong version number was communicated on diydrones.com)
157 1) added support for 4th MAVLink channel
158 ------------------------------------------------------------------
159 AntennaTracker 0.5 29-Apr-2015
160 Changes from 0.4
161 1) add SERVO_TEST mode which moves the servos to the position specified by a do-set-servo command (normally from MP's extended tuning page)
162 2) add DISTANCE_MIN parameter (default to 5m). Vehicles must be at least this distance away for the tracker to track them.
163 3) add SYSID_TARGET parameter to specify which vehicle to follow which is useful if multiple vehicles are sharing the same network. This param defaults to zero which means track the first vehicle. Set to "0" to track the first vehicle found.
164 4) send request to vehicle for position updates at 1hz. Improves reliability when used with copter which won't sent position data by default.
165 5) Listens for vehicle position updates on all channels
166 6) bug fix for LED on pixhawk so it flashes blue or green (instead of yellow) when waiting for he vehicle's position
