Altus Metrum announces AltOS 1.9.6
Announcing AltOS 1.9.6
This is a bug-fix release. Anyone using EasyTimer should upgrade the
firmware to 1.9.6 or later immediately!
Firmware Changes:
* Fix EasyTimer bug where it might mis-detect boost (either
detect it early or not at all) due to small errors in
accelerometer calibration leading to large accumulated error
in speed.
* Adjust self-test of new 9-axis IMU (BMX-160) so that it
doesn't think the part has a failure when tested sitting
horizontally.

I have ALTOS Android version 1.9.2 installed which is what's shown in the Google Play store. Is there a newer version available.
Thanks,
Gary WA7GL

Announcing AltOS 1.9.5
Firmware Changes:
* Add Booster mode for all dual-deploy altimeters. Select
"Separation & Apogee" mode in AltosUI to fire the 'main' channel
at first motor burnout and the 'apogee' channel at apogee.
* Improve reliability of stm32l firmware under heavy load. This was
found using Monitor Idle on TeleMega with all flash slots full of
data which would occasionally lock up.
* Fix orientation label in AltosUI for devices with radios. This
makes the orientation say 'Antenna up' and 'Antenna Down' for
TeleMetrum and TeleMega again.
* Fix log data for pyro channels which were inhibited (often because
of a tilt limit). They used to report 'fired' as soon as they were
inhibited, which was misleading. Now they never report as having
been fired.
* Allow Igniter Test to fire each igniter more than once.
AltosUI Changes:
* Improve performance of Monitor Idle mode by sending less data for
each update.
* Improve Mac OS X install scripts so that they work on
Catalina. This involves sending the user to get Java from the
AdoptOpenJDK project which provides a version that works with Java
applications.
* Make larger dialogs scrollable for use on smaller screens.
* Fix troubles re-flashing EasyMega boards running older firmware.
* Add TeleMetrum v3.0 firmware to the Windows AltosUI packages.
