Ardupilot 2.7 Beta 3 out

This version includes some great bug fixes - thank you beta testers. I've included a new feature for managing altitude changes. Expect to see smooth lines between waypoints instead of the full throttle approach right after hitting a waypoint. This was always a killer for EZ stars who tend to spiral when turning at full throttle.

I've also included some new code for low ground speed in high winds. The code bumps up your throttle output to overcome wind as your groundspeed drops below your defined AIRSPEED_CRUISE value.

It's all pretty well tested in the sim, but if you run into an issue, let me know.

If you want to get X-Plane running, Michael has a great windows app to connect 2.7 as a HIL sim.
