Ground start has reverted for now to 2.7 version. I was having a lot of trouble with the prior version. I have added a ground start delay option for those who want to have some time between power on and IMU calibration. Time is in milliseconds.
GROUND_START_DELAY 3000 // 3 seconds
I rewrote the command parser from scratch, again... It was really causing trouble. All the commands should work now. let me know if there are any issues. Commands now happen only while in Auto mode.
The new take off command is implemented from 2.7, throttle is manual.
New landing commands are implemented and are much improved for usability. Set the landing waypoint as your target to land. The landing options are based on distance from your landing waypoint.
Please enter any issues into the Google Code issues list: http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/issues/list
The debug modes may be new to you as well. Please use them first to verify your hardware is setup.

svn checkout http://ardupilot-mega.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ardupilot-mega-read-only
others work fine, arducopter and ardupilot read-onlys
Test flew this today, had some real compile problems, when set to Legacy, but managed to fudge around that for a temp...
IMHO not convinced about take off throttle in manual, need to be able ot make the choice, in my personal view...
If you are interested, please check out the internal APM tester group email i sent with far more detail in.
had quite a funny end..
Great work chaps.
Mike..
Just one question, I can not seem to find an official source with svn repository for the APM libraries code, is there one ?
Edit : seems that this is the official one http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/source/browse/#svn/trunk/libraries ?
