Lots of small tweaks and performance improvements. Here's how testing AP went in the Park:
If you compile with Arduino, you can now set CH7 to trigger some cool things like RTL, or In-Flight leveling.
Check the GIT tree for details on the changes. Most are just nerdy code optimizations.
This release feels very close, if not the last beta. Thanks for all the testing,
Jason

Martin, datalogging and analysis is built into APM and the Mission Planner. It's all in the manual.

Export your log as a KML file and load in Google Earth
Thanks :-)
I have forgotten about Super, used it quite but a few years back.
Hi Chris,
Will try later tonight on a different computer.
Was using a very slow internet connection this morning, before work.
Flew the stock quad with stock code/PIDS, gusty conditions this afternoon.
Altitude hold worked a charm, loiter was bettter, I think.
How can I compress a GoPro video?

Gustav: I'm not seeing any issues here. Please try again and give details if you're still having trouble.
I had problems installing 2.0.45 firmware using Mission Planner 1.0.76.
Arduino worked fine, anyone else had the same problem ?
Will only be able to fly later today, grr.......
Just flew 2 flights 2.0.45. Stabilize, and alt hold on sonar excellent. The default NavP of 2.0 seems to be too low for my stock quad - and I think it is because how dirty it is with camera and video transmitter sticking up into the breeze. I set up channel 6 Navp tuning and put the quad up above the house and started at NavP 2.072. As it oscillated back and forth over the house I clicked up the NavP to around 2.4 (not sure actual value) and finished at 2.893 as verified by the tune function in the CLI after the flight. There was a fair amount of wind (5mph) and the LoiterI was 0.01 (default). Here is my log showing my progress and I think I'm honing in on the right value. 2.0.45 feels good and is flying well. Plotting Baro alt, next wpt alt, and Lat Err.
-1 alt hold means hold the current altitude.
No: After you load firmware you click on the setup button on that screen.
