WTF!!! How do you know, its been online for just 5 minutes. Are you glue to google play or what?
OK, so here is the next version. Its just a small release so nothing to get excited about. I orignially promised to do this yesterday, but this Samsung S8/S9 bug took muuuch longer to fix: S8 / S9 crashing after exiting the app during cleanup. Nobody reported these but I could see the crash reports in the Play Console. Its impossible for me to test or debug this without getting information from affected people. Consequently I'm not 100% sure I got it fixed but I hope so.
Since this was the only "crash" type of defect that s reported by Google I hope we now have a fully stable version to build upon.
Fixed issues
------------
* App Crash on some devices, mostly Samsung S8 / S9
* Image / video gallery is not updated to include videos / photos
* Controller setting button mapping assignment picked wrong button
* RTH does not work after disconnect / reconnect
* Autopilots do not allow to change speedmode video <=> sport
* Flight log has distances wrong
New features
------------
* Notifications if APs are switched off
* PANIC button sets Attitude Angle to maximum (temporarily, restored after button is released)
* Boost button: Temporarily doubles the rate (up to 100% rate)
* Limit button: Temporarily cuts rate in half
* New button in Controller settings to clear controller definitions
* Notification if download photo failed / timed out
* Startup of video recording optimized, no more blurry sequence at recording start
* Flightlog contains last known distance and direction from takeoff point, direction 0 is where the drone faced when turned on
* Reminder for PDF manual on first startup
A note about BOOST / LIMIT buttons: These are not separate icons but only functions that you can map to a controller button. While pressed these temporarily double / cut in half the output rate of all stick input. So if you configure a pitch rate of 60% and are on full stick, BOOST will convert the resulting 60% pitch output into
120% (joking) 100% and LIMIT will make it 30%. Some users asked for a way to have different rates while staying in video mode / sport mode. I think this is not so much important for sport mode but for Video: You want to travel somewhere with a little speed but then want to go very slow to capture some interesting footage, all in one video recording without the issues of video aspect ratio changes when switching modes.
This function is currently not a prime citizen to keep it simple and not waste screen real estate on a rarely used function - but still accommodate users with special needs.
Flightlog now contains the direction and distance to the drone, relative to starting point. One BIG CAVEAT: direction is relative to the direction of the drone when it was switched on!
Tello does not have a compass so not much we can do about this (at least for now). So try to memorize this!
This function comes with condolences for johnagr's loss of his
Tello that he reported in the development thread.
