Known issues in v0.3.0

• Settings panel does not show an indicator of success when saving settings
• Remote drag-and-drop does not work when using USB tethering
• Button that opens the larger map is missing a font glyph, it's the little square in the upper left corner of the map
• SmartSync may or may not work on this ground station image due to experimental Atheros parameter settings
• Most ground station settings do not yet have additional details available in the info button
• Hardware video decode may cause additional latency on some platforms (Mac, possibly Linux inside a VM)
  • Can be disabled in settings
• Ground station partitions are currently read-write
  • /boot will become read-only in the next release
• Pull-to-refresh still use the activity indicator in the corner, it needs to be moved to the list area

Changes in v0.3.0

• Enable hardware accelerated video decoding/rendering (#1)
• Add setting to enable/disable QOpenHD on the ground station (#40)
  • This is a one-way setting at the moment, once you disable QOpenHD the old OSD will load on the next boot, which makes it impossible to enable QOpenHD again unless you edit the config file manually
• Add "pull-to-refresh" on ground settings pages (#39)
• Add flight timer, triggered when drone is armed
• Add support for remotely rebooting the ground station from Android
  • Disabled if drone is armed and while settings are being saved
• Don't close the settings panel when saving
• Show version of GStreamer and Qt used to build the app in the About panel in settings
• Add support for changing settings when connected by USB tethering
• Use a dropdown list for the WiFi Hotspot channel
• Hide ground station settings that can't be changed from QOpenHD
• Add tooltips to ground setting rows (#31)
• Add drone position map with larger detail panel (pilotnbr1)
• Fixed UseMCS setting
• Fixed Enable Hotspot setting
• Add setting to enable/disable throttle widget
• Fix local battery cell setting and others that use a number picker
• Fix Android permissions on newer versions of Android
  • Also fixes local settings persistence
  • Asks for permissions at launch if they aren't granted already
• Use the same row alignment for all local settings
• Add some right padding to text field settings
• Relax build requirement to Qt 5.12
  • Allows using Linux distro packages instead of manually installing Qt
• Display the version of Open.HD and the builder scripts that were used to build the image
• Show elapsed time between Mavlink and Open.HD telemetry heartbeats
  • Currently only updates when a new one arrives
  • Will soon be changed to always show the elapsed time since the last message, which makes signal loss or other problems easier to spot
• Fixed empty space in local settings tab order
• Drag-and-drop over the network
  • Open the QOpenHD app on Android and connect to the ground station hotspot, moving a widget on the phone moves it on the ground station.
  • This is intended for ground stations where the screen is not touch-capable, making it difficult to customize the widget layout
  • Enabling/disabling widgets will be supported soon as well
• Wait for UDP sockets to open when fetching/saving settings or issuing reboot commands
• Use UDP for Open.HD telemetry when running on ground station
  • Previously used shared memory area
  • Should ensure that telemetry display is the same on ground and Android
