New Plane 3.9.1 stable release


The ArduPilot dev team are delighted to announce a new stable plane release. This is a minor release, but does include some important fixes.

Important changes from the 3.9.1beta releases include:

  • updated to default values for some tuning parameters

  • fixed a critical safety issue found by Oliver Volkmann, and fixed by Michael du Breuil. The problem could lead to quadplane motors starting on reboot

  • fixed a bug where RC failsafe could lead rudder input stuck at the last rudder input value in some modes. Thanks to Michael du Breuil for the fix

  • improved DShot and BLHeli-passthrough support, fixing errors reported by BLHeli32 ESCs and making using BLHeliSuite32 much more reliable

  • new tonealarm system, bringing the tones produced under ChibiOS and Linux HALs in line with tones produced under the HAL_PX4 HAL.

  • added a new LED driver for the NCP5623 LED

  • fixed delay caused by parameter writes in AP_Stats

  • fixed default RSSI input pin on some boards

  • fixed the incorrect display of “no io thread heartbeat” message

  • fixed microSD support on some boards due to running out of DMA capable memory

Many thanks to everyone who has been testing the beta releases.

Happy flying!
