When will there be the next stable release?

[wucke13]

2.0.27-rc1 is over a year old and only a release candidate 2.0.26 is close two 1 1/2 years old now

Essentially 2.0.27-rc1 is the latest stable release. Another compiled release would be nice. I'll leave that for others to comment on. If you want the 'latest' it will require you to build you own for now.

I actually don't care about a binary release. I maintain the the NixOS apmplanner 2 package, and would like to update it. However I don't feel lucky too just choose "random" state of master, therefore I would like upstream (this package) to release at least every 9 months or so (preferable more often).

Ok. Need to ask @Arne-W what he considers a stable version.

Hi all, current master is stable! I thought we should make a release too and did some testing to create an appimage package to be a little more distribution independent but have not finished yet. I did not test if everything works with the new released arducopter 4.0 version - that is still on my list.

I think that for a new stable version it should be considered the change in parameters from Copter 4.0. Something to implement here: https://github.com/ArduPilot/apm_planner/blob/master/src/ui/configuration/CopterPidConfig.cc#L171

liike this:

    if(version.majorNumber() == 3)
    {
        if(version.minorNumber() >= 6)
        {
            QLOG_DEBUG() << "Using parameter set for ArduCopter 3.6+";
            setupPID_APM_36();
        }
        else if(version.minorNumber() >= 4)
        {
            QLOG_DEBUG() << "Using parameter set for ArduCopter 3.4+";
            setupPID_APM_34();
        }
    }
    else if(version.majorNumber() == 4)
    {
    if(version.minorNumber() >= 0)
        {
            QLOG_DEBUG() << "Using parameter set for ArduCopter 4.0+";
            setupPID_APM_40();
        }
    }
    else
    {
        QLOG_DEBUG() << "Using default parameter set";
        setupPID_Default();
    }

and then a new function setupPID_APM_40() witch will be mainly similar to setupPID_APM_36() but with some difference, for now I see difference in ATCRAT*_FILT that split in three params ATCRAT*_FLTD, ATCRAT*_FLTE, ATCRAT*_FLTT and the same for PSC_ACCZ_FILT.

Sorry @Arne-W i didn't see your last comment when I write mine.

[wucke13]

Well that all sounds promising :smile:

[Arne-W]

takes longer than expected - but I am working on it....

[Arne-W]

okay - this is done now... but there is still #1171 which needs to be fixed before we can make a new release.....
