Welcome to 10.9.0

Thank you to all our contributors who make it happen!

For a full write up on this release please checkout the release notes here: http://betaflight.com/docs/release/Betaflight-4.4-Release-Notes

This configurator version introduces the cloud build system. This is the new way for our flyers to quickly and easily build the firmware they want; with the features they want. With the ever-increasing feature set of the Betaflight firmware the boards with microcontrollers that only had 512kb of flash were overflowing constantly, and certain features were needing to be removed. This meant our flyers needed to know how to make their own custom firmware so they could re-enable those features (dropping others to make space). The cloud build system simplifies this process, and does it for you, after you select a few options :).

This configurator will now apply a custom default configuration based on the settings / options you have selected as part of the cloud build process. Please report any red errors that appear when applying the cloud provided custom defaults, so that we can work through any remaining issues. You can report when they occur here under issues or in the Discord channel #cloud-build-issues. Thank you.

If you want to apply your own custom defaults you can still do this using the Load Firmware [Local] button on the Firmware Flashing tab in Configurator and selecting a .config file you have stored locally. You can then proceed to build your firmware online (or load it locally also).

Please report back any issues at https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/issues. Thank you.

NOTE: You must use this version 10.9 (or better) configurator for firmware 4.4.0.

Betaflight also has a presence on the Discord messaging platform. Come and join us. Most developers hang out there, so this is a great place to talk about the things you are tinkering with in Betaflight, or get help with really complicated configuration problems.

Important information when upgrading

Changes to the security model used in the latest versions of MacOS X 10.14 (Mojave) and 10.15 (Catalina) mean that the operating system will show an error message ('"Betaflight Configurator.app" is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.') when trying to install the application. To work around this, run the following command in a terminal after installing: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Betaflight\ Configurator.app.
