[note] This update only requires updating the drone. The controller does not need to be updated. Release notes were updated for clarity. [/note]
This update addresses critical bugs affecting flight reliability, hardware compatibility, and system stability for the Cayley release. Key improvements include fixes for in-flight failures, hardware integration, and enhanced error handling to ensure safer and more robust operations.
SECURITY
Hardware-Based Media Encryption Update (YubiKey)
The system now supports YubiKey 5 devices for hardware-based media encryption, including units running older firmware. This allows you to use newer YubiKey models without additional configuration.
YubiKey 4 devices continue to be supported without changes
FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Flight Safety and Reliability Updates — Adds several improvements aimed at reducing the likelihood of inflight disruptions and emergency landings.
Improved handling of transient planning issues — The drone no longer initiates an emergency landing due to brief invalid data during path planning. Instead, it continues operating and only lands if the issue persists.
Improved sensor redundancy for flight stability — The system can now switch between onboard motion sensors (IMU) during flight if an issue is detected, improving overall stability and resilience.
