New Features/Changes in this software
1. Added a 3D Viewer that displays an animation showing the orientation of the rocket during the entire flight based on gyro data.
2. Added the barometer altitude readings and all gyro data into the Excel spreadsheet csv file that is generated for each flight. Also added flight card information and other data into the header rows of the Excel spreadsheet.
3. The Flight Data Analyzer is no longer fully compatible with the Windows XP operating system. The new 3D Viewer will definitely not work on XP. The rest of the program is known to still work on Windows XP provided service pack 3 is installed.

New Features/Changes in this firmware
This is the second release for Kate 2.0 (Mx150) and the optional Pyro Board (Mx152)
1. Added support for the Mx152 Pyro Board Rev-B which includes a new safety shunt relay and the ability to be powered-up and powered-down by remote command.
2. All separation and staging parameters can now be set by the user.
3. The built-in flight simulator will now simulate a 1, 2 or 3 stage flight depending on the value set for "STAGES" on the FLIGHT INFO page. The flight profile is slightly randomized so that no two sim’s are exactly the same. However, it does use the sustainer ignition delay time specified for the pyro board if one is present. That way the sim and the pyro board will do the same thing. This is useful for doing test runs with the pyro board.
4. Added ability to disable use of the accelerometer as a back-up to GPS deployment at apogee. This is not recommended unless the user has some specific concerns about flights going over 150,000 feet.
5. Added a timer that can be set to fire the apogee charges at a fixed time after liftoff. This is optional and will default to being disabled. It is not recommended for use unless the flight will exceed 100,000 feet.
6. No support yet for AUX or SSR (solid state relay) outputs on the Mx152 pyro board.
