-## Version 1.4  -- Development snapshot H --  March 2017 ##
+## Version 1.4  -- Beta Test-- April 2017 ##
 
 **This is beta test quality.  If no significant issues are reported this will be the version 1.4 release.**
 
-### New Features: ###
-
-- Take advantage of new 'gpio' group and new /sys/class/gpio ownership in Raspbian Jessie.
-
-- Handle more complicated gpio naming for CubieBoard, etc.
-
- 
-### Bugs Fixed: ###
-
-- IGate did not retain nul characters in the information part of a packet.  This should never happen with a valid APRS packet but there are a couple cases where it has.  If we encounter these malformed packets, pass them along as-is, rather than truncating.
-
-- Don't digipeat packets when the source is my call.

-## Version 1.4  -- Development snapshot G --  January 2017 ##
-
-**This is beta test quality.  If no significant issues are reported this will be the version 1.4 release.**
-
-
-### New Features: ###
+- AX.25 v2.2 connected mode.  See chapter 10 of User Guide for details.
 
 - New client side packet filter to select "messages" only to stations that have been heard nearby recently.  This is now the default if no IS to RF filter is specified.
 
+- New beacon type, IBEACON, for sending IGate statistics.
+
 - Expanded debug options so you can understand what is going on with packet filtering.
 
 - Added new document ***Successful-APRS-IGate-Operation.pdf*** with IGate background, configuration, and troubleshooting tips.
+- 2400 & 4800 bps PSK modems.  See ***2400-4800-PSK-for-APRS-Packet-Radio.pdf*** in the doc directory for discussion.
 
+- The top speed of 9600 bps has been increased to 38400.  You will need a sound card capable of 96k or 192k samples per second for the higher rates.  Radios must also have adequate bandwidth.  See ***Going-beyond-9600-baud.pdf*** in the doc directory for more details.

-## Version 1.4  -- Development snapshot F --  December 2016 ##
-
-This is a snapshot at some semi-stable point in the development of the next version.  It is not well tested.  New features might be incomplete, poorly documented, and subject to change.
-
-
-### Bugs Fixed: ###
-
-- -p command line option caused segmentation fault with glibc >= 2.24.
-
-
-
-
+- Better decoder performance for 9600 and higher especially for low audio sample rate to baud ratios.
 
-----------
+- Generate waypoint sentences for use by AvMap G5 / G6 or other mapping devices or applications.   Formats include
+ - $GPWPL	- NMEA generic with only location and name.
+ - $PGRMW	- Garmin, adds altitude, symbol, and comment to previously named waypoint.
+ - $PMGNWPL	- Magellan, more complete for stationary objects.
+ - $PKWDWPL	- Kenwood with APRS style symbol but missing comment.
 
-## Version 1.4  -- Development snapshot E --  December 2016 ##
+- DTMF tones can be sent by putting "DTMF" in the destination address,  similar to the way that Morse Code is sent.

+### Bugs Fixed (since 1.3): ###
 
 - The transmitter (PTT control) was being turned off too soon when sending Morse Code.
 
 - The -qd (quiet decode) command line option now suppresses errors about improperly formed Telemetry packets.
 
 - Longer tocall.txt files can now be handled.
