 # Revision History #
 
-## Version 1.5 -- Beta Test 3 -- July 2018 ##
 
-### New Features: ###
-
-- "**NOXID**" configuration file option to avoid sending XID command to listed station(s).  If other end is a partial v2.2 implementation, which recognizes SABME, but not XID, we would waste a lot of time resending XID many times before giving up.   This is less drastic than the "**V20**" option which doesn't even attempt to use v2.2 with listed station(s).
-
-### Bugs Fixed: ###
-
-- Issue 132 - Under certain conditions, outgoing connected mode data would get stuck in a queue and not be transmitted.  This could happen if client application sends a burst of data larger than the "window" size (MAXFRAME or EMAXFRAME option).
-
-### Notes: ###
-
-Windows binary distribution now uses gcc (MinGW) version 6.3.0.

 ### New Features: ###
 
 - PTT using GPIO pin of CM108/CM119 (e.g. DMK URI, RB-USB RIM), Linux only.
 
+- More efficient error recovery for AX.25 connected mode.  Better generation and processing of REJ and SREJ to reduce unnecessary duplicate "**I**" frames.

-- New configuration option, V20, for listing stations known to not understand AX.25 v2.2.  This will speed up connection by going right to SABM and not trying SABME first and failing.
