Release Notes

This release contains all of the changes necessary to support version 4.4.0-zulu (the pre-release) of the Betaflight firmware. If you are wanting to give firmware 4.4 a go, it is essential that you upgrade to this version, in order to get support for configuring the new features of 4.4. Please read the 'Important information when upgrading' section below. For a list of other new features that were added see 'New Features' below.

If you want to talk about Betaflight, ask configuration questions, or just hang out with fellow pilots, you can do this in our Facebook group.

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.
