Welcome to RC5 - our LAST (or most likely will be our last) Release Candidate for 10.9.0

Remember that we now apply a custom default configuration based on the settings / options you have selected as part of the cloud build process. Please report any red errors that appear when applying the cloud provided custom defaults, so that we can work through any remaining issues. You can report when they occur here under issues or in the Discord channel #cloud-build-issues. Thank you.

If you want to apply your own custom defaults you can still do this using the Load Firmware [Local] button on the Firmware Flashing tab in Configurator and selecting a .config file you have stored locally. You can then proceed to build your firmware online (or load it locally also).

Please report back any issues at https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/issues. Thank you.

NOTE: You must use this version 10.9 (or better) configurator for firmware 4.4.0-zulu and the 4.4.0 release candidates.

Release Notes

This release contains all of the changes necessary to support version 4.4.0-zulu (the pre-release), and any 4.4.0 release candidates 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.
