Looks like Cleanflight release cycle is speeding up. Last stable version, 1.11.0, was published in the beginning of December 2015, next stable release, 1.12, can appear any day now. Its Release Candidate is available for testing for more than a week now.

So, what can we expect? First of all, bad news: no improved GPS navigation from iNavFlight yet. iNavFlight is not ready and looks like it's too big to fit all targets, specially F1 processors. So, we will have to wait a while for it. In the meantime, iNavFlight 1.0 RC4 is ready for testing. And it is very promissing. I've been able to do only a few test flights on it before winter, but results were very nice.

In Cleanflight 1.12.0 we can expect few quite important new features:

  1. Looptime sync to gyro readouts. This is something that Betaflight users knows very well. No more looptime as we know it. Control loop processes data as soon as it have it from gyros. Approximately every 1000us, since gyro updates with 1kHz frequency. But, that does not mean that we all will be using looptime of 1000. Not all hardware targets with features like GPS have enough computing performance to handle that. This is why CLI command gyro_sync_denom has been introduced. It tells CF every which gyro update control loop should be executed. Value of 1 results of looptime around 1000us, value of 2 give looptime of 2000us and so on. Important note: by default gyro sync is disabled and CLI set gyro_sync=ON command has to be executed to enable it.
  2. Improved task scheduler. Task scheduler in revious versions of Cleanflight was rather simple. This new implementation will allow for better processing of pheripherials like GPS. Users probably will not see much (if any) difference, but this is required for future features like better GPS navigation,

In addition to that: faster computations and better gyro filtering, bugfixes, documentation updates (to which I contributed too) and smaller improvements. See release notes for full list.
