Mini update, but several important and cool features.

The Boeing Banana (from the R9 software) is finally re-enabled. Works with the next controlling (auto or manual) altitude constraint in your flight plan, and shows you where you will cross your target altitude. Once you pass one controlling restraint, it cycles to your next.

Fixed the attitude failure indication on bootup, with the G500, with their latest firmware.

Extended the waypoint count on the Mapmx Garmin protocol, important for the G500 and G5.

Incidentally, the G5 is completely supported even prior to this release, but for now you will need a field approval, until the STC'd maintenance manual is updated.

Improved support for the GTX345.

FreeFlight Ranger support

VFR waypoints (Euro feature)

And a fair number of minor interface tweaks and fixes.

The Banana is the big one for me, and one that I have been harping on for years. It was originally enabled in the pre-release firmware, but pulled.
