Thanks LP team for this RC and all your hard work.
Have upgraded two (250) quads to 16.09RC one a cc3d and the other a revo. very easy.
Using the same PID's from 15.09 both quads seem to be more responsive and stable, am very happy.
Just waiting for DJI gps to be delivered to try out new features. Can't wait.
So thanks again

I upgraded to RC1 today on my Dell XPS13 laptop, which has a 1080p screen and encountered a minor issue.

Windows 10's recommended default font scaling for this machine is 150% - anything lower is pretty difficult to read.  This isn't an issue for other apps including GCS 15.09.  However apparently 16.09 scales it's UI up quite a bit at 150% font scaling.  Perhaps this is a side-effect of the new version of Qt?  This is great except that in this context the minimum vertical size of the Vehicle Setup Wizard dialog forces it to extend beyond the bottom of the screen.  This causes a problem where the Next / Cancel buttons are off-screen and not clickable.

The workaround is easy - temporarily reduce font scaling to 125%.  But addressing the issue should be pretty simple as well.  Probably just setting the minimum height of the dialog to a smaller value would work, allowing the dialog height to fit < 1080p@150% and triggering Qt to add a vertical scroll-bar to the contained wizard window.

See attached.

Thank you for your hard work! I installed the RC1 today, and I was very happy to see the possibility to connect the GPS to the receiver port. Is there any documentation on how to connect the GPS to that port? Thank you in advance!

Maybe here:

There is also a connection diagram you can save in summary page while using the Vehicle wizard.

Is there a tutorial that explains step by step the autotune configuration? I saw the autotune page but seems very difficult. Or does the new release make it easier?

The top of the AutoTune wiki has had a new section added that describes the simplest use of AutoTune.

ok thank you. I thought there is a Gui Button like dRonin.

dRonin / TauLabs requires use of GCS to complete the autotune procedure.  LibrePilot can do this all without GCS.  Read up at the wiki.

Ran Autotune on a new build yesterday and it worked like a charm, I like being able to do it in the field.  Thanks for all of the hard work on this!

Yes, the LED output port works, you should pick the signal just before the mosfets for normal PWM output use.

Hello. Today I have checked different settings. But the failsafe settings do not function properly. If you place "Throttle" in the negative area, e.g. -35% and then you loses the input signal, the throttle cut to zero. Positive settings function as intended. Is this a known issue?

Throttle value bellow 0 (negative) mean Throttle cut.

-1 value also allow disarm the board after the timeout value.

So I have to set +0,30 for 30% thrust, right? Thanks!
