• Support of new Transmitters
  • Frsky Horus
  • Frsky Q X7
• Much improved and overhauled Companion software
  • High DPI Display support
  • Qt5 instead of Qt4
  • Show custom names for switches/knobs/channels/etc throughout user interface.
  • Many performance and stability improvements.
  • Improved Simulator integration.
  • Fully re-worked "SD Sync" feature with options dialog, faster and reliable copying between any two folders.
  • Many thanks to Max for working on this
• Improved simulator
  • New startup options dialog for standalone Simulator to select radio profile, data file, SD path, etc. (also new command-line options).
  • New main user interface using docking sub-windows, improved radio simulator UI, and many improvements for other UI widgets.
  • Added/improved full support for FrSky X9E, X7, & X12S radios, including custom radio "skins" for each.
  • Improved debug output console, now with configurable filters.
  • New back-end interface to firmware code, fixes many possible performance/timing issues, reduced CPU consumption, and enhances UI responsiveness.
  • Custom hardware configurations loaded from the actual radio settings
• Imprvoved UI for 128x64 ARM based radios (X7 / Sky9X / 9X-PRO / AR9X)
  • model backups now have date and time stamps
  • virtual inputs
• LUA
  • Support for communication over Sport, examples: S6R/S8R script, Betaflight configuration script
  • Allow adding/setting telemetry sensors from lua scripts
  • Add support for generating/loading pre-complied Lua scripts (.luac) to improve memory consumption and loading times.
• Taranis
  • SWR is no longer a telemetry value and can be accessed as RAS under analogs
  • X9E: hardware FPU has been enabled
  • removed mixermon option (it is now always present)
• Significant improvement to FR translations, thanks to LapinFou
• FrSky RF protocol
  • Allow optional binding mode for X6R, X8R and XSR (firmware option, needs current XJT firmware on X9D+/X7D and receivers require beta firmware)
  • D16: Default to 16 channels output and display refresh rate
• Support of DIY Multiprotocol Module
  • Spektrum telemetry parser
  • FlySky AFHDS2A telemetry parser
• Miscanellous
  • Improved Mac OS X disk images

Not really sure how detailed to get... I tried to keep it down. All I can think of for now.

Also... I'd keep Custom hardware configurations loaded from the actual radio settings but maybe replace the other two (I tried to incorporate that info into mine).
