Beta 1.3 RC1

First release candidate for Beta 1.3. Most of this comes straight from forum and GitHub requests after Beta 1.2.

New

• Voice alert levels. The speaker button in the header is now a menu: All, Important (critical alerts and arming only) or Off. Settings has separate volumes for disarmed and armed. (#165)
• Polygon from waypoints. Select waypoints in the waypoint table (or none for all) and press Polygon to turn them into a survey area. (#164)
• Fly to a specific waypoint. Click "WP n/N" in the Mission instrument, click a waypoint pin on the map, or use the arrow in the waypoint table. A picker lets you step through large surveys, jump to first, current or last, and highlights the target on the map.
• Telemetry log recording. ArduDeck can record a .tlog of every connection. Turn it on in Settings, where there is also a button to open the folder.
• Second GPS is shown in the GPS instrument when the vehicle reports one.
• Battery gauge colours follow your parameters. The green, amber and red bands now come from BATT_LOW_MAH / BATT_CRT_MAH and the voltage thresholds instead of fixed percentages, for every battery monitor.
• Terrain diagnostics. Settings shows whether the vehicle is asking for terrain data and whether ArduDeck can answer, so a stuck terrain download (common in SITL) can be traced.
• Fill with Vision. In the map split menu you can let the second panel (Vision, for example) fill the whole map area with your instruments on top, like the single pane mode on mobile.
• Glider in SITL. New Glider frame under Plane. It hangs under a balloon: choose the release height, then use Lift and Release on the Sticks instrument or the Joystick panel.

Fixed

• Calibration warning on connect that claimed a calibration was lost when it was not. Parameters are now re-read in small batches with retries before anything is flagged. (#159)
• Dragging a hazard zone in the area editor lagged one to three seconds behind the mouse.
• A mission crossing a hazard zone could still be uploaded after the warning had been overridden once. The override now applies to a single upload only.
• Uploading a waypoint group now shows the same hazard conflict card as the main upload button, and the card is no longer clipped by the height profile panel.
• Survey meshes that carry their own heights (for example a photogrammetry surface) are no longer lifted above the ground in Synthetic Vision.
• The top bar is fully opaque, so content no longer shows through it.
