… rather than timeouts

The slowdown calculations should apply only to the relative velocity,
not the absolute one. Thus the target baseline velocity should be added
afterwards.
Naturally the absolute velocity limits should be applied afterwards.
Plane: Fix description for TECS_BCK_PIT_LIM

Plane: Add diagnostics logging for VTOL upper pitch limit calc

Plane: Rework "Prevent overloading quadplane wing during VTOL braking"

Implement an independent speed scaler calculation. During VTOL modes the plane surface speed scaler does not follow a 1/IAS function at low airspeed.
the cygwin build is not generating binaries failing with:

   undefined reference to `AP_Param::load_param_defaults(char const volatile*, int, bool)

there is a 2nd problem that the CI test for cygwin doesn't fail when
the build fails. That will be addressed separately

@tridge,

I've compared the commits included with the PRs they come from and found a few missing commits. I suspect these are intentional but I'd like to be sure.

Also these PRs are included but aren't in the release notes. I think this is fine but just checking:

Not critical but it looks like you've left the Copter specific changes in the Plane release notes. No harm of course but FYI

Besides the above comments it looks fine to me. Thanks!

@rmackay9 thanks!
I've corrected some of the errors, some were deliberate

  • the processing protocol bytes bug was folded into the general CRSF fixes, as is CRSF naming
  • the accel cal simple fix is now included
  • the crc32 init is now included
  • the autotest text order bug is not in 4.5
  • the rangefinder MSG fix is not user visible
  • i've added the MR72 addition to the notes
  • cuberedsecondary fix now in notes
  • the removing iomcu dshot is not user visible (we were using more flash space than needed)
  • i've added speedybee change to notes
