pixhawk posted a blog postQGroundControl v1.0.0 and MAVLink v1.0.0 Releases closing in
GroundControl and MAVLink have been improved substantially behind the scenes over the last months. The most obvious new feature on the user level are custom user widgets. You can configure yourself parameter sliders and buttons and even export this widget into a *.qgw file, which other users can import. The video shows how to create a custom attitude control widget for ArduPilotMega. Most of the other improvements are speed and stability improvements which are not directly visible, but improve…See More

git clone https://github.com/pixhawk/qgroundcontrol.git"
pixhawk replied to srinath mallikarjunan's discussion compiling pixhawk qgroundcontrol"Hi Richie,
You have the wrong GIT URL. The guide you've linked recommends this URL, which works:

Thank you all for your feedback, the wiki instructions were indeed a bit fuzzy. What went wrong was:
1) The git link was to the push-repository (its now the read-only repository)
2) The MAVLink version in the thirdParty directory…"
pixhawk replied to Tomtom Express's discussion Qgroundcontrol on Flash"It will only write to disc if you log data or if you download Google map tiles.

The design we pioneered in 2009 for machine vision with Gumstix Overo is now finally available as product from Gumstix.
