v1.16.0

[rafaellehmkuhl]

What's Changed

This is our biggest stable release so far. Our goal was to improve stability and performance as much as we could, but that didn't stop us from adding some cool new features as well.

This version was tested extensively by our development team as well as by Blue Robotics' internal test team.

Our beta releases are tested on the PR level, while for the stable releases we test the entire application with a pre-defined set of cases and procedures. That means you can always count on the stable releases to provide a robust experience, while still being able to try out new features and improvements in the betas.

This was the first stable release to use the new testing procedures, and it took a little more than what we were aiming initially. You can expect the next ones to be released at least in a monthly basis, while the betas will keep being released as needed, usually once or twice a week.

We trully believe that this is the best version of Cockpit so far and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Happy piloting :)
