20211027 Dev Meeting

Agenda

General:

Insufficient people to hold meeting. Cancelled.

common: add target for SERIAL_CONTROL #1725 - any last minute comments?
dev: add new message for component capability #1724 - component info by any other name would smell so sweet.
External dialects discussion continued - this is a problem with building pymavlink. The C library appears to build fine BUT that is lucky happenstance. The PR address both issues - makes building external dialects explicit (which while not accompanied by much testing is likely to be safer) and building pymavlink.
- How do we proceed?
Enum IDX bug fixed but not reviewed - nag.
common.xml: use top 16 bits of AUTOPILOT_VERSION.board_version for board-id #1727 - implications?
Better way to detect packet loss than sequence number (router issues)? Still good for detecting old messages.
