+- RF 2.1 *is* backward compatible with RF 2.0. You *can* load your configuration dump from RF 2.0 into 2.1.
+- If updating from RF1, please setup your helicopter from scratch. Follow the instructions on the website.
+- As always, please double check your configuration on the bench before flying!
+
+## Changes from 2.0.0
+
+- Added support for custom CRSF/ELRS telemetry
+- Added automatic profile switching to all *Profile* pages
+- Added a *Status* page which
+  - Shows the currently active PID and rate profile numbers
+  - Shows *Arming Disabled Flags*, if any
+  - Shows the amount of free space on a dataflash, if available. It also offers the option to erase the dataflash.
+  - Shows Real-time and CPU load
+- The *PIDs* and *Rates* pages
+  - Now also show the currently active profile
+  - You can change and copy the currently active profile
+- *Servo* page

+  - Added button *Override All Servos*
+- Added *Model on TX* page, with which you can automatically set model name, timers or global variables on your transmitter. Data is stored on the heli, so you can have different timers for your helis while using just one model on the transmitter.

+- Added page *ESC - FlyRotor*
+- Added page *ESC - HW Platinum V5*
+- Added page *ESC - Scorpion Tribunus*
