Current tag: v1.17.0-rc2 Target date: June 2026Flight Tracker: v1.17 Release Testing
Updates: Issues:
After investigation, we found that the issue is due to an already documented multi-ekf issue when there’s a rapid whipsaw between ekf instances, and this is not a regression specific to v1.17.0-pre-release. We are going to request feedback from the rest of the maintainers on how to move forward.

### Describe the bug
When flying in autonomous flight modes, the vehicle's alti… tude has various spikes that are not getting filtered out. This caused the fixed-wing drone to take a few nose dives and almost crash while flying.
I will note that the vibrations on the vehicle were fairly high as this was a very windy day.
In order to recreate:
1. Take off a fixed-wing UAV.
2. Fly it around.
3. Switch it into mission mode.
4. Watch altitude

### Describe the bug
Not letting me do auto-takeoff mode.
I uploaded a missio… n to fixed wing via Q-Ground Control. I then went into mission mode and tried to arm. It would not let me arm. I tried switching to position and stabilize flight mode, and it would not let me arm so I could go into auto takeoff mode.

## Problem
The weekly PX4 dev call topic on [[discuss.px4.io](https://discuss… .px4.io/c/weekly-dev-call/px4-dev-call/39)](https://discuss.px4.io/c/weekly-dev-call/px4-dev-call/39) is created manually each week.
## Solution
Add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs every Monday at 10:00 UTC.
What it does:
1. Queries the GitHub API for PRs merged, PRs awaiting review, new bugs, and other issues from the past 7 days
2. Builds a standardized Discourse post with Wednesday's call date, a weekly activity summary, and a clean note-taking template
3. Posts to the PX4 Autopilot category (id 39) on discuss.px4.io via the Discourse API
4. Optionally sends a Discord notification with the topic link and weekly stats
## Setup Required
N/A
## Maintenance
When a new release cycle starts, update the release links in the post template (current tag, flight tracker issue).
