Announcement: Parrot Drones SDK 7.7 pre-release

We are pleased to announce a pre-release of version 7.7 of the Parrot Drones SDK, containing the following items:

Important
Please note that downgrading firmware versions is not supported on ANAFI Ai and SkyController4. Once you update to version 7.7.0-rc1 you can only update later to the final 7.7 or more recent versions. If you are unsure about this, we suggest using the Sphinx simulator for developments with the SDK pre-release.

The full official 7.7 version of the SDK is to be released end of June 2023 along with the ANAFI Ai, SkyController4 and FreeFlight7 7.7 versions.
