1.80

This release adds new supported boards, new functionality, and improved CSMA performance.

Please note! Since various timing calculations have been altered in this release to achieve better performance, some SF/BW combinations will not work well if used with older versions of the firmware. It is recommended to update all RNodes you want to use together to version 1.80 for the best performance.

Thanks to @liamcottle who contributed to this release!
