@@ -26,6 +26,9 @@ change warranting a new major release:
 - Set GPS set entries to invalid on MODE_OFF command.
 - Bump FSFW for bugfix in `setNormalDatapoolEntriesInvalid` where the validity was not set to false
   properly
+- Fixed usage of uint instead of int for commanding MTQ. Also fixed the range in which the ACS Ctrl
+  commands the MTQ to match the actual commanding range.
+  PR: https://egit.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/eive/eive-obsw/pulls/363
 - Regression: Revert swap of SUS0 and SUS6. Those devices are on separate power lines. In a
   future fix, the calibration matrices of SUS0 and SUS6 will be swapped.
