@@ -84,6 +84,8 @@ will consitute of a breaking change warranting a new major release:
 - When a PUS parsing error occured while parsing a TM store file, the dump completion procedure
   was always executed.
 - Some smaller logic fixes in the TM store base class
+- Fixed usage of C `abs` instead of C++ `std::abs`, which results in MTQ commands not being
+  scaled correctly between 1Am² and 0.2Am².
