Interesting and encouraging. Hopefully the beta will be released publicly soon.
When you say "works well", do you mean that it updates the display without special cables, as well as doing the FLARM anti-collision and logging work?
I did find version 2.60 from Oct 2012. For some reason (maybe the formatting on the PowerFLARM.us site) I missed seeing it yesterday.

Yes. There is a beta version which works well, but I think it is not public. Not sure why.

2.60 adds (non igc approved) flight logging but not the display update pass through. I flew with 2.60 today. My only complaint about log file transfer is that it's blind since I use a USB extension and I can't see the little blinking light on my Core unit. Flarm guys **please** give us some way to monitor file xfer on the butterfly display.
Other comments... lots of adsb traffic visible on ClearNav today, most in the flight levels of course, but two contact down around 6k - 7k. Tens of miles range. Right now, CN displays these adsb targets as other *gliders*. I've put in a suggestion about that. Sadly, my mode c/s pcas range on powerflarm still stinks, it's one or two miles *at best*. Saw a bizjet rip by at less than 2 miles. Not a peep :-(.
