We hope this is the very last beta before the official release of v6.0a. All beta versions are performing a bit slower than the non-beta, because they have internally a lot of diagnostics.

Things that have changed since last beta are:
Airspace outline only in multimaps sideview
Fix problem with CAI GPS-NAV device driver
Add GPSbip device drive
Add XCTracer driver
Workaround for old firmware in device driver LX16xx not sending vario
At this point, no thermal assistant, no vario stats, nothing.
Invert bottombar aAlt with FL if not using metrics as altitude units
Fix RESET profiles not loading anymore DEMO task
FIX RESET profiles not resetting default fonts
If GPS Altitude Offset is changed in configuration, GPS altitude will not be logged (logged as 0 always).
Kobo: many fixes in install procedure
Kobo: fix problem with USB serial changing name after device is reconnected
Other minor fixes
