Peter (sandmen) and I would like to invite everyone to try out the latest version of QGC and let us know how it runs on your machines. We have merged code with the latest from the official QGC repository, which is now at version 1.0.2 (beta). This seems to be running well with our setups and test environments, but some more testing diversity would be very useful before we continue with this code base.
I've also built a Mac OS X version that needs to be tested. I can verify that it runs on my Snow Leopard VM, but that's about it. EDIT: I added a Linux build from my Fedora 14 VM, if anyone wants to try that out. We can also send you the code to compile yourself.
Of particular interest with the updated QGC is that saving and restoring parameters to/from files on the computer seems to work now.
Thanks in advance for your participation!

Release notes:
v1.1.0 alpha 1 – January 5, 2013
This release is based on the latest official QGC version 1.0.2 beta (https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol). This is primarily a “stability test” release to make sure the changes do not negatively affect functionality.
~ A number of visual updates have been made to improve the look/feel of the application. Should now also look better with light-background color schemes (such as “outdoor” and native styles).
+ Added AQ log export functionality, accessible from the log viewer tab. This is a GUI for the logDump command-line utility (which is included). Exports to flat text, GPX, and KML formats, with many options (documentation of the various options is embedded in the UI).
+ Added AQ Telemetry view (for use with future AQ6.6 firmware functionality).
~ AQ-specific settings are now saved in QGC shared storage instead of the Aq.ini file. If an Aq.ini file is found, settings are migrated to the new location. This will make it easier to preserve settings between installs.
+ First OS X release — experimental! Does NOT include cal.exe and sim3.exe parameter calculation utilities (calculations need to be done on Win/Linux for now).
