I have got this version (7.01) since July 30th !!! :p
What is way more interesting is that Microchip is slowly fixing the problems with MAL on Linux (mostly case incompatibility and slash vs backslash) so the beta of the MAL for Linux (and osX) is also available.

MPLABX beta7 seems to work better then beta6. I had a strange problem with not finding the pickit3 with certain chips selected, seems to work now.
b7 works worse for me then b5 (I was not using b6), for some reason it gets “confused” while programming pic (32mx with pk3) from time to time and only solution is killall -9 java and restarting the mplabx .. weird ..
with pk2 it works like a charm every time but .. pk2 ain’t really helpful with 32mx
btw – did anyone managed to “add a command” to mplabx – for e.g. I want to add a button that will call external program (want to upload compiled hex to pic via hid bootloader and not via pickit for example )
