Ok.... here's the scoop on updating firmware through xmap. You need to have certain files/folders in the right place. Go to your XEDE folder and look for a folder called "monitor". It should have four files in it. Then look for a file called xflash.dll. Make sure both the monitor folder and the xflash.dll are in the same folder along with the version of xmap you are running (in this case, the new v3.2.016). If this is the case, you should have no problem updating firmware through Xmap. Give it a try....

Apparently gmail blocks these attachments... can one of you please send the _16 file to superhatchsd@yahoo.com ? thanks guys...

Not a beta tester, but....
Installed the new firmware / timing pattern tonight in conjunction with conditional fuel threshold and lean run protect. Zero issues. Works great!
Note: I wasn't able to get the new Xmap to flash the firmware, but it is likely that my Xmap directory structure isn't what it is expecting.
Edit: I should add that cold starts are clean with the timing pattern file w/ RPM / delay configuration.

I have an issue with the timing pattern file's RPM / delay change over settings. Basically on a cold start the default values work to switch the Xede over once the engine runs on its own (e.g. idle is high given cold engine temperature).
On the other hand on a hot restart the idle is at ~900 RPM. Thus the change at 1500 RPM doesn't occur until one pulls away. The net result is that the engine, while trying to make power, stumbles at the change over point.
Suggestions?

On warm restarts I blip the throttle to 1500. It's enough to switch the Xede status.
On the seldom occasion that I forget to blip the throttle though, I still get no issues on takeoff...
weird.

I set the timing file configuration to 1000 RPM and 0.3 seconds. On start (cold or hot) the engine appears to rev to 1400 RPM. Thus it appears that 1500 RPM was just a little too high.
In testing today 1000/0.3 seems to have resolved the problem.
I have always launched with little throttle in day-to-day driving. Thus if the engine stumbles the effect is rather dramatic. This might be the difference if one normally gives the car more throttle on launch.

Glad to hear all is good. We should a fully installable version of the next XMAP towards the end of the week. Along with revised, easy-to-follow istructions on how to update firmware, set up conditions, etc,. So non-beta guys can upgrade without any fuss or muss.
