Default PowerFLARM igc file progress?

As the northern season draws to a close, the end of Q3 as well. In
July, "FLARM" posted:

Core collision avoidance functionality had priority over the flight
recording.
Now that the users are happy with the first, we can move on to the
'fringe benefits' of PowerFLARM.

ETA for IGC format recording is Q3/2012, that version will then be
submitted to IGC for approval which we hope to receive before the
start of the Northern Hemisphere season 2013.
Updates (for North American customers) will be free and possible
through USB stick / SD card or via IGC type serial cable.

As it's about a month before my glider is put into winter storage, I'd
like to be able to get an igc file to run through the range assessment
software, to see if I have to work on my installation. I'd prefer not
to wait until spring... since you have to fly with other gliders in
order to see if your installation works. I'd prefer to know my
installation is either good or bad, sooner rather than later - I can
play with the installation before storage if it is poor. I can dance
the "anti-collision dance of joy" if I can change my temp installation
into a permanent one.

I understand that the IGC blessing of the files will take time - this
is just for the RF Range Analysis aspects.

A long preamble for a short question - can we expect our PF's (mine is
a Brick/core) to be able to produce IGC files in the next month?

We certainly shouldn't need to wait for IGC approval to be able to download IGC files. Not only for range analysis, but for personal analysis, OLC etc. Only a small fraction of flights are record/badge/contest flights which require IGC approval.
