why not ask the author of the extension then - if it is important to you to have the answer. After all, the author is the person who should have the answer. As to whether the author has tested against the beta version depends very much upon the time available to the author of the extension I suspect. I know the bootstrap skin and mesowx took some iterations after the introduction of I think weewx v3 before there were useable versions available - and the changes were actually made by another weewx user rather than the original author.
