Retranslator mode. This is an aerial search mode using a second beacon (of any model).
The beacon as a "buzzer" for the flight controller.
Support for CTCSS subtones for transmission and as an activation tone.
Tone signal for the Proximity mode (in a response, the beacon reports the signal level by a sound pitch).
Reworked the GPS track storage in EEPROM.

Small bugfixes.

This firmware version is the last one for ATMega based beacons (Blue, Green, Amber. Black, Indigo). Only bugfixes are possible.

NOTE: In rare occasions 0.59 firmware can incorrectly reade EEPROM data, that were saved by the previous version (0.58). This is observed as a "hang up" after initial hello tone. This is corrected by a forced reset to default settings.
