The now official V3 software is *not* compatible with the V2 boards. However, the V2 boards will have their own firmware lineage lineage which will mirror the functionality of the V3 boards, so no worries.
The files to download for the V3 boards are here:

(This is all under the Information Library Section)
The Beta 3 firmware under the files section will GO AWAY- the V2.5 firmware refrenced above is actually the V3 beta firmware, designed to work with the V2 boards. So that's what you want to use from now on.
Going forward all V2.x related files will carry a V2.x version label to distinguish it from V3.x. I had anticipated keeping the same version for all but testing and design considerations for V3 ended up requiring me to separate the two.
Hope this helps,
Brent
