Freecell Solver version 3.0.0 has been released. It is available in the form of a source tarball from the download page. We hope to release a Windows binary soon.
This release implements the flares API (see the usage document), which allows running several alternative scans and then picking up the one with the shortest solution. It also adds the -l children-playing-ball and -l sentient-pearls presets that optimise on solution length (based on flares).
Also see the post about this release to the fc-solve-discuss mailing list giving some of the motivation for the new major release digit (3.x.y instead of 2.x.y).
