Does the beta version 31.1.1 contain all of these fixes/new features found in this stable release candidate version 30.7 ?... as the release notes show much fewer fixes in the 31.1.1...

I'd suggest not as it came out some time earlier (I was testing it before release), but I cannot be certain!

Still no listed fix for the MR36H panic that causes it to reboot multiple times per hour. Disappointing, we may have to roll back to our MR30H units if it isn't fixed soon.
