Vera2 UI5 upgrade

Today I looked into the vera2 firmware tab and noticed that it does not tell me anything about new firmwares.
But if I go to http://cp.mios.com/firmware it will inform me that there is 2 new firmwares. One new for the UI4 and one for UI5. If investigating the URL for the UI5 firmware it actually says beta there. But regarding to the release notes it's supposed to be the real deal now.

Now it's updated and I have to say I do prefer the new look! And I have also seen that now there is things that I was not succesfull with earlier that is working. Like this http://868mhz.blogspot.com/2012/02/overide-scheduler-master-virtual-switch.html

If I only could control it from my Vera, then I would have put a order by now...
