Nah, nothing "brand" new. But a few years ago, they made some changes
to the transmitters that were supposed to improve them but along with
that came some things that changed how they had to be installed. BUT
...... aside from the great success I've had with them, I've got a list
of about ten items of improvements that would sure make them alot
easier to install, from the installers point of view. I'd like to see a
small "button" transmitter like the ademco unit but wouldn't want to
sacrafice signal strength.

I haven't tried the new RF keypad because I always use the top end
alpha numeric Rcp12ae7y3rjklmnopq (or what ever the hell it is) keypad.
And the RF kepad isn't the same. I don't want the client to have to
learn to use two different keypads, so I just stick to the receivers.

VERY reliable if it's installed properly. But, as I've said in the
past, generally speaking, it takes me just about as long to do a
wireless system as it does a wired system. I really detail the
placement and signal strength of transmitters and receivers. I did a
relatively small system (small house) a few weeks ago and got 10's on
all 22 transmitters with one receiver.
