 '''PHY/MAC Hardware Changes:'''
- * Added software-control of resets for MAC core Tx state machines; now possible to terminate pending Tx without clearing all MAC state
- * Moved microsecond timer to dedicated wlan_mac_time core. New core has two microsecond counters, MAC Time and System Time
+ * Added software-control of resets for MAC core Tx state machines; now possible to terminate a pending Tx without clearing all MAC state
+ * Moved microsecond timer to dedicated wlan_mac_time core. New core has two microsecond counters, MAC Time and System Time (see below for details)
  * Added pipeline registers in multiple PHY/AGC nets that are commonly critical timing paths

  * Renamed "Tx/Rx stats" to "Tx/Rx counts" throughout the code
  * Used new per-FSM resets in wlan_mac_hw to better handle cancellation of pending Tx events. Previous version cleared all MAC state to cancel a pending Tx.
+ * Improved safety when iterating over doubly-linked lists ({{{dl_list}}} instances) when handling wlan_exp commands; traversing {{{dl_list}}} instances now limits the number of iterations to the length of the list, avoiding potential infinite loops when list contents change in mid-traversal ISRs

 '''wlan_exp Framework Changes:'''
  * Simplified process for extending wlan_exp C and Python with custom commands. More details in the [wiki:../wlan_exp/HowToAddCommand user guide].
- * Updated wlan_exp to use new [browser:edk_user_repository/WARP/sw_services/WARP_ip_udp_v1_00_a WARP_ip_udp] stack], replacing WARPxilnet
+ * Updated wlan_exp to use new [browser:edk_user_repository/WARP/sw_services/WARP_ip_udp_v1_00_a WARP_ip_udp stack], replacing WARPxilnet
  * Updated definitions of BSS Info, Station Info and Tx/Rx Counts structures to not rely on numpy when used outside the context of log entries
+ * Added support for jumbo frames, especially beneficial when retrieving large logs
