This is from the readme:

V1.51 - February 17th, 2014
=======================
- Modified Dark Phoenix scores and shots
*Initial scores stay the same, but bonus scoring from ball/side losses have decreased slightly.
*Storm and Rogue shots no longer add time to all sides, but decrease the main timer by 15 seconds. This allows players to reach the final shot sooner, if they so desire or are able.
*Side timers have been reduced to 75s from 120s.
- Fixed an issue where Deadpool could be stolen by another player in a multiplayer game.
- Fixed a timing issue that prevented Xavier's starting light show from completing. Regular game play is now delayed to allow for the light show to finish.
- Fixed a timing issue that prevented ball locks from the Phoenix shot after a skill shot. Phoenix shot is no longer ignored after the skill shot.
- Removed Wizard Multiball shell. This was a wizard mode tested in early beta versions that was brought to prominence due to the last round of changes. It was inadvertently activated and is not an intented feature currently.

It was the "Wizard Multiball" round that was just text. It was qualified by getting to DR, DP and beating Mags in the same game. It's gone now; it's for the better

Yes. Still 10 minutes, but it feels MUCH better and balanced than before.

In 1.5, the Storm and Rogue shots during DP would increase all sector timers, and the only way to decrease the overall mode timer was through blackbird awards.

Now, in 1.51, the Storm and Rogue shot decrease the overall mode timer, which really does help if you have the Clops->Storm combo down. The JPs in the mode have also been scaled back a bit, making it feel much less lopsided on the points.

The downside? In 1.51 now it seems that DP will just up and end early on you, even if you have time left on the sectors. Don't know really what's causing the issue, but it's been submitted to Stern, and seeing how prompt Waison seems to be with the fixes, I would have to assume that 1.52, or whatever the code revision will be, is somewhere in the line now. Also the hero and villain inserts don't reset once DR and DP are reached, which really sucks, so I would assume that will get addressed as well as the "award lock" bug.

It's just comforting to know that Waison/Borg seem to care enough to make sure this game gets the right send off and not left with any bugs or progress-halting hang ups.

Hope that helps!

Yes, it still happens to me. I've forwarded everything that's been reported to Stern.

Haven't had much time for Pinside lately, but I wanted to jot down real quick that Cyclops completes after 3 shots to Clops (after it relights) for the lowest points possible.

The first attempt, after hitting Clops the first time:
-Storm is the highest points
-right pop/rogue is 2nd highest
-Wolvie/Xavier is lowest combo shot finish

The 2nd attempt should you fail to combo the first attempt; after hitting Clops the point amounts shift DOWN the playfield shots by one, so:
-The right pop is now the most points
-Wolvie/Storm is 2nd highest
-Rogue/Xavier is lowest combo shot finish

It's a little confusing, but that's how it works. No shift of points on third attempt if you fail the 2nd attempt, because the third valid Clops shot finishes the mode at lowest points value.

I agree. Xmen is such a deep game now, proper management of MB's and lock numbers is crucial and can be easily forgotten. This is a game where instant info can be a huge help. FWIW, I will pass it along and see what comes up. I'm sure they have their hands full with M50 code stuff at the moment, but I am fairly confident that we'll another fix update down the road once things settle and time is freed up. I'm willing to wait,me game is a blast as-is.

Deadpool status (kinda) is in the instant info. It tells you how many combos you're at, and I believe how many combos is needed for the next Deadpool hire, and every 10 combos hires Deadpool. If Deadpool is ready, you'll know by the pulsing flashers (and apron flashers if you have an LE).
