WYG R34 and HOG 2.7.0

One thing that I noticed today... It seems you have to assign Spot numbers for channels too to make them talk with Hog. Without Spot numbers intensity for channels goes from Hog to Wyg but not vice versa.
I think something has changed. If I remember right before you did not need Spot numbers for Channels in WYG.
Also focusing fixtures works pretty strange, but I think it is more like WYG issue. When I focus a fixture in Live. The fixtures seem to take the longest route (I must Flip them to correct the focus). Has anyone else experienced the same?
