Yes, that was an intentional change in the latest firmware. Please read
the release notes when (or before) you upgrade!

* MAX POWER LEVEL NOW 110 W (was 120 W): This is intended
to reduce the possibility of excess KPA3 operating current on some
bands. This might have occurred when using a high power setting
along with low power supply voltage and/or a high load SWR.
(Note: The recommended maximum power setting is still 100 W.)
