MQTT Manual Alarm Panel Issues

After the last update, I tried to update my alarm panel to use some of the new parameters listed in the MQTT Manual Alarm Panel documentation. However, I consistently receive configuration errors for some of the new params.

The following params are not allowed:

code_template
code_arm_required

The error thrown in the Configuration validation is as follows:

Invalid config for [alarm_control_panel.manual_mqtt]: [arming_time] is an invalid option for [alarm_control_panel.manual_mqtt]. 
Check: alarm_control_panel.manual_mqtt->arming_time. (See ?, line ?).

Also, after the latest update, I would expect the Manual MQTT (Alarm Panel) to share the same configuration and params as the Manual (Alarm Panel). This was mentioned as a breaking change in the recent release of Home Assistant 0.110, yet those changes for the Manual Alarm Panel are not reflected in the documentation for the MQTT Manual Alarm Panel. It’s a bit confusing since the MQTT Manual is based on the Manual.

I would expect that I could do this in my configuration file for the platform manual_mqtt:

alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: manual_mqtt
    state_topic: home/alarm
    command_topic: home/alarm/set
    trigger_time: 1800 
    disarm_after_trigger: false
    delay_time: 30 
    arming_time: 60 
    command_template: "{\"action\":\"{{action}}\",\"code\":\"{{code}}\"}"
    code_arm_required: false
    code_disarm_required: true
    code: 1234

Has anyone encountered this issue and perhaps knows if this is just a temporary oversight in the documentation? I am the maintainer of an open source MQTT Alarm Panel for Android based on the MQTT Manual Alarm Panel, so it would be nice to use some of these new updates such as the command template and arming and disarming states.

Thanks!
