Repetier-Host not showing "E" settings?

I am using the following setup.
RUMBA controller
Diamond hot end
Marlin 1.1.0-RC-8
Repetier-Host V1.6.2

I have noticed that when I start Repetier-Host the "E" specification is not transferred from the firmware.

Is this normal for am I not doing something correctly?

These are my settings:
/**
* Default Axis Steps Per Unit (steps/mm)
* Override with M92
* X, Y, Z, E0 [, E1[, E2[, E3]]]

*/

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 160, 160, 3200, 188.53 }

/**
* Default Max Feed Rate (mm/s)
* Override with M203
* X, Y, Z, E0 [, E1[, E2[, E3]]]
*/
#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE { 300, 300, 5, 25 }

/**
* Default Max Acceleration (change/s) change = mm/s
* (Maximum start speed for accelerated moves)
* Override with M201
* X, Y, Z, E0 [, E1[, E2[, E3]]]
*/
#define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION { 3000, 3000, 100, 10000 }



Any thoughts or suggestions?

thanks

As it turns out this appears to be a problem in Marlin 1.1.0-RC8 firmware.
I tried using the M502 followed by the M500 command but that did not work.
So I changed the version of firmware to Marlin 1.1.0.-RC8 Bug Fix and that worked.
I don't know if this would work for anyone else, but for me it did.
Thanks
