MXI files generated in beta 1.2.0 are obsolete. You need to generate the MXI with the new patch 1.2.1.
There are 2 types of MXI
- MXI continuables: this is a MXI file generated from a render and can be used to continue the render. This is generated launching a render with -mxi:w option. Then it is continuable with -mxi:c option
- MXI emission: this is a MXI generated from conversion of a image to MXI ( with the interface ). You can apply this MXI to an emitter. The render will show an ilumination generated from this MXI on the emitter.
Next versions will have more applications about MXI.

yeap, I was trying to resume a 1.2 render and it stopped after the first iteration.
1.2.1 it's great, it has still issues to fix ,like clipmaps and fog, otherwise I find it much better than 1.2. The only thing I find annoying and useless is the message in the console after each iteration " updating frame", "frame updated", but this is a minor issue and a matter of taste...

Oooh
What most bothered me is still there: dielectrics and clipmap bugs. I'll have to wait longer. Anyway this version has many improvements. Keep it up NL!

It works good here.
Attention: old mxi textures dosn't work, but after a new conversion it works also.
