It's my understanding that much of the strength came from
straightforward evaluation improvements. In addition the search was
improved too but the Monte Carlo stuff is a separate feature, not
related to the playing strength of the engine.
But apparently the monte carlo feature works well in some types of
positions for analysis, which implies that it needs time to work well.

If I understand the release note correctly, Monte Carlo Analysis is
something like a feature of the GUI for analyzing a position and
giving statistics back to the user, not part of the evaluation
function used in the search.
It also mentions a recent strength gain of 80 ELO. I would not be
surprised if they added MC to influence the search.
