Fenix 5 FW 5.30?

I just connected my Fenix 5 to Garmin Express and was offered a software update to 5.30. Has anyone else seen this? Or experienced an offer to update to a seemingly unreleased version?

My watch now reports:

Software Version 5.30 (b2b1a60)
Wi-Fi: 2.30
CIQ: 2.3.2
GPS: 4.30
BLE/ANT/SNS: 3.20
WHR: 20.03.20

I forgot to record the details from 5.10 so I'm not sure if this is a labelling error upstream or if this is actually a new FW release.

Cheers,
Douglas

It's just been officially posted in the 935 forum, so I guess a similar post any second now in this forum....

Garmin web updater and Garmin express say mine is up to date with 5.1

If you check the official post on the 935 forum, they do say it's a phased roll out again, so not everyone will get it at the same time.

It seems it has no changes other than to fix something in that new delta update process, so I wouldn't expect much...

Stellen Sie bitte auf jeden Fall sicher, dass die aktuellste Firmware installiert ist. Hier gibt es bei fast jedem Update auch ?berarbeitungen der GPS-Software.

And GPS Firmware is still 4.30.
what a joke.

What version FW and SW were the original retail units?

5.30 fixes the DND bug as well

Well I finally got 5.10 on mine overnight when they released this. Is this the new update process though? Phone app updates get pushed at the very last moment?

Seems only main software is updated. All other modules seem to still remain the same since 4.30 so I wouldn't expect any improvement on WHR, connectivity or GPS issues. Luckily my watch is mostly fine with only minor sensor drop outs, everything else has worked satisfactory so far.

I just recharged this morning (bat low from 9 hour event yesterday), when I unplugged it, I was prompted to update my F5 to Software version 5.3. I said ok and have not had any problems. I would like to know what has been updated. I was working with Garmin support on a GPS accuracy issue in mountains.
