9.10

strange, same version like beta 

So it is interesting to know, if one, who has installed 9.10 beta, will get the 9.10 final version...

If you are already on the 9.10 Beta you won't get another update to the release version as it's the same.

Garmin Express showed the update for my Edge 1030 was available, but when I connected my edge 1030; Express didn't copy an updated GCD file to my device but on sync reported the correct release firmware was installed & the update notification was removed 

Ok, thanks. I thought they might have changed/added something in the final version...

Yes, it's the same. If it was different, it would be a different number.

(It would be hard to manage things in software development if one used the same numbers for different things. It would be all sorts of awful.)

Here's more support (from the 1030+) that it's the same:

Thanks. That is confusing people in the edge forums- so Garmin Edge team should handle this perhaps different.

And it isn't the most earth shattering of releases anyway, given the fairly minor "Improvements" & " Fixes" it could have easily  fitted logically in a 8.21 minor release perhaps. I tested each of the betas and couldn't actually detect any difference with some of the "improvements"
