New Public Beta 9.81 - Whats new?

Hello, my Edge 830 installed new firmware (9.81) on Friday. I only later saw that it was a beta version and that I was apparently participating in the beta program. :-)
Does anyone know what's new compared to 9.75?

Apparently it's a secret? Some unkind users have suggested it's more of a "marketing" release as there has been no release for over 12 months…

Apparently it's a secret? Some unkind users have suggested it's more of a "marketing" release as there has been no release for over 12 months, and the devices are still for sale new from Garmin in many regions. A x.79 Beta addressing "sensor drop-outs" was held from May 23 to Aug 23 , had lots of participation but was never released and had no explanation why it just closed

The x.81 change log says,.

Fixed several stability and functionality issues.

There are some discussions in the 1030+ forum and in the 530/830/1030/1030+ Beta forum but no-one seems to know what "stability" and what "functionality" issues are addressed

You must have clicked on the "participate in Beta" button at some stage

Not surprisingly, while its been out for a few days now there is not a lot of enthusiasm or participation to-date.
