Firmware 17.04 Specifics ???

I have received the 17.04 firmware update. I do not see any release notes. What are the specific "improvements" in this update?

Very frustrating. A "lower" level device should not receive features not available in higher level device. Not good customer relations.

Probably some code modifications and cleaning. Nothing that will be visible for the end user, except maybe some bugs fixed or some tweaking in the performance

Sometimes Garmin puts new features on the newest hardware. Then possibly will push it to older watches.

Sleep assistant, snooze detection, is there a chance this will also appear in the venu 2 plus ?

Looking forward to adding "inline skating" that was added to Forerunner 965
