Software Version 25.04 - What's Contained?

So my Forerunner 955 got a pretty big update last night: 25.04 (up from 24.12)

Can't find any details online about what this update contains, anyone from Garmin able to provide some details?

I'm NOT in the beta program (to my knowledge)... I tried to join a well over year ago but it had closed

Oddly, when I check my watch directly, and GC app, I see 25.04, but when I check GC website devices (it's just been synced) it still shows 24.12

Definitely a big update showed up last night and took a few minutes to install, so wasn't a minor fix

Anyway just curious, all working fine

Found this on the 965 forum, given how similar the watches are, assuming they got the same update?

Well, check again. (Visible in Garmin Connect Web profile)

Obviously you are in Beta, as 25.xx is the Beta Series that started last week, See the Beta section of this forums.

I'm also not in the beta programme but when I checked for software updates in the settings on the watch firmware version 25.04 downloaded.

25.04 is a general release firmware containing the fixes from the 25.02 beta.

Well username checks out...

And nope, still not in beta. Obviously, since I'm not the only one got this update under GA.

And yes I did check the beta section and 25.04 isn't there either. Obviously.

So obviously I'm not in beta. As I said.

Wrong version. 25.04. Very very definitely 25.04. Loads of people got the same on the 955, 965, 255, 265, and 165. Not beta

As usual the fitness division makes a big mess with the SW versions, I am not registered in the beta program and I also have 25.04 available, I checked with express because I have the updates blocked (I don't trust it) and I found a long list of bug fixes, what I don't understand is why they don't miss the opportunity to respond on the forum to contact support in case of anomaly but they are not clear in these situations
