No update for me. Guess, I have to wait a little bit more.
Didn't Garmin Express showed you a Changelog?

I upgraded over Wi-Fi

strange: previous updates went from 6,4 to 7.1 to 8.2 and now after months to 8.4
seems a very lttle update?

Yes, I was also suprised. Tbh, I speculated, that the version will be at least 9.*

Did 8.40 got reverted?

It has been removed from https://www8.garmin.com/support/downloa ... p?id=15403

Garmin Express also doesn't offer any 8.40 anymore, if 8.20 is still installed.
