I didn't notice any difference at all.

After installing, I can no longer use the auto task to install ATS. I think it has something to do with the FMM module. I also installed the new firmware for the FMM... 
Going to call APEX... just haven't had a chance.

I did the update and lost the ability to use eb832 outlets, trident wouldnt test, i couldnt change settings on heaters for instance etc. After doing some research I saw where users had problems with the Apex microsd card while doing updates. Evidently some microsd cards go bad while trying to do an update. first off I didnt even know they had a microsd card to begin with. I swapped mine out with a blank card I had and all is working as it should now. Very easy to do

I’ve installed it with no issues other than on both tanks it then said the FMM module software was out of date.
I just updated the FMM separately and is fine

Not specific to your issues...but might be worth a try....
The "patch notes" for the FMM specify that you need to unplug it for five seconds. I was getting erratic/low flow reports after the update until I went searching and found the "patch notes". Everything is normal after the five second unplug/replug.

I will unplug and see if that helps... Strangely, I also had a APEX utility pump V2 go bad after the update. It had only been turned on a dozen times... now it turns on for a second then turns off...
