Update 27.1.0 not showing up with "Check for Updates"?

Archicad 27 update 27.1.0 was released yesterday:

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Graphisoft-Insights/Archicad-27-1-0-Update-release-and-changes-i...

 

For me (USA), "Check for Updates" tells me I'm up to date.  I have to go to the download site manually to find this update:

https://graphisoft.com/resources-and-support/downloads?section=update&localization=USA&type=FULL&ver...

 

Is "Check for Updates" working for anyone in any localization?  If so, great.  If not, then we need to let Support know.  Thanks.

For me after checking for updates, At the moment INT ver. gives me this message:

The Action Center does not show me the update (GER).

Clicking on "Check for updates" does not help.

However I can click on the other button "Download updates" (why? you just said there are none?!... 🤔) we come to an equally braindad page claiming that I am indeed using the lastest version.... – just to greet me with a download button for a newer version.....?!?!

Jeez, Graphisoft! Why is everything so utterly broken nowadays?

Thanks, all.  With 4 localizations all not showing the update, I've contacted two departments at Graphisoft to see if they can get this fixed.  It happened earlier this year with 26 as well... so clearly whoever is releasing the updates is not using the right checklist to get their ducks in order. 😥

Has anyone read the ‘List of Improvements’? It seems to have far less fixes/improvements listed than the Update Preview. Unless there are separate release notes that aren’t linked yet.

I never saw a notice about the Preview of this update,  @Lee Hankins  If there is still an active link to those release notes, could you post it?  What's also weird about the tiny number of fixes listed in the online notes is that the issues with Sonoma have not been addressed (or are not listed as addressed) and I would have thought that was priority number 2 (after any crash related bugs ... which does include some Sonoma issues).

It is not working with the GER version or the INT.

The Intel-based Mac-related viewport freeze disaster is also not addressed with this update.

In my point of view, the very few fixes don't qualify as a 27.1 update.

The link to the Preview Update has gone. Interestingly the Update Preview was called Update 1 and not the new version numbering. There are normally two links with updates ‘List of Improvements’ and ‘Release Notes’, the Release Notes link normally displays a lot more fixes with their DEF codes than the List of Improvements do.
