My Essence (2nd gen) was updated tonight.
It now shows:
Version
Does anyone know what has changed, has improved or was added (or lost) with this?
No info on the B&O webpage yet!
P.S. I see no changes so far!

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Apart from bug fixes, the only new feature was support enabled for BLE pairing.

Thanks Roger,
I just saw that there is an update for the BS1/2/35 with an even higher number:
v. 1.11. 8075– Released 28.02.2017
- Implemented new improved First Time Setup experience, via the new Bang & Olufsen App
- Fixed issue of WiFi network not always reconnecting (red LED blinking), after a router reboot
- Fixed issue where source list order was reset, after product reboot
- Fixed issue where Google Cast might not always start playing music
- Other smaller fixes and improvements
It says: '.... via the new Bang & Olufsen App'.
Which new (!) app, do they mean?
Millemissen:Which new (!) app, do they mean?
The new Bang & Olufsen app will replace the Beomusic App to play music & manage multiroom. If you want to see it, try it on Android, where the beta is available for everyone. On iOS, I think we have to wait a bit... I've read 2 months somewhere around on Beoworld...

Although I am not an Android user - of course I know of the (beta) Android app.
Just wondering why they mention the coming 'Bang & Olufsen app', when it is by far not released yet!

And no bass adjustment yet
I don't understand why as it has been implemented to others...

B&O said that the new app, the mother of all apps from them, is to be released the first week of March. The setup part looks much more intuitive, the rest will take some getting used to from this end.
@benoit
There is bass adjustment on the current SW for the Essence (bass/treble + loudness on/off). Also, you can now identify the connected speakers by name in the app. The adjustments made a lot of difference to my setup, but I found the loudness to so effective that I had to turn down the bass.

I was speaking about my BS2. I'm very much waiting for this one to have it as well as now I have to reduce a lot the bass with iTunes equalizer. I thought it was due to release end of January already :-(
Aussie Michael:And there is a video on B&O YouTube channel
Maybe I missed it, but can you please supply the link? I can't find anything related via a search on youtube
