Not sure what you are talking about here, but if you mean has there been an update in the Screaming Eagle Pro Street Tuner software since Sept, 2016, then the answer is yes. Whenever you launch the software program on your computer it will look for updates and download them. The next update will be sometime in August 2017. The exact date is unknown. If I was to hazard a guess it would be sometime around when they introduce the 2018 bikes.
I hope that is what you are asking.

There was talk a while back about an ECM software update (not the tuner) coming out sometime late this summer. What it contains is a mystery to me.

Calibration update
Hardware number 41000307
Calibration Part Number 4100048A
Does not apply to twin cooled emgines desined for Air Cooling
Or ones Race tuned or with SE Performance parts.

What it did was raise Idle speed mainly for charging reasons.

If your asking about the stock OEM calibration yes it has been updated from Sept. of '16. They are now on the third calibration, so I guess you would call that two revisions to all M8's.
