Power BI Desktop Update Monthly
When can we typically expect PowerBI updates? Judging from historical updates it looks like they target one update per month. I guess I am pretty antsy for this months update. Is it safe to assume there will be an update today(9/29/2016) or tomorrow(9/30/2016)?
Actually, the August update was originally released on August 24th, 2016 as per this blog post:

So, I am guessing that there was enough feedback or some bugs were found that they released an update "bug fix" version of it. I believe that I am still running the original August update, 2.38.4491.282. With the build count only going up in last decimal area, this also seems to indicate that the most recent version is simply bug fixes.

Also 10 days or so after each month's main release they do an update which you can find at the above
So latest version is => 2.38.4491.642 Published on 9/15//2016
Are you expecting anything specific in the month's release?
