Power BI Desktop Optimized for Power BI Report Server Updates

I'm working with 'Power BI Desktop (Optimized for Power BI Report Server)'. I can't seem to find any updates for this to install to get the latest functionality.  I have the March 2018 version and I would like to use some of the features (Drill through with multiple parameters) available in the latest update in May 2018. Are the updates available on Power BI Desktop (Optimized for Power BI Report Server)'?

Nope, the Desktop client for Report Server is only updated when updates for Report Server are released. Don't think a date's been mentioned yet, but I think the next Report Server release is due in the next few months.

Ah ok.  Thanks for confirming.

Given release cycle of +/- 4 months I would expect an update begin of August 2018
