Looks like they may have addressed the reports of the battery draining power when the body was off but the extender was still attached.

Do you ever wonder if these firmware updates sometimes might include more "unofficial" hidden corrections of bugs (or 'phenomena' as Canon calls it)?. Embarrassing bugs they don't want to put on a sandwich board and ring a bell about.

I don't have anything to prove or support this theory - it's just a general feeling. *tin foil hat on*

I suspect it happens quite frequently.

I did not know this was a thing. Although I feel like the battery life on mine hasn't been nearly as good as the mk3 or sR. If it does improve battery life that will be welcomed.

Yes, and firmware updates sometimes introduce new bugs.

Very common in the industry, a lot of the companies have 2 sets of release notes, the one for internal use and the one for release to the public. There are multiple reasons to do this, but not revealing or drawing attention to embarassing bugs is one. For instance a bug that caused the camera to lock up (normally shouldn't happen if they use the watchdog timer correctly... most embarassing among those who work in the field.)

Another thing to note is that firmware updates can remove features that weren't authorized, are problematic, causing problems or interacting in wierd ways. A good example is a company that removed ac3 playback from a media player because of licensing issues.
