Is there anything compelling about infotainment version 11040?

I have a 2021 Signature CX5, I am not having any problems with my infotainment, I have version 11022.
I was wondering are there any new features or some good reason for me to want to update to 11040?
thanks in advance.

I also have a 2021 Signature that I got new in March of 2021 that came with version 11022. I lived with the somewhat frequent rebooting issue (maybe a few times a month) until January of 2022 when I installed version 11038. I ran that version until July when I installed version 11040. I only had one reboot running version 11038 and 11040 has been pretty good too except for that one Sunday evening a month or two ago when rebooting ran rampant for many owners.

I have seen no functional or visual differences between any of those versions so if you're not experiencing problems I can't see any reason to upgrade.
 
They never add new features. If they do, it will be well documented here. LOL
I also don't think they have ever, not once ever, released a list of "What's new in this update" other then the big Carplay one. Obviously I like Mazda but some of the things they do make me wonder who makes some f these decisions.
Example, as long as there is no Firmware that will flat out destroy the damn thing I would offer several versions of it on my website.
Of course, I also would have hired the guys that made the Tweak app. ;()
