Our Zoe downloaded and is installing an update today. Not seen any posts about it here or elsewhere. Anyone else had it? What does it change, if anything? The release notes are blank.

Yes, mine went through a lengthy download and install process. Said it was installed at next startup, but no change to software version or installation date.

I suspect this was a map update - not sure. My map is now on 2023 ver1, but I can't correlate it with this update - which for me came a couple of weeks ago.

On the other hand the latest update (from last year) seems to have introduced a more advanced form of trip planning.
Now - when you navigate to a destination beyond your range - the nav adds charging stops to your plan.
When you approach a charging stop it tells you about how many minutes you need to spend charging.

Maybe this functionality was there before, but I've just now discovered it.

I wonder if mine did an update 2 days ago. I was driving and the GOM suddenly went haywire. It started showing several different mpkwh. Down to -1 then up to 3.5 then down again to 1.3 then up to 10 then 6.6 then 3.5. All in a few seconds. Eventually it settled to 5.5 and has steadily over a couple of journeys has settled to 4.4. Before this it had been holding at 3.9 for several weeks.

I have no idea if it is related to this (or any other) uodate, but my charge scheduling has suddenly started working. I have always had to check a charge has started because often it just ignored the schedule. Also if I got back and plugged in after a scheduled charge start time it was ignored. Suddenly it works. I can now plug in after the start time and it just starts charging until the scheduled end time. I can even leave the car plugged in all day after a partial charge (5 hours on octopus go faster) and it will resume charge the next night at the allotted time. Before I would have to unplug, start car, stop car, plug in and even that didn't always work. Much happier.
