The blog posting the pack release fell through the cracks. Released on 10 July, I’ve had some issues getting the updated MSI’s, but they’re live now. I normally use the SQL Tech Community SQL releases site https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sql-server-blog/bg-p/SQLServer/label-name/SQLReleases
Don’t forget to look for SQL Security updates, (CU) Cumulative Updates, or (SP) Service Pack updates at the SQL releases link! https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sql-server-blog/bg-p/SQLServer/label-name/SQLReleases
