They do, but to be fair the wording is a bit ambiguous. Combined with an earlier post where somebody seemed to be commenting on the new dictionary, I think we can see where the confusion comes from:

> We've updated 18 of our current dictionaries and added 4 new ones (as of October 1, 2020):

Does the parenthetical statement apply to the entire sentence, or just the portion after 'and'? We now know that it applies to the entire sentence, but it can be correctly interpreted either way.

It can be very easy to interpret that as ... "we've updated our 18 current ones (already), and added 4 new ones (available Oct 1)", which is how I initially read it.
