I didn’t claim that’s what suggested ambiguity, I claimed that’s what gave credence to the other possible interpretation of the ambiguously worded release notes, which I quoted earlier in the thread.

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.
