Canon 1DMkIII Firmware released!

Hot in my inbox this morning was an e-mail from Canon about the long awaited Firmware update for the 1D MkIII.
in their own words it fixes:

This firmware update (Version
1.1.0) incorporates the following
improvements and fixes.

Improves the look of images when played back on the LCD monitor.
Fixes a problem in the operation of the dials (Main, Quick Control, Vertical-grip Main).
Reduces the tendency to autofocus on the background instead of the main subject when shooting in AI Servo AF under certain conditions.
Corrects errors in the Italian and Simplified Chinese menu screens.
Fixes a rare phenomenon in which the camera cannot start normally when the battery is inserted. (Version 1.0.9 only)

The upgrade can be downloaded here.

Note the very quiet mention of a focusing fix!
