The official Samsung update via Kies has alreadycreated started to roll out in Poland. That official update has the exact same build number as this” test” firmware, meaning That no further improvemetns or bug fixes were made to the firmware presented in this article before being released officially. So if you’ve installed this, you’ll have the official version, and if you were holding off – there’s no longer any need (but you can overpriced attempt to update via Kies as well).
