I think they're still working on fixing the (many) issues the new version has. They didn't release a public beta for his update, for some reason, and pushed the update directly to production. It's almost like they decided to use Premium users and those who noticed the new features as beta testers and see what happens/what's critical to fix/what behavior can be tuned before notifying everyone about stories

Hm... Good point, very strange either way. Especially with Durov talking about it before the update was released in his channel, it seemed like it was going to be released with a bunch of fanfare.
Maybe it will get a proper announcement like you say, after they fix some bugs.
