Unless it was actually released yesterday it didn't auto-update here.

it was released a couple of weeks ago. If you right-click the K icon in
the system tray, then in "About" you can see what version you are using.
Is it 736 (a.b) ?

Yes it is now, but only after I manually downloaded 736. After I saw
the post here I checked my version, which was not at 736 level but
which did carry the current day's date, implying that the day's
updating had been done. Anyway, I'm on a.b now. Incidentally, the
same thing happened when I was on K7. I saw that K9 had been released
in a newsgroup, and had to download it. Most of my other purchased
software lets users know when there's a new version/release available
if there's not an auto-update.

I thought KIS was supposed to alert users to a new version now, but it
certainly doesn't seem to. However, this upgrade, from 736 to
736(a.b), is achieved through the normal signature update mechanism.
