Microsoft has released the July 2016 round of firmware and driver updates for the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book. They come with a long list of improvements.
Those were the only two devices to be receiving updates. The Surface 3's last update was in June, which probably shouldn't be a surprise, as the device is slated to be discontinued later this year. The Surface Pro 3 hasn't received an update since April.
Here is what's new in the new updates:

As we can see, the new updates include fixes for touch, tablet mode, audio, and quite a bit more. The list is quite a bit larger than last month's round of updates, which only contained three for the Surface Pro 4 and four for the Surface Book.
