Yeah the patch is here. Downloading using the warplan menu using a handle did not work as usual. So I downloaded the exe file from My Page on the Matrix site.
What is unusual, is that it does a complete uninstall/reinstall. It is busy doing that at the moment on my PC. Fingers crossed.
Update:
It just finished succesfully.
