BR500 updated Firmware 5.8.0.1 doesn't exist

This morning, the following e-mail arrived:

 

"Dear xxxxx,

The following firmware is available to upgrade your device:

Firmware Details:
Model BR500
Firmware Version: 5.8.0.1
Release notes:

Insight Instant VPN Router BR500 Firmware version 5.8.0.1"

 

When I went to the Netgear Webpage to download the updated firmware, only 5.7.0.4 is available

Netgear, what are you doing to us?
