Yesterday. Today it's back to the old ones (that are out to lunch- compared to AncestryDNA gives me 96% French which is in keeping with the paper trail), but I had never noticed the other genetic groups which are similar to what AncestryDNA gives me and are accurate.
English52.9% (when you include the North of France to England...)
Italian25.1% (really?)
North and West European22.0%
GENETIC GROUPS
French Canadians in Canada (Quebec) and in Northeastern USA
French settlers in Canada (Quebec) and in USA (New England)
French settlers in Canada (New Brunswick and Quebec) and in USA (Massachusetts and Maine)
Acadians in Canada (Eastern Quebec and New Brunswick)
French settlers in Northeastern USA and in Canada (Quebec and Ontario)
Louisiana

I wouldn't bet my house on it, but Rootstech is on, so if they were going to do something they might coincide it with that.

In his chat with Connie Knox, Daniel Horowitz said they will release ethnicity estimate 2.0 in the summer. Whether that happens or not is *shrugs* we will see.

From Roberta Estes:
This is going to make a lot of people happy!
MyHeritage is in the process of updating their ethnicity results, increasing their regions from 42 to 80, with significantly optimized granularity in Europe. I initially misunderstood and thought the new results were available now, but they won’t arrive until summer.
I understand from talking to a Jewish friend involved in MyHeritage’s R&D effort that their own results are substantially improved and that they have now been placed in Armenia where their ancestors are from. They are no longer generically “Jewish.”
We've been burnt before but if specifics are leaking out then that is hopefully positive. For me MyH has the worst ethnicity estimate so an improvement is long overdue

I just hope they remove mestizos and use full indigenous american samples in the Mesoamerican & Andean section.

One can only hope that finally one of these leading companies will pay more closer attention to Eastern Europe and start to show a regional breakdown, because there are pretty considerable differences between Czechs, Russians, Ukrainians, Hungarians, just to name a few.

I'm not expecting miracles, to be honest, the "genetic groups" are quite accurate, but the general estimate... we've seen a growth of regions in FTDNA's last update and that didn't help to improve results for me and my family.
It's all about the method: why can 23andMe be so accurate (exactly paint the right segments "Jewish" or "SE Asian" besides the Euro in my case) and can FTDNA or MyHeritage not, although they have many more matches to work with? The current estimate looks like what I get using the entire G25 dataset: a little bit overfitted and not tailored.

The current estimate looks like what I get using the entire G25 dataset: a little bit overfitted and not tailored. I think the answer is 23andme have made significant efforts to build (as accurate as they can) ethnic DNA profiles by actually proactively doing population DNA studies and trying to get reference samples, such as the studies they did specifically for Africa and some Asian communities more recently. Whereas I am guessing MyHeritage and FTDNA try and work it out from their own database + family trees, which is often not so accurate, one because family trees can often be wrong, due to NPEs or simply bad research, and they are usually not reference samples either.
