PC users would of already received their update. Console gamers, expect it in the near future. There is no confirmation on what exactly the console crowd will see, but it's a given that a lot of the visual updates will not be for the console.
I can only guess, with the first DLC coming next month, this is when the update will go live, to coincide with the release.

Share your profile and stats with new Battlelog functionality
- Ability to share your Profile and Stats pages to Facebook, Google+, and Twitter
- User Profile and Stats pages on Battlelog can now be accessed without being signed in to Battlelog if you know a user's URL
- Single sign on from Battlelog to Origin. If you're not logged in to Origin and join a game server, Battlelog will automatically sign you in to Origin in the background and join the game server
I haven't played it in a little while, so I am not too sure on what the problems are, but it looks like Dice have been hard at work. Kudos to them.Quick notes on Squad changes in the Nov 22 update
- Removed FIND ME A SQUAD option
- Allow players to join empty Squads alone, thus having 1/4 squad members
- Change order of options to LEAVE SQUAD, INV A FRIEND, SWITCH TEAM
- Disable Privacy flag when 1 man squad
- Reset Privacy flag from Private to Public when squad drops to 1 player
- All occupied Squads will now show up colored blue on the Squad Selection screen
- Players who choose not to join squads will also show up as Blue in the "Not in a Squad" line
- Squads that are currently empty will display as white - if you wish to join an empty Squad, you can choose the first one marked with white text
I can only guess, with the first DLC coming next month, this is when the update will go live, to coincide with the release.
