That is about the time frame for the change-over: some who purchased their kits on Amazon Prime Day (and sent their kits in right away) were processed on v4 and some on v5. It doesn't matter where you purchased the kit (which is just for mailing in the sample). It depends on when your sample arrived at the lab. I plan to test myself to see how my results compare, and I was advised to wait until this week to be sure it would be v5. Currently the version number appears as part of the file name when you download your raw data; I assume (but don't know for certain) that will apply to v5.
