That looks like an emergency fix. I doubt that there’s Apple Pay Cash included as the watchOS beta is missing.
Sometimes the final beta is the release version (build) and sometimes basically the same version without the beta code and build versioning "5" and the revision letter at the end. Yet sometimes its an entirely new build that only Apple and the carriers test.
And they said it wouldn't happen
Things like this happening further clouds the question about the betas we get are outdated from what Apple actually has. It makes total since if there was a small issue in Fridays beta that needed an unplanned fix that was seen last minute, BUT if Apple is already "several builds ahead" then why release Fridays version without this last minute change then release another version the next business day? Food for thought!
It's usually a mix of things. Internally development is often ahead in one sense or another. And then at times some urgent change need to be made that then would be made both in development branches and perhaps betas that might be our and maybe even in production if the change is urgent and important enough.Sometimes the final beta is the release version (build) and sometimes basically the same version without the beta code and build versioning "5" and the revision letter at the end.

I’m thankful for madscotsman’s accurate information. If anyone can do better, please prove it to all of us.
Why? Every time I make the statement something happens.You've got to stop making statements like this!
But in all seriousness, we all know I was responding to him saying public release.[doublepost=1508784481][/doublepost]
He didn’t say it wasn’t. If he doesn’t make a claim it doesn’t go against him.
Let’s be honest madscotsman is one of the reasons this thread is more interesting
But did he get it wrong? Yes he said Beta 4 was the last beta, but being he doesn't work for Apple, a last minute change over the weekend is definitely plausible. I would call it more of a hiccup then flat out wrong.

Beta 4 was supposed to be the final build, but a critical bug was found and the software had to be re-spun.

Not quite the thread for that (plus more than a few hours are needed to get a decent idea).
I’m sorry for asking what seems like a simple question, I’m not familiar with beta history.. but in theory is the intended final beta the build that’s released to public or is the public release always or sometimes an altered version?

For this particular version at least it will (would?) be different since the final will include Apple Pay cash.
But then again nobody knows how it will work , if it is a server side activation it could be very well be this beta 5 the version released for public...
Interesting and weird. If customers outside of France are unable to use Apple Pay, the bank might use some kind of credit card/customer address comparison. Or France customers also have french N26 credit cards. But I may think the first one.
There are still no n26 launches in Spain, Italy and Finnland.
So the Scandinavian payment were also active. Interesting.
