...Outside of those on the Avast beta stream, there has only been one regular program release for 19.7 (that is 19.7.2388), as in release through either the Avast UI program update or downloading (using the links at the top of this topic) either the full off-line or an on-line installation method.
Because I control when updates are installed and benko wrote:
...Version 19.7 is not spread yet, only few percents of users have it. The absolute majority of users would be migrated next week and by then the fix will be applied.....
I thought I should wait for an updated off-line installer, and when benko then wrote:
...- In the latest 19.7 version, separated data consent, the new entry in Personal Privacy settings (...analysis of product performance and usage) now mirrors the setting of original (merged) data sharing property. So if the previous one was off, both are off now....
I assumed, evidently incorrectly, that this corrected "latest 19.7 version" had been pushed out to users; so I was concerned that the off-line installer appeared to be the same as when originally released. I also assumed that if the "uncorrected" 19.7 version was installed, the new entry would be checked and subsequent updates would likely leave it checked. (It's not impossible to do something like keeping track of the last manually-set value so a later version could take that into account.)
Anyway, I have since unchecked the old combined entry (was checked due to my indifference, e.g. opt out had succeeded in leaving it set previously); then applied the off-line installer I had in hand. The new checkbox was indeed checked as expected.
