Hi, I’ve upgraded to EOtopo2024. On my iPhone and iPad the LoRes and HiRes packs state they are at version 2024. However the contour pack and terrain and
hill shade pack are still at version 2023. On my iPhone I tried uninstalling the optional packs and reinstalling, but version 2023 is what is being installed. Is this what I should be expecting? I couldn’t find this in the FAQ section of
EOTopo.

Mine is the same. I just assumed it was correct , and the contour pack etc had not changed.
Cheers

Roads change, conditions change, but contours don't change (except where there is a very big iron ore or coal
mine , or there was an error :) )

Probably no use spending time to rename it '24 with no changes.
Not in Oz, but Tuvalu has more area, (87 Hectares more land) than a few years ago so their contours are different, seaside! Some other Islands the same story. Some believe they is sinkin'.

Although circumstances and roads are subject to change, topographies remain constant (with the possible exception of really large coal or iron ore mines, or instances of human mistake, of course :)).

Yes, as Eddie & Peter have correctly stated, contours don't change and so we haven't regenerated new map packs for the contours or terrain shading packs. Sorry for confusion but we wanted to alleviate the need for people to delete and then redownload the same data if going from the 2023 editio to the 2024 edition.
