The text of that page and the pdf files there are irrelevant, but the download file is correct.  The .GEL is the latest, and it's for DS1054z, no need to untangle same between confusing DS1000Z vs DS1000E.

In that page you need to click the firmware download link, where it writes

--- Quote ---The upgraded firmware for a DS1Z Series Scope can be downloaded from here
   
                             DS1ZUpdate.ZIP

--- End quote ---
and a file named "DS1000ZUpdate.zip" will be downloaded.  Inside the .zip, there is the firmware file, called "DS1000ZUpdate.GEL", and another text file called "MSO_DS1000Z Release Notes.txt" (inside the same .zip) with brief explanations of what was changed in the new firmware.  This info file is missing from the EU .rar file, but not needed by the oscilloscope.

The .GEL files from both sources are the same, so you don't need to take any extra action.

After any firmware update, don't forget to run a self-calibration (it is written somewhere in the Rigol docs).

To self-calibrate, keep the instrument running for at least half an hour to warm it up, unplug any probes, then to start a calibration press the white button "Utility", then in the column of buttons near the side of the display, press "down arrow" and the grey button "Self-Cal" -> "Start".

It will take about half an hour, or so, to finish.  Once the calibration is ended, restart (press the power button).

Have updated to 00.04.05.SP2.
Everything went well. Options remains unchanged.
But allowed size of logo file is now reduced to a small icon of around 3kbyte.
As I understand it is allocated logo file space in this firmware version still same as for older firmware versions but now original included logo file is just around 240x180 and RigolPacker does not allow increase of that size.

hammy:
Same here. Updated to 00.04.05.02.02 (aka 00.04.05.SP2) and everything looks fine. :-+

metrologist:
What was actually fixed? I haven't updated in a couple years (maybe 04.04.04.03), so any reason to do so?

Why wouldn't you update?  I have not seen any ill effects.

'Fixed' isn't the word that comes to my mind.
However, a list of changes was posted a few pages back:
   https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-rigol-ds1054z-oscilloscope/msg3745558/#msg3745558

Most noticeable to me is that a lot of new measurements have been added in the menus to the left of the screen.
