Updated last night.

The website says : G930AUCS4APJ4
But my version is : G930AUCU4APJ4

Disabled bloatware "Full Screen"

I noticed battery life is somewhat poorer. I used to get about 3.5-4 of SOT; today is only 2.5-3 hours. Not sure if it's due to the way I used it today. Will monitor this some more.

By the way, this Nov 8 AT&T software update for S7 / S7 edge is for security patch level of October 1, 2016. Not the latest Nov 1 patch which TMO customers already getting.

Same for me with the poor battery life. It really sucks when a Samsung "update" seems to be a step backwards...

Ok, I think I found the cause for the higher battery drain after the latest AT&T update. I have the WI-FI scanning featured turned on so it will still search for Wi-Fi access points even if the WI-FI is turned off in my S7. Previously this wasn't an issue with battery life impact, but after the recent update I noticed that the WI-FI icon in the pulldown system shade was pulsing on and off (as if the WI-FI was being turned on and off repeatedly). I went into the settings and turned off Wi-Fi scanning and now it seems my battery life is back to normal.
