Canon 5D MKII firmware upgrade - did I dream it?

I could swear I saw something yesterday about a firmware update for the 5DMKII that allowed manual exposure control in video mode...I cannot find anything about it now though. Did I imagine it?

Yes, you can use manual exposure controls with video.

Were you reading about 'magic lantern'? It's a firmware hack that adds some seriously awesome features for video on the 5d mkii.
