If you're the owner of a Google Play Edition Moto G, your update to
Android 5.1 has begun rolling out. Though these things roll out in
stages, you can always check manually for an update, or if you're too
impatient, you can download and flash the OTA manually using the link to
Google's server at the bottom of this post.
The build is LMY47M and the OTA clocks in at a fairly hefty 171 MB. As for what's new, you get all the assorted goodies that Google has added in 5.1 with the plain stock Android experience that you get on Nexus devices. There is presently no rumblings of any other GPE devices receiving Android 5.1, but since they have all historically come around the same time, it's probably safe to say we'll start seeing them sooner rather than later.
