I heard it was improvements in the lens corrections so when we use non-coded 
lenses it is unlikely we will see a change since there won't be one...

Yeah, me too.....

As far as I can tell, they changed the upgrade version number.  Period.

What both us do not see is the internal FW changes made, maybe to speed
things up in certain areas, add some features in the JPG area, maybe change
the algorithims in the compression or DNG areas, color space, etc.  Maybe
they did speed up the display recall, but I can not find it ( I also have
empty cards, so what can I tell?)

The changes are certainly subtle to me... 

Oh, and my Red Dot is still missing.. must have been the FW update.....

I updated my M8 yesterday, no problem what so ever, and i use a Mac. Now, if
I could only figure out what was improved.
