There's a changelog included in the Maemo-Upgrade-Description, but I guess if you've already installed it it's too late to see it so here goes:

Code:
 kernel-diablo:
  * Fixes: BMO#2249: FM Radio frequency not set for use in Japan.
  * Fixes: BMO#2491: cant run camera applications with v4l2.
  * Fixes: BMO#3123: Patch to kernel to allow DSP framebuffer sharing on N8x0
    devices
  * Fixes: BMO#3519: Integrate screen rotation patches into stock kernel.
  * Changed debian/rules to do a parallel make because Diablo's
    dpkg-buildpackage is too old to support -j and I'm lazy.
 xserver-xomap:
  * Fixes: BMO#3519: Integrate screen rotation patches into stock kernel and X
    server.
There are a couple of more kernel patches in the queue (bug 2504 & bug 3243) but these are not yet integrated as they go into kernel modules and it's pointless to build them until we have some way to update the initfs. I spoke briefly to Stskeeps on IRC earlier this week and it seems (understandably) that a licencing request will not go very far so I'm still pondering how to do it.

The easiest option seems to be to just remount initfs rw temporarily and copy the new modules over the old ones. There's enough free space there on N800/N810 for this to be reasonably safe once or twice, however it's not a good long-term solution and I'm not quite sure about how much free space there is on an N810W. The other option would be to steal the initfs rebuilding stuff from bootmenu to create a fresh jffs2 image and flash it but that's obviously more complicated. If anyone has any other suggestions I'm all ears!
