I diff'ed the kernel sources and it appears the only change was to LZO compression.

Files changed:
crypto/lzo.c
fs/ubifs/compress.c
fs/ubifs/journal.c
fs/ubifs/sb.c
fs/ubifs/super.c
fs/ubifs/ubifs-media.h
include/linux/lzo.h
lib/lzo/lzo1x_9x.c

So they are now using this:
lib/lzo/Makefile
+lzo_compress-objs := lzo1x_compress.o lzo1x_9x.o


"lzo1x_9x.c -- implementation of the LZO1X-999 compression algorithm" - "This file is part of the LZO real-time data compression library."

Wikipedia has a bit of info:

On that note, does anyone have a changelog for the fixes coming in PR1.1?

Change your theme to N900 NSeries theme and you will see the icons

I rebooted just before and just after install and mine didn't change more than 1 MB. Sure it wasn't just flushing out cached data that did it?

In any case, mine's at 80% so i'm jealous.

They didn't change anything to the WLAN driver. The kernel source is available for all to see.

Your case is not related to the update at all. People start bad rumours this way. No evidence, just what they think they see.
