This one is a whopping 114 Mbytes!!! I was wondering <sarcasm on> if maybe they switched from Linux to Windows 7 or something <sarcasm off>. But if they buried a dictionary in the build somewhere, that might account for the size growth. I mean 30 Mbytes of growth in the ZIP file? That's more than just bug fixes and performance enhancements!!!
Mine was 108.2MB (113454877) on Linux
The Dec 2009 one was 104.1MB (109134810)
Not everything compresses the same.

So far, this version has done the following:
Clock setting was stubborn in accepting DDMMYYYYY keypresses Hint do it snail slow.
Would not detect my SD Card insert, had to reset, set clock, again no joy.
Reset, inserted card. Happiness. Set clock. <--
NB: ran a disk check on SD card one folder path was corrupted after the 3rd level (00noseries/a_author/authors_name/{empty} ) <not caused by update AFAIKT
