I installed the new ERA FW 6.8.3246 and not noticing any differences from prior FW. Does anyone know what changes were made in the new FW?

Looking at the XML file in the update, here's the short list of the changes:

'Added the possibility to configure the control panel of device.',
'Added the DARKmode, recommended for reading in the dark.',
'Added the possibility to change the font size in the list of notes.',
'New filter options in the list of notes.'

Here's the long list:
Core changes
'Added DARKmode, recommended for reading in the dark. When the DARKmode is activated, the letters are displayed light and the background is dark, so that the background of the e-book page does not contrast with the dark surroundings and the eyes are not impaired.
It is possible to enable or disable the inversion of illustrations in the settings («Frontlight and DARKmode»). This option is only available if DARKmode is activated.',
'The control panel of the device can now be configured, that is, the most often used controls can be arranged on the control panel according to the user’s preferences. The following controls can be put there: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Task Manager, Flight mode, Synchronization, G-Sensor, Lock, Power off, Screenshot, Search and the shortcuts of all applications. Moreover, the quantity of controls in this control panel can also be configured.',
'Now it is possible to filter the list of notes in a book in the Notes Application and in the Reading Program. It is possible to separately select markers, comments, screenshots, pencil notes, translation notes and all notes.',
'Added the possibility to change the font size in the list of notes in the Notes Application and in the Reading Program.',
'A new firmware update UI makes the firmware update procedure more convenient. Before downloading or after installing a new firmware, you can see the list of changes to this firmware as a user-friendly formatted list.
Moreover, three is now the possibility to automatically download the firmware in the background. After download, the user only need to consent to the installation of the firmware update.',
'Added the possibility to download and install morphological dictionaries to significantly improve the quality of translation of words while reading with the dictionary. Morphological dictionaries allow to lead different forms of words back to the underlying infinitive or basic form. This helps to better find them in databases of dictionaries.',
'Added the Text Suggestions feature to the screen keyboard.'

Reading program
'Faster zoom in PDF, DjVu formatted books.',
'Faster handling of the list of notes in the «Content» of the Reading app as well as the Notes Application.',
'Fixed an issue that could cause the incorrect calculation of the reading progress in DOCX-formatted documents.',
'Fixed an issue that prevented some footnotes in FB2-formatted books from opening.',
'Fixed an issue that dictionaries didn’t work correctly in PDF-formatted books in the columns mode.',
'Fixed the problem that could cause grey frames in some illustrations in books of FB2 format.'

Other improvements
'Implementation of an automatic connection to Bluetooth headphones after the device is turned on, if previously paired headphones are found.',
'ReadRate service has been removed from the firmware due to the change of purpose of this service (now it is an information portal, not a recommendation service).',
'Fixed an issue that may have caused some third-party dictionaries in .dic format not to work on device.',
'Fixed an issue that caused Bluetooth headphones to not automatically reconnect after the device resumed from sleep mode.',
'Fixed a problem where pressing the next page button would cause double page flip.',
'Fixed the problem that caused pages to be skipped when using the next page button in PDF-formatted books.',
'Fixed the problem that the Bluetooth buttons of some device types (uHID devices working with the BT LE standard) could not be paired with the device.'
