People spotted fixes to PDF reading in the latest update, fixes to stop the light staying on on shutdown (which hasn't happened to me since my 5.3.3 update), and I'm fairly sure they've squashed some memory leaks. Nothing major, just bugfixes to intermittent bugs, really.

No, I'm fairly sure renaming variable and function names in Java class files doesn't do any of that. Obfuscation is not encryption. (If anything, the obfuscated names are shorter, so it uses a tiny tiny bit less disk space than the original class files would.)
