That included a kernel change and should have improved image display. But, the night-mode hack stopped working as it wasn't compatible.
This is a checksum for the Koboroot.tgz. It is used to validate if the file is complete. If it isn't, the file won't be used.

Eh, since my Aura was already working fine I probably received no benefit, but I went ahead and reupdated last night. I might not see a difference, but deep down I'm sure I'll get a good feeling from running newer Linux.
