That should have been "new reset". And it probably should have been "changed factory reset". The factory reset option on the Device info page hasn't changed. Until you use it. The prompt is now:

Code:
All books, documents and custom settings will be deleted from this device.
Your software version will remain up to date.
Previously it was:

Code:
Resetting your eReader to its factory default state erases your books, documents and custom settings.
Both end up wiping the book partition and starting the setup process. But, the older version would wipe the root partition and install the factory firmware from the recovery partition.

This is enabled via an option in the config file or typing "devmodeon" in the search screen. It adds "Developer options" link to the bottom of the Device information page of the settings. This has various options including a factory reset. That factory reset is the same as that available in previous firmware versions from the Device information page and is the same as the manual factory reset.
