Amazon
posted some information about the new features in the recent 5.13.7 firmware and some other changes that will be coming later this year.

Your reading experience, reimagined
Enjoy a new, intuitive, and easier Kindle reading experience with our latest software update that will be rolling out over the coming weeks to Kindle (8th Gen and above), Kindle Paperwhite (7th Gen and above) and Kindle Oasis devices.

I notice that the Voyage is not mentioned here.

An easier and more intuitive way to navigate on your device (coming in the next few weeks)
Now you can adjust your device brightness, turn on Airplane Mode, and get to All Settings with a simple swipe down from the top of your screen.
Easily switch between Home and Library, or your current book using the new bottom navigation.

These features are in 5.13.7.

An improved Home and Library experience (coming later this year)
When in your Library, enjoy new filter and sort menus, a new collections view, and an interactive scroll bar.
On Home, access more (up to 20) of your recently read books with a left swipe.

These will be coming after 5.13.7. It sounds like they are making the Kindle user interface closer to that of the iOS and Android apps.

Always getting better
These new experiences are in addition to Kindle reading updates we have made over the past year, including:
Faster - From clicking download to opening a book, start reading faster than before.
Display - display the cover of the book you’re reading on your lockscreen (Without-Ads devices only).

These were features released prior to 5.13.7.
