I took a look at the new Kindle firmware to see what has changed.
The files pubprodkey01.pem and pubprodkey02.pem have been moved from /etc/uks to a new archive named etc/uks.sqsh. I believe that these files have something to do with Kindle jailbreaking. Anyone who has a jailbroken Kindle might want to avoid this update until someone with more knowledge of the jailbreak process has had a chance to review this.
There is a new icon for Microsoft Word documents. This may relate to the announced upcoming ability to send documents directly from Microsoft Word to a Kindle Scribe. It is unknown whether this icon will represent an actual Word document on the device. I believe that it is more likely that it will be used for Kindle format docs converted from Word.
