The ".0.1" probably means a minor bug fix release. I haven't noticed anything different (including any performance changes) in my limited use of it so far.

Just updated manually, and couldn't see any changes.

It is worth updating, just for that feature!

One thing I wish they would add is ability to add and manage voice data (for VoiceView).

Updated a couple of days ago; since then have noticed that every 7-10 pages, I only get a partial page displayed. Going on to the next page and then back displays the missing text.

I have been having this problem since 5.8.5.0.2. With each update, I keep hoping it will be fixed, but so far no luck

I have the same problem for months, maybe more than a year. Not every 7-10 pages but from time to time.

Nobody said and my Paperwhites are working fine but when I have a problem, any problem, I can't resolve I do a factory reset. For the last eight years that's always worked for me.

I have had the same problem for so long (though lately I do not remember experiencing it). I thought I was the only one because I didn't find anything on the web or forum and didn't know how to explain it to Amazon so they would understand. I was always worried to miss some text without realizing

I have only had that partial page thing a few times months ago. Yes, going back or forth and back again fixed it. I haven't seen it though since like the last update, or the one before. I can't recall now.
This latest update got here by itself on my Voyage and Oasis and so far I haven't noticed the weirdness again.
