			I don't find much lag, but I tend to swipe slow. The faster you swipe the more lag, there is about 1 sec lag from lowest to full brightness after swiping fast. I wish the light level would pop up when you two finger swipe so you can see the percentage.

			So as near as anyone can tell this is really just a version bump with no discernible changes?   
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Where's the option for 'I dunno, because I'm not going to bother updating'?  |

			HI, with my affiliate (Mondadori -Italy) does not make the upgrade, but if I change it with "beta" works well as it should.

			It would be appreciated if someone who loads the new desktop could post its version number.

			O.K., so same wonky behavior as the previous firmware.  It's little annoyances like these that have kept me from upgrading from 3.12.1 which to date seems to be the most stable and bug free version for the Aura.

			My impression of the new firmware on a H2O is that it seems to be more sensitive (quicker) in detecting selecting text. Unfortunately, for me this seems to interfere with the slide-to-dimm-light gesture: a slide gesture often selects large blocks of text instead of controlling brightness. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Maybe this "silent" firmware release is to test some parameter tweaking...?  |
