By its major numbering jump alone, one might assume that this is a big jump, but it\u2019s simply not. As per usual, this update brings some under-the-hood changes to address device and vehicle-specific issues, and doesn\u2019t carry a detailed changelog either. Even the \u201cTheme\u201d setting rename we spotted back in August was removed.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say it\u2019s not worth updating.
