I did the update and can report that it went well.

Can someone break out their decoder ring and tell me what this quote means from the Panasonic update page?

"The following services are available for improvements on performance, operability, and compatibility in the digital interchangeable lens system camera and lens."

I would like to know what the updates are for but this tells me nothing?
