For Pentax K-x officially there was just one firmware update v1.01, and now there is a second official update - v.1.02.
Reality was a bit different. Depending on when one downloaded v1.01 firmware for K-x they got
1.01.00.05 (as the first 1.01)
1.01.00.07 (as the second 1.01, that followed some time later)
1.01.00.10 (as third 1.01, that was released in April 2010, if I remember this correctly).
There were people who installed 1.01.00.07 and claimed that it helped not only with battery level indicator, but sorted out or reduced some SR problems as well (1/100s shutter speed issue).
These are the reasons why I think that there may be something else in v1.02 firmware release, beside the things that are stated officially.
