release dates and version numbers don't change in a "silent update". the only way you'll know that it's a different firmware is to look at the exif information.
you can also compare the fw (bin) files.
i'm optimistic that there are improvements (why release it if there's none?) in various aspects of the camera. SR, usability, battery life, who knows but pentax?
we'll find out as this new FW gets a workout from various kx users.
".10" md5 checksum is
MD5: 4c588f188f673702e7e200f9ab4f160f
".07" version was
MD5: 2c5376d258e834d0c1d445a2d8c34efc
doing a binary compare from the "07" version results in 2395227 bytes difference (about 2mb) or about 20% of the fw has changed. that's significant IMHO.
