I just saw this pop up too! I wonder when we will find the changelog- bit nervous about updating cameras since I only JUST got all 5 of mine to start working through use of a network range extender!

(if anyone is curious re the 930L firmware, below is what pops up when you log into the camera):

I got impatient and figured it was safe to run the update on my one camera which is now plugged into the router via ethernet. Went through smoothly. Maybe I'm imagining things but the video feels a tad smoother. The web UI however doesn't appear to be any different at least form my quick scan of each setting page. Guess we need to wait for the changelog!

I'm in the same boat with my DCS-932L. Just performed the update, but no change log posted. It's difficult to ID changes without a side-by-side UI comparison, and that doesn't guarantee anything since many changes are under the hood.

so what did the updates actually do?  I updated mine, went smooth, but I do not see any difference...
