Savvy users found the information long ago, considering it was put into the RIM knowledge base over a month ago now but realistically not everyone checks there.

- Language Support - Vietnamese and Hindi
- Google Calendar Synchronization Improvements
- Secret Question Changes

You can hit the RIM knowledge base for the full details on each change.
