I just updated from 1.0 to 1.6 and can't find any documentation on what's been changed. Anyone have any ideas?

Copied and pasted directly off the Toshiba website:

* Updated VGA BIOS to correct an intermittent blue-screen issue.
* A change was made to correct an issue on computers with the new 7312S1 inverter, where the back light would stay off when the lid switch was pressed and released quickly.

* Changed the Intel Alviso-C1 Revision ID (Intel Stable Image Platform).

Sweet thanks.

I browsed around their website but it's a bit of a maze. I thought the annoying M40 noise was removed but I wasn't sure if the issue was just waiting to rear it's ugly head when I least expected it.
