New firmware 0603 for Philips 630/02

[etab]

New firmware 0603 dated 17-Aug-05 appeared on Philips support site. But there's no new feature declared and no upgrades published neither for other 630 models nor for 642 at all again. Can anybody tell what it's for?

They are so mysterious these guys from Philips

The 0603 update works fine on the 642 (it didn't even reset the player to a 630), but it doesn't seem any different from the previous firmware.
