Yup... nothing special.

Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

Probably just some stability, right
(and exploit removing)

I have a vita and a 3ds xl and Ive been on the ds more lately due to Zelda and Mario kart but I'm always hooked to the vita because of minecraft.
 
Hopefully, we'll soon know what exactly was changed... along with "where the f*ck has the Wii U Firmware development team has gone?!" (ha ha). We're closing in on 5 straight months without any Wii U update at all, even mere stability ones.

I would hazard a bet that they are waiting for the Wii U kernel exploit that works on all current firmwares to be released. Once that's out (any day now) and the method is made public, the Wii U updates will be just like with the 3DS.

I just realized that the Wii U has been on version 5.X.X for nearly a year now. I wonder what's up with that, since Nintendo typically bumps the major version number once every 6 months-ish. Maybe they're working on some major overhaul or something.

Wasn't that not getting publicly released until Nintendo patched it first?
 
Guessing the next major Wii U firmware will somehow include their new club nintendo replacement....maybe...?

Yep, yep. I think we'll see major new firmware updates for 3DS and Wii U at some point between E3 and the holidays to integrate (as much as they can with this generation) the new DeNA account system.
 
Apparently, the early word is that it adds stuff for the NFC adapter on old3DS, toys with DS stuff but doesn't block anything new on new3DS.

I can see now why Nintendo needed to do the mobile move fast .
