New 3DS update out

Major changes by updating to 5.0.0-11

● improve the convenience of "Nintendo e shop" (※ 1)
In sleep mode during startup "Nintendo e-shop", we are now able to receive later unawares communication.
In addition, and will be able to receive at a later "update data", we have improved the usability.
● Responding to save data takeover tool
For details, "To move the saved data to the download version" refer to.
● Improved system stability and convenience
So you can enjoy a more comfortable, we improve the system stability and convenience.
 
Transfer save data from game cards to SD card for use in the digital version of the games. (This won't be available until the 27th)
 
Instant updates are pretty cool, and I need to use the transfer tool soon so that's good I guess.

For a second I was thinking this would bring an account system. Haha :(
 
●Improves the convience of the Nintendo eshop
You can now 'Download Later' via Spotpass while running the Nintendo eshop in sleep mode.
You can now download updates using 'Download Later'.
●Support for Save Data Transfer Tool
●Improving System Stability and Convenience

Save Data Tool is presumably for the package/download version transfer system they promised.
 
Would love to use the Save Transfer Tool, but the retail games I have right now still doesn't have digital versions.

How often do games get patched anyway? All I can think of is Mario Kart 7 online 1.1.

I'd hope they fix the Dual Language for Fire Emblem since I don't really like switching the language back and forth for it to work every time I start up the game.
 
Nintendo should really figure out how to let me exit the shop before images have finished downloading. That would be convenience.
 
So what exactly are the changes? I would like a list please and thank you.

EDIT: Just seen this:

Thanks StreetsAhead.

Can someone explain what the 2nd point means?
 
It black screened while updating, said "an error has occurred," told me to restart the system, and now that I did trying to pull up the settings screen or the eshop gives me "an error has occurred. please save your data in any software currently in use, then restart the system." restarting, removing the SD card, etc. seems to result in the same thing.

Screwed?
 
So far, all I've noticed is that the font in the eShop logo is different.
