I just got prompted and updated my Yaesu FT-60 (now at 6.1.22) and ICOM IC-705 (now at 6.1.65) RT Systems software versions.
From what I can tell, the UI (user-interface) layout has changed. I picked up on it right away. I am not sure about any other changes yet as I haven't needed to program or adjust the radios from their current settings yet.
I wish they provided release history or release notes. I have reported 7 bugs to date with the IC-705 Programmer, which were resolved quickly.
Not sure I like it but maybe over time I will adjust. What I have noticed so far:
After I updated the IC-705 Programmer, I took a screen capture of the FT-60 Programmer before I updated for comparison:
I would be interested if you like the changes and if you have discovered any more changes.

- Font has changed (maybe a bit larger and spaced out more - my eyes are used to the previous font but maybe it was a request to change to larger for better readability)
- Active file TAB (top) and active window TAB are now greyed out (Why?) - before they were blue and gave the eye a visual cue as to which file is open (if more than one)
