K4 Changelog

Amazon refuses to publish what changes have been made in every firmware updatde. It is annoying because sometime some useful features disappear in an update. This is the wiki page to reflect the good/bad changes with each update right from v4.0.0. I hope it help people to decide which firmware is best suited for them based on major/minor changes.
