The release is still welcomed though, and in my brief testing, the app is indeed snappier, specifically when using the search. Search results display a lot faster in today's release than previous iterations, and Locations seems to refresh user locations faster too.
We don't know specifically what has been changed in this minor version bump, and the official changelog doesn't give anything away either:
As usual, the update is rolling out on Google Play, so it may take a couple of days to roll out to your device, but I doubt you'll be itching to get your hands on it anyway.
