It had been released at least four minutes earlier than usual, that was the time when I checked for an update.
 
New Maps logo!

From first inspection, Reminders icon is back LTR, and Maps has a new icon.
Edit: Been mentioned lol.
 
App store icon is correct in Settings now too. And Done/back and forward icons are no longer overlapping into the status bar when editing a screen shot taken in an app (aka not the homescreen).
