It looks like no camera update with this one. I hope it fixes buttons sensitivity issue.
Your update is much newer than the one I got with the fixes. (last digits being .16 as opposed to .11 on ours)
It would be interesting to see if anything else has been added.
Check the system settings / display and gestures / to see if the back button - menu option has managed to make it in there please buddy

Liklihood is that it's just not put down specifically.
If you update to this. Then go into applications in settings. Then find camera in ALL tab, you will be able to see what 'camera' version you are running.
I have the camera fix update a while ago. My camera is listed as 5.0.582172

No back and home button in display gesture settings and camera version is still 5.0.569008.
What did they fix in the FW?
a very good question..........

Actually just noticed your update was only 17mb ??
The update that we got was much bigger 100+mb ??
Very strange indeed.
I'm running this same Camera version, though I have an AT&T One and have yet to receive an update.
I only started noticing the capacitive button issue after I installed a Spigen Ultra Crystal shield.....now the buttons are unresponsive at times.....not too often, but enough to be annoying.
Hope they get an update out ASAP.
Apparently the capacitive buttons sensitivity issue has been fixed with this update. The update is relatively small so I would not be surprised if this was the only area.
Could it be they have just decided to push out a quick maintenance fix and save you the good stuff for the 4.2.2 update which the rumour mill puts out should be begin rolling out end of the month beginning of june ....
I hope not as with carriers in North America at least, from the time they are released by the manufacturer it can take months before the carrier pushes out the update. I do not have the updated camera module and I do have some issues with the capacitive buttons.
Of course HTC Canada support via their facebook page is abysmal. Another Rogers (my carrier) user asked them when the update is coming to Rogers for the button issue (I see the dev version and Sprint users in North America have it now) and they responded by saying the usual rubbish of "do a hard reset and if that does not fix the issue then send it in for repair".

Here is what the Sprint update was (obviously a bit added for Sprint customization). I feel pretty confident that the developer version received exactly the same, save for the Sprint Zone client.
Edit: It appears I am wrong from a post in xda-developers.

According to Xda member this update didn't fix the capacitive buttons.
UPDATE: I reached out to HTC and they're telling my this update (1.29.1540.16) is nothing more than stability improvements. Has nothing to do with the camera. Nothing to do with capacitive button sensitivity. Completely different from the Sprint update (that had the capacitive button fix).

I see that now in the thread on xda. Unfortunate for those who have the developer version and who happen to have capacitive button issues. I believe that the issue is not so much of sensitivity but the area of the screen but I may be wrong.

That same member says that in actual fact this update did fix his issue with the capacitive buttons. Another member concurred
Placebo effect? Perhaps.That same member says that in actual fact this update did fix his issue with the capacitive buttons. Another member concurred
maybe it was fixed because capacitive button area seems to be bigger. I can touch home button slightly off and still register.
Sad stuff for HTC:
"HTC in disarray: staff departures, 'disastrous' First, and production problems cloud company's future"

Sad indeed, but also possibly the article is a little sensationalistic journalism at play. Notice HTC were not given any chance to respond or rebuke the article.
We know there was going to be a fallout after a botched launch of two products in succession. But don't write the under dog off just yet, the One might be the One good thing especially as it gathers momentum - more people who see it in the wild, in friends ad families hands, the more it will sell. They don't ave the marketing capital of Samsung, but word of mouth and genuinely great product will count for something... But whether its enough only time will see.....
This is definitely sensationalist. All you have to do is a bit of checking of sources which took a few minutes.
Kouji Kodera, the chief product officer, and the leading individual in this story, was already anticipated (on New Year's Eve, 2012) to leave the company by the end of Q1 2013:
To quote:
Goldman Sachs' remarks came after Taiwanese media Commercial Times reported Dec. 31 that Kouji Kodera and Matthew Costello, HTC's chief product officer and chief operating officer, will leave the company by the end of the first quarter of 2013.

Yes,
So this is news???
As regards the lesser players, I have not bothered to check on this but you will see that the only source - *as of my writing this* is the verge and sources quoting them.
HTC is definitely in trouble but this article is simply, somewhat like another site I will not mention, is in the business of page hits.
The HTC One doesn't ship with 4.2.2? Not a knock but he S4 ships with 4.2.2.
I wonder how HTC will be with future updates?

It will be releasing 4.2.2 at the end of this month.
4.1.2 and 4.2.2 differences are minimal really (notifcation toggles / lock screen widgets) and furthermore because manufacturers OS is so different to 'stock android' those differences are somewhat negated even further, as we already have different lock screens to choose from over stock android in 4.1.2
Shipping with 4.2.2 over 4.1.2 is not the big deal people like to make out it is. After all if 4.2.2 was so much better why does it cough and splutter on the S4 (lag & micro stutters and for some folks random areas of dead input effecting keyboard noticeable on swiftkey Q/1 key problematic) and yet 4.1.2 on the One is smooth as butter... So yeah I'll settle for smoothness as a priority over bragging rights - even if it means I'm one minor android revision behind the competitors for a couple of months...
As for future updates, we will remain supported.
i love htc, they make excellent phone, but the reason why i dont buy an htc phone is: SENSE. htc really needs to improve their software, they need to add more features, even the new version lags, in my opinion touchwiz is better than the sense. if there was an htc one running touchwiz i'd love to buy that phone.
wonder the timing of future updates? It is rumored that 4.3 will be released soon....so that would put the One 2 updates behind. I sure hope HTC continues to support its awesome flagship phone even amid rumors of turmoil within the company. As for the S4 lag....as you know it was quickly updated via a OTA from Samsung. Then the lag is was very overstated as most never had issue
with it in the first place. It was mainly carrier bloat....
