The things I marked red are surely there as I can use them on my WP8.1 on L520. Rest are mostly somethings which I haven't tested yet. There is also an official changelog somewhere on microsoft. I will send you the link here sometime later.

Hi Hasan,

Can you please explain these where they are?

Filter through installed apps by usage/install date
Upload files through Internet Explorer 11
File picker
Kid's Corner - Password won't be displayed (bug fix)
Navigation bar for phones without physical keys on the front
Notification if charger isn’t of adequate power

Mine is too L520
One more on connecting phone to PC via USB it will ask to choose actions in W7+ later versions. Right ?

If you want to see apps sorted by install date, you have to go to store>settings>my apps
If you want to see apps by the data usage, you have to open Battery Saver from your app list and tap on the usage part.
Uploading files through internet explorer can be demonstrated by going to your email website and attaching a file to the mail.
File picker is not a user interface, it is a control and set of APIs that allow users to implement asking for files. Great applications of it include Aerize File Explorer (you should try it out).
The bug for the Kid's Corner has been fixed. Try turning on Kids Corner by going into settings and then even if you have a PIN, you don't have to enter it to use kid's corner.
See any video about the Lumia 630, 930 and there you can see about the navigation bars. (The setting is available only on phones without the physical keys)
I have yet to see the notification if the charger isn't of adequate power but the setting is present.

On connecting the phone to PC, your PC settings will determine it asks to chose an action.
